The City has received a proposal for an outbuilding at 8 Lacebark Court Ellenbrook. The details of the proposal are as follows:
- Area: 34.33m² (4.26m x 8.06m)
- Wall height: 3.5m
- Overall height: 3.571m.
The applicant is seeking approval for a larger outbuilding (shed) than what is permitted “as of right” under the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes). The proposal includes the following variations:
Outbuildings (Clause 5.4.3 of the R-Codes):
- A setback of 0.95m, in lieu of the 1m permitted as of right.
- A wall height of 3m, in lieu of the 2.4 metres permitted as of right (noting the overall height complies with the ‘as of right’ provisions)
- A primary street setback of 1.59m, in lieu of the 6m permitted as of right.
As a result, the proposal requires an assessment against the applicable design principles which read:
- “Outbuildings that do not detract from the streetscape or the visual amenity of residents or neighbouring properties.”
The City seeks your feedback on the proposed variations as an affected landowner.
Submissions ending 26 August 2025
