As demonstrated in the above table, the proposed development complies with the
requirements of DCP 13, with the exception of the frontage, landscaped open space,
front setback and side boundary setbacks for the southern elevation. These issues are
discussed in more detail below.
Frontage
The subject site has a frontage of 15.24 metres to Wonga Street, which is a non
compliance with the numerical requirement of DCP 13, which requires a frontage of
20 metres for multiple unit developments.
However, as the proposal relates only to internal alterations and upgrading works to
the exterior of the existing building for its conversion to the multiple unit
development, the non compliance with the frontage is considered reasonable. It will
not affect the streetscape of Wonga Street, as there will be no change to the built form
other than an improvement due to the upgrading works.
