The City has received an application for a proposed carport at Lot 121 (No.303) Vines Avenue, The Vines. The details of the proposal are as follows:
- Measures 3.56m x 12.83m (45.67m²)
- Pole height: 3m
- Overall height of pitched roof: 3.714m
The applicant is seeking approval for a reduced setback than what is permitted “as of right” under the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes). The proposal includes the following departures:
- A setback to the western lot boundary of 0.5m, in lieu of the 1m permitted as of right.
As a result, the proposal requires an assessment against the applicable design principles which read:
Design Principles:
P3.1 Buildings set back from lot boundaries or adjacent buildings on the same lot so as to:
- reduce impacts of building bulk on adjoining properties;
- provide adequate sunlight and ventilation to the building and open spaces on the site and adjoining properties; and
- minimise the extent of overlooking and resultant loss of privacy on adjoining properties.
The City seeks your feedback on the proposed variations as an affected landowner.
Submissions ending 27 August 2025
