The Shire has received application for an outbuilding upon 1635 (Lot 11) North West Coastal Highway, Buller.

Lot 11 is zoned 'Development' and falls within the area addressed by the Buller Structure Plan which assigns a base density residential code of Low Density Residential R5. The Outbuildings Local Planning Policy requires that outbuildings upon R5 lots should have a maximum area of 180m2.

Lot 11 contains an existing 258m2 outbuilding and the application is for a 240m2 outbuilding that would increase the total outbuilding area upon Lot 11 to 498m2.

The Outbuildings Policy also sets a maximum outbuilding wall height of 4m and maximum total height of 5m and the proposed shed would have a wall height of 5.42m and a total height of 6.772m (although it is noted that the shed would be set into cut earthworks at a depth of 1.5m on the western side thereby presenting a lesser height when viewed from the west/highway elevation).

Due to the application proposing variation to the area and height requirements of the Outbuildings Policy, this matter is being advertised for public comment prior to being presented to a meeting of Council for determination. 

A copy of the application along with background information, and a submission form should you wish to make comment (support/objection/indifferent) can be viewed by clicking on the below links.

Comments must be received by the Shire prior to 4:00pm Friday 22 March 2024.
