DA25/0398 - 10 Mercer Road, Riverton – x2 Grouped Dwellings

Consultation has concluded

Your comments are invited for x2 Grouped Dwellings at 10 Mercer Road, Riverton.

The City has received a development application for the above. An assessment of the development proposal found that it does not meet all of the deemed-to-comply requirements of Residential Design Codes Vol 1 (R-Codes), as detailed below.

Part 5.1.3 - Lot Boundary Setbacks

The proposal includes two boundary walls to the west-side lot boundary that do not meet the deemed-to-comply requirements:

  • The combined length of both walls on the boundary are to a length of 20.38m in lieu of the maximum length permitted of 17.62m; and
  • The northern-most boundary wall is to a maximum height of 3.7m in lieu of the maximum permitted height of 3.5m.

The wall(s) in question are highlighted on the development plans on this webpage. Although the boundary walls do not achieve the ‘deemed-to-comply’ pathway requirements, the variation can be considered against the ‘design principles’ of the R-Codes.
