Performance Criteria
3.6 No performance criteria.
(a) 3.6 metres if less than
1200m 2 ;
(b) 6 metres if between 1200m 2
and 3000m 2 ; or
(c) a width necessary to
accommodate a street
reservation required for any
re-subdivision of the lot if
more than 3000m 2 .
All lots have a minimum road frontage of 3.6 metres. Lot 11, which has an
area in excess of 3000m2, is capable of containing a street reservation and the
submitted design shows a road butt halting at the site. Council’s Director
Engineering Services would prefer that this was not a fully constructed road at
this point but left as a driveway access crossover. Future upgrading can occur
if necessary.
Orientation and Energy
3.7 A minimum of 70% of all lots are
to be orientated to facilitate the
siting of houses to take advantage
of solar access by ensuring that
houses can be built on the lot(s)
in which the living room will
receive not less than 4 hours of
sunshine between 9am and 3pm
on June 21.
3.8 Any new lot in an established
residential area is to have no
more than one third of its area
covered by the shadow of existing
development on June 21 between
the hours of 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
3.7 Lots are to be orientated to
facilitate the siting of dwellings to
take advantage of microclimatic
benefits, and have dimensions to
allow adequate on site solar
access, taking into account likely
dwelling size and the relationship
of each lot to the street.
3.8 The dimensions of any lot are to
allow solar access on site to be
maximized, taking into account
the likely house size and the
relationship of each lot to existing
buildings or adjoining land.
The proposal meets the Acceptable Solutions.
