Urban Context
6 New development adjacent to or in the vicinity of a Heritage Item,
within an urban or commercial setting, must:
i) retain the existing characteristics of the street including the
setback, height and rhythm of facades, and is to be sympathetic
to the materials and detailing of the earlier facades. Refer to
Figure 8.2-2;
ii) have an appropriate street setback of higher levels to retain a
pedestrian building scale. The street setback of these higher
levels is to be consistent with neighbouring new development to
create a cohesive upper level building line. Refer to Figure 8.2-2.
iii) must have a minimum 12m building separation to the Heritage
Item (more if side setback requirements are not met within the
12m) as per Figure 8.2-2;
iv) must have a street facade height equal to or less than the
adjacent Heritage Item street facade height.
v) any building mass above Heritage Item street facade height
must be stepped back 6m from the front/street facade as in
Figure 8.2-2;

Item site is to achieve a mature height of 4m.
