LOT 280 (NO. 280) THE BOULEVARD, CITY BEACH - SINGLE STOREY
DWELLING
SUMMARY:
The Town has received an application for a single storey dwelling at No. 280 The Boulevard,
City Beach. The dwelling has a triple garage and has an alfresco within the rear setback
area.
The application requires a Council determination as an assessment is required against the
buildings setback from the boundary and site works performance criteria of the Residential
Design Codes of WA (R.Codes) and an objection has been received during the consultation
period that cannot be resolved through a condition of planning approval.
The proposal is considered to satisfy the relevant performance criteria relating to buildings
setback from the boundary and site works for the following reasons:-
• retains the visual impression of the natural level of a site, as seen from the street and
adjoining properties; and
• the alfresco will have minimal impact on direct sun and ventilation to the adjoining
properties and is well set back from both side boundaries.
Accordingly the proposal is recommended for approval, subject to conditions.
PURPOSE OF REPORT:
To consider an application for a single storey dwelling requiring assessment under the
performance criteria of the Residential Design Codes (R Codes) in respect to rear setback
and site works.
