DV12.139 LOT 58 (NO. 1) JUBILEE CRESCENT, CITY BEACH - ADDITIONS AND
ALTERATIONS TO EXISTING DWELLING - STORE, DECK EXTENSION AND
COVERED ALFRESCO
SUMMARY:
The Town has received an application for additions and alterations to an existing dwelling at
No. 1 Jubilee Crescent, City Beach. The plans show a store with a 6.6 metre setback, and a
deck with a 5.3 metre setback, to the primary street boundary, in lieu of 7.5 metres. The
plans also show a covered alfresco with a 1.0 metre setback to the rear boundary, in lieu of
6.0 metres.
The application requires a Council determination as an assessment is required against the
setback of buildings generally and the boundary setbacks 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 for the following
reasons:-
• provides adequate privacy and open space for the dwelling;
• provides adequate direct sun and ventilation to the building;
• ensures adequate direct sun and ventilation being available to adjoining properties;
• provides adequate direct sun to the building and appurtenant open spaces; and
• assists in protecting privacy between adjoining properties
Accordingly, the proposal is recommended for approval.
