The City has received a planning application for a residential outbuilding at Lot 13 (No.26) De Grey Retreat, Jane Brook.
The lot is zoned Urban under the Metropolitan Region Scheme and Residential with a density code of R30 under the City’s Local Planning Scheme No.17.
The proposal consists of the following particulars:
- 5 x 4m metal shed in the colour basalt and monument
- 2.4m wall height, with a roof height of 2.94m
- Total floor area of 20m².
This proposal varies the deemed-to-comply provisions of the Residential Design Codes (Part B) by virtue of proposing a 0.150m setback in lieu of the required 1m.
The associated performance criteria of Lot Boundary Setbacks are as follows:
“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.
Prior to the determination of application, the City wishes to formally invite you to provide a submission on this proposal.
Submissions ending 19 September 2025
