Proposed Outbuilding – 8 (Lot 131) Dune Vista, Buller

Published: Tuesday, 16 April 2019 at 10:44:03 AM

Council’s Outbuildings Local Planning Policy requires that outbuildings within the Residential R2.5 zone should have a maximum wall height of 3.5m and a maximum overall height of 4.5m (as measured from natural ground level).

 The submitted application proposes an outbuilding with a skillion roof that would be 4.686m as measured to its highest point; noting also that this elevation of the outbuilding would be on an area of 0.386m fill, meaning that the highest point of the outbuilding would be 5.072m.

 The outbuilding is also proposed to be sited 2.9m from the northern side property boundary at its closest point. Table 1 of the state-wide Residential Design Codes of Western Australia recommends a setback for (non-front) boundary setbacks of 7.5m for R2.5 zoned properties.

 As the application is seeking variation to the Outbuilding policy height and R-Code setback requirements it is required to be placed before a meeting of Council for its determination.

The Shire has written to the surrounding landowners directly and is also inviting comment from any other interested party prior to this matter being presented to the meeting of Council which will be held on Wednesday, 15 May 2019 commencing at 9:00am for its determination. 

The Council meeting is open to the public should you wish to attend, and will be held at the Council Chambers, 3270 Chapman Valley Road, Nabawa.
