AGAINST
MAYOR WALSH
CR FRIEDERSDORFF
During discussion Cr Duniam made the following statement in support of the motion:
Page 206: - The predominant residential character with buildings of modest scale and
form.
Page 206: - In terms of consistency with the character outlined below...the proposal is
sizeable in terms of scale; and could not be described as ‘modest’, however it is not
considered to be unreasonably out of character. There is a general pattern of closely built
residential houses, which the proposal is consistent with. This application is for 2 cojoined
units, which increases the density of housing in this area on this small lot, and not
just building closely to another residential house.
Boat Harbour Beach Urban Design and building appearance and neighbourhood
character – (pages 206 – 213) performance criteria – I have found six does not comply
with acceptable solution, those being 1.1, 1.2 (twice), 1.4 and 1.10, also 4.2.
But the DA is capable of complying with acceptable solution 1.7 subject to permit
conditions!
Comment page 209 – The scale of the building is relatively significant in relation to the
size of the lot and as such the proposal invokes a number of discretions that relate to size
and scale. It goes onto say, the impacts on neighbouring properties are expected to
involve overshadowing and overlooking – I am assuming of Amenity.
Comment page 218 – Again, the proposal is considered to be of a somewhat substantial
scale in relation to the lot size, and the Planning Scheme’s objectives for encouraging
smaller scale modest development throughout Boat Harbour. Further on...the scale of
the building is likely to have some impact on the amenity of adjacent residential
properties by way of loss of views, privacy and overshadowing.
