This small lot house was JREY approved with Brisbane City Council for renovations on a small lot.
The proposed house extension required a number of minor performance outcomes against the dwelling house small lot code for side setbacks and site cover. The side setback non-compliance is limited to new building work for screening to the upper floor sunroom with the lower floor garden room having a height of less than 3.5m and being non-habitable space as per AO6 of the dwelling house small lot code.
Performance outcomes were sought for site cover – being only 1.6% above the 50% acceptable outcome – and gross floor area within the neighbourhood plan code. The dwelling maintained a significant percentage of open space for landscaping and is of a bulk and scale consistent with the streetscape.
Codes assessed within the Brisbane City Plan 2014 included:
- Low Medium Density Residential Zone Code
- Dwelling House (Small Lot) Code
- Traditional Building Character (Design) Code
- New Farm Teneriffe Hill Neighbourhood Plan Code
