1. Introduction
This report supports the application for the use and development of the properties known as No. 4 Taylor Court, Colac.
The following sections of this report will provide further clarification of the nature of the proposed development including:
• Existing site details; • Development concept • Detailed assessment against the provisions of Clause 55 of the Colac Otway Planning Scheme. In summary it is considered that the proposed development meets the regulatory requirements of the City of Hobsons Bay Planning Scheme and should be approved under delegated authority available to the officers of the municipality.
- I -
2. Subject Site 2.1 Location The site (approx 534 square metres) is located at the north western end of Taylor Court in Colac. The site is highly angular in shape with a frontage of approximately 11 metres to Taylor Court, with depths along it’s northern and southern side boundaries of approx. 47.48 metres and 27.91 meters respectively. The length of the rear boundary is approx. 33.53 metres with a 2M easement noted to this rear boundary.
Figure 1 Locality Map
The site at present is generally flat across all axis with little topographical features. There is an existing aged brick veneer dwelling on the site as well which will be demolished as part of the two dwelling unit development. The allotments represent a development opportunity and is of adequate size within this old residential estate capable of supporting a development of this type.
Land abutting to the north west of the site is occupied by a nearly identical single storey late 70’s / early 80’s rendered brick veneer dwelling. To the rear of this site is a large expanse of recreational open space which will not be affected to any detriment by the proposal. To the south of the site is a similar rendered brick veneer dwelling separated from the subject site by a 2.9M / 3.0M wide driveway to the boundary. The large habitable windows to this property are mostly located to the east and west of the dwelling itself. It is felt (and shown through the shadow diagrams provided in the plans submitted) that the amenity of this dwelling will not be affected as the driveway is of appropriate width to distance our single storey development from the windows .
- II -
Dwelling styles within this aged established residential estate, particularly in this street, vary in design and built form; however a common feature is their size being generally single storey aged dwellings typically constructed of brick veneer or weatherboard- however, there are a growing number of unit type developments in both the immediate vicinity (as mentioned) as well as in the general neighbourhood which are slowly providing uplift and modernity.
Street view of 4 Taylor Court
2.2 Development Proposal Approval is sought to construct two (2) single storey dwellings erected side by side on the subject site.
The internal layout of the dwellings will provide the following features:
1. Building layouts comprising an open living, meals and kitchen area with connections to large private open spaces, single lock up garages, and amenities, to all ground floors. Habitable windows facing Northern solar access are located both the lower and upper floors. These design features will offer the spacing required to preserve the amenity of the secluded open spaces of the adjoining lots which is a key character element of this area.
Full details of the internal layout of the buildings including dimensions are provided on the submitted plans.
3.1 Zoning and Overlays The subject site is in a ‘General Residential Zone 1’ (GRZ1) of the Colac Otway Council. Notable purposes of this zone are:
• To encourage development that respects the neighbourhood character of the area. • To implement neighbourhood character policy and adopted neighbourhood character
guidelines. • To provide a diversity of housing types and moderate housing growth in locations offering good
access to services and transport. It is felt by the designers that the design and form of the proposal fits well into these. Traditional shapes (such as hipped roofs, etc.) have been incorporated into this more contemporary interpretation in order to respect the existing character of the area. The site is very well placed in consideration of community services and transport and, through the proposal, should meet the purpose of providing a moderately more dense housing form.
- III -
3.2 State Planning Policy Framework The proposed development respects and fits well within the objectives of the state planning policy framework which are:
• To provide for the fair, orderly, economic and sustainable use and development of land • To provide for the protection of natural and man-made resources and the maintenance of
ecological processes and genetic diversity • To secure a pleasant, efficient and safe working, living and recreational environment for all
Victorians and visitors to Victoria • To conserve and enhance those buildings, areas or other places which are of scientific,
aesthetic, architectural or historical interest, or otherwise of special cultural value • To protect public utilities and other assets and enable the orderly provision and coordination of
public utilities and other facilities for the benefit of the community • To facilitate development in accordance with the objectives set out in the points above • To balance the present and future interests of all Victorians
3.2 Municipal Strategic Statement The proposed development by and large meets the objectives as set out under the four themes of Land use, Built form, Open space and Natural environment and infrastructure and transportation. It does so by:
• Providing a diverse type of housing type and style which caters for increasingly changing needs of households.
• Providing redevelopment of the deteriorating housing type on the subject site. • Providing a subdivision that allows for a higher density type of living to cater for the diversity of
the greater community. • Exceeding the minimum compliance with the requirements of Clauses 54 and 55. • Incorporates space for the long term viability and safe retention of canopy trees. • Providing accommodation for both the short and long term increase in projected population
density • Providing medium density housing close to activity centres • Positively contributing to the preferred neighbourhood character of an area close to activity
centres • Improving access to affordable and appropriate housing

