The City has received an application for a garage at 11 Woodpine Court, Ballajura. The details of the proposal are as follows:

- Dimensions: 7m x 6.6m (46.2m²)

- Wall height: 2.6m

- Ridge height: 4.059m

- Setback: 3.036m from the front boundary

The applicant seeks to vary the permitted “as of right” provisions outlined in the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes) as follows:

5.1.3 Lot boundary setbacks

  • The applicant is seeking approval for a 6.6m long boundary wall. Boundary walls are not permitted “as of right” in areas with a density code of R17.5 under the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes).

5.2.1 Setback of carports and garages

  • A front setback of 3.036m in lieu of the 4.5m permitted as of right.

As a result, the proposal requires an assessment against the applicable design principle.

The City seeks your feedback on the proposed variations as an affected landowner.
