The City has received a development application for a proposed single house on Lot 57 (No.35) Islington Avenue DAYTON WA 6055. The applicant is proposing an as-of-right variation to the lot boundary setbacks on the west and east boundaries. The details of the proposed development are as follows:
Zoned: R20
- Site Area: 450m2
- Site Cover: 243.92m2
- Wall height: 2.7m
- Pitched Roof height: 5.4m
The as-of-right variation is:
- 1.05m in place of 1.5m from both the west boundary
- 1.26m in place of 1.5m from the east boundary
(as seen on the associated site plans).
The City will conduct an alternative merit-based assessment against the design principles of the Residential Design Codes - 5.1.3 Lot boundary setbacks.
Design Principles:
P3.1 Buildings set back from lot boundaries or adjacent buildings on the same lotso 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 Council giving consideration to the proposal, comments from the surrounding owners are being sought.
Submissions ending 24 December 2025.