4. Response to Clause 55 of the City of Colac Otway Planning Scheme
Clause 55: Two or More Dwellings on a Lot and Residential Buildings B1 Neighbourhood
Character It is considered that the proposed development is in line with future developments within the neighbourhood character of this residential area. The key elements of neighbourhood character that come to light in this location are:
1. The new and contemporary dwelling styles that are coming to exist in the street and locality so far.
2. The progressively developing double storey built forms of those that do exist nearby.
3. The focus given to orientating dwellings so as to maximise the northerly aspect of the site.
4. The sense of spacing provided at the rear of dwellings to preserve secluded private open spaces.
5. Separation between dwellings where possible to provide a sense of greenery.
It is considered that the proposed development will fit comfortably within the developing streetscape and preserve these character elements. Complies
B2 Residential Policy The proposed development site is well located in relation to existing and proposed infrastructure. Shopping centres, education facilities and public transport is available within 1KM of the site along nearby Murray Street. The proposed development also offers diversity in housing choice and energy efficient design emphasised by the orientation of the dwellings which maximise solar access to living areas and open spaces. Complies
B3 Dwelling Diversity Standard B3 refers to 10 or more dwellings however it is considered that the proposal achieves the desired market demand for dwellings in this location. Not Applicable
B4 Infrastructure It is noted that the site does not adjoin floodplains. The proposal will not overload the existing available infrastructure as the datum heights of the proposed dwellings have taken this into account in accordance with council instructions and been given the adequate clearance from Melbourne Water. Complies
B5 Integration with the Street
The proposed development provides for adequate pedestrian and vehicle links. Both dwellings are readily identified from the street frontage and no front fences are proposed. Complies

B13 Landscaping Opportunities for detailed landscaping can be achieved and plans for its proposal are outlined and provided in the existing submission. Complies
B14 Access The existing single crossover will be retained as the access point to the site. The width of the driveway is satisfactory to meet standard driveways of Colac Otway Council and adequate sight lines exist to ensure safe ingress and egress. Complies
B15 Parking Location Parking spaces are well connected to the proposed dwellings to ensure security and safety. Complies
B16 Parking Provision The proposed development offers adequate car spaces per dwelling. The car spaces and garage dimensions meet the standards. Complies
B17 Side and Rear Setbacks The proposed setbacks satisfy the standards. Complies
B18 Walls on Boundary One wall on the boundary is proposed for this development to the front dwelling only. This wall is well within the allowable limits and will have little to no impact on adjoining properties due to the existing driveway to the south. Complies
B19 Daylight to Existing Windows
Adequate separation has been provided between the habitable room windows of the existing dwellings surrounding and proposed dwellings to allow adequate daylight into existing habitable room windows. Complies

B20 North Facing Windows North facing windows are not restricted by nearby buildings or lot boundaries.. Complies
B21 Overshadowing Open Space
The single storey nature of the development and large open spaces on adjoining sites means there is little detrimental overshadowing to the adjoining sites. Complies
B22 Overlooking The single storey nature of the site ensures there are no overlooking issues detrimental to the amenity of the adjoining sites. Compliance.
B23 Internal Views No windows or balconies are proposed which will encourage internal views between dwellings. Complies
B24 Noise Impacts No exceptional noise sources have been identified that warrant a change in building design. Complies
B25 Accessibility The relatively flat levelled nature of the site will ensure convenient and safe access for residents and visitors. Complies.
B26 Dwelling Entry All dwellings will have separate entries visible from the street. Complies
B27 Daylight to New Windows Proposed habitable room windows will have ample space to receive adequate daylight. Complies
B28 Private Open Space Each dwelling will have the following areas of secluded private open space: Unit 1 – 64.02 m2 (Approximately) Unit 2 – 105.09 m2 (Approximately) Each dwelling will have family rooms which adjoin these open space areas allowing for convenient access. Complies
B29 Solar Access to Open Space

B30 Storage A dedicated storage facility is proposed for each dwelling which meets the minimum standards. Complies.
B31 Design Detail It is considered that the proposed development respects the established and future neighbourhood character. All aspects of the design including façade articulation, window and door proportions and roof form have been addressed in the design response and are considered to be satisfactory. Complies

- VIII -
5. Response to Clause 22.09 The proposed development meets the objectives as set out under Clause 22.09 of the Colac Otway planning scheme in the following ways; by:
• Providing a diverse type of housing type in an appropriate location to meet the existing and future needs of the municipality’s changing population.
• Providing a residential development of a high quality and standard which allows for meaningful on site landscaping
• Providing a contemporary design to make a positive contribution to the existing neighbourhood streetscape
• Providing varied forms of housing / density in an appropriate residential location. • Providing a development that takes into account its interface with the residential development
on adjoining sites and responds in a positive manner to the individual circumstances of the site itself.
• Providing a landscape plan that illustrates thoughtful meaningful landscaping to the development to provide uplift to the neighbourhood.
• Respecting the setbacks of the neighbourhood by reducing any dominance of hard areas and parking spaces by recessing these parking spaces.
• Recessing the majority of upper floor setbacks to reduce the visual dominance of these on the streetscape and to adjoining neighbours.
• Not including front fencing to maintain the open nature of the streetscape. • Providing a highly articulated façade for visual interest and a softened built form.
- IX -
6. Conclusion
With a detailed assessment undertaken of the proposed development under Clause 55, the following conclusions can be drawn on this proposal.
• The proposed single storey design is respectful of the varied existing neighbourhood character (as well as that visible under construction in the greater area) and is designed in a manner so that building heights and articulation will provide adequate spacing between the site and the adjoining properties.
• The proposed development is well located in relation to existing public transport networks, shops and community facilities, making it a desirable location for medium density housing encouraged by State Planning Policy.
It is submitted for all of the above reasons that this application for two (2) single storey dwellings at No 4 Taylor Court, Colac, should be supported by the Colac Otway Shire with the delegation available to the officers of the municipality.
