Six-home London Street plan carries 1.7-metre setback departure in Mount Hawthorn City of Vincent briefing notes recommended approval of six grouped dwellings at 43 and 45 London Street, including a three-storey form and a 1.3-metre second-floor roof-terrace setback where three metres is the deemed-to-comply standard. Council: City of Vincent Meeting: 10 Nov 2026 6:00 PM Recorded status: proposed BRIEF City of Vincent briefing notes recommended approval of six grouped dwellings at 43 and 45 London Street, Mount Hawthorn. The proposal includes a three-storey form and a 1.3-metre second-floor roof-terrace setback against a three-metre deemed-to-comply standard. Proposed conditions cover privacy, construction and landscaping, but the briefing notes do not record a final council vote or resolution. KEY FACTS - The 10 November 2026 briefing notes listed a recommendation to approve six grouped dwellings at 43 and 45 London Street, Mount Hawthorn. - The recommendation is subject to proposed conditions covering privacy, construction management, landscaping, parking, waste and stormwater. - Administration said the proposed second-floor roof-terrace setback was 1.3 metres rather than the three-metre deemed-to-comply setback, a departure of 1.7 metres. - The proposed landscaping conditions would require 12 small trees and four new London Street verge trees. - The supplied briefing notes do not record a final council resolution or vote on the application. ANALYSIS OF THE RECORD - The supplied briefing notes record a recommendation, not a final determination of the London Street application. Whether it was later adopted, amended or refused is not established by this record. - The resident submission cites 11.85 metres generally and 10.67 metres specifically for Lot 6. These are attributed statements, not independently verified measurements. - The setback departure recalculates correctly: three metres minus 1.3 metres equals 1.7 metres. QUESTIONS FOR FOLLOW-UP REPORTING - Was the Item 5.3 recommendation later adopted, amended or refused at a council meeting? - What final plans and conditions, if any, were approved, including the roof-terrace setback? - What building height in metres was ultimately approved, if any approval was granted? RECORDED NEXT STEPS - Check any subsequent City of Vincent council meeting record for a final determination of Item 5.3, if one has been made.

"Summary of Submissions - Applicant's Response 8. Summary of Submissions - Administration's Response 9. Determination Advice Notes RECOMMENDATION: That Council, in accordance with the provisions of the City of Vincent Local Planning Scheme No. 2 and the Metropolitan Region Scheme, APPROVES the application for Six Grouped Dwellings at Nos. 43 & 45 (Lots: 291 & 292 D/P: 2334) London Street, Mount Hawthorn in accordance with the plans shown in Attachment 2, subject to the following conditions, with the associated determination advice notes in Attachment 9: 1. Development Plans This approval is for Six Grouped Dwellings as shown on the approved plans dated 9 September 2026, 10 September 2026 and 12 September 2026. No other development forms part of this approval;" (Item 5.3 recommendation and proposed condition 1) Administration said the property is zoned R40 and was assessed against the provisions for an R40 property, not R80. "CR WORNER: To address the comments made within the gallery, what comments do we have to address community's concerns to an R40 versus an R80 outcome. MANAGER DEVELOPMENT & DESIGN: Administration has not undertaken an assessment against an R80 density. Administration's role is to assess and provide recommendations on proposed developments against their relevant planning framework. This property is zoned R40 and has been assessed against the provisions of an R40 property." (Item 5.3, response on density assessment) Administration said the built-form area permits two storeys and the proposal seeks a departure for a three-storey maximum height. "CR WHEADON: If this was a single dwelling, could it be proposed at the same height and the same number of car parking bays as the proposed grouped dwellings? MANAGER DEVELOPMENT & DESIGN: This built form area permits two storeys, the departure the development seeks is a three storey maximum height." (Item 5.3, response on building height) Administration clarified that the proposed second-floor roof-terrace setback was 1.3 metres against a three-metre deemed-to-comply setback, a 1.7-metre departure rather than the 0.2 metres previously stated in Attachment 8. "MANAGER DEVELOPMENT & DESIGN: Administration confirms that the proposed second floor (roof terrace) setback is 1.3 metres as detailed in the report, the deemed-to-comply setback is 3 metres, meaning the proposed setback departure is 1.7 metres instead of 0.2 metres as indicated in Attachment 8, this has been updated in Attachment 8." (Item 5.3, setback correction) The quoted visual privacy condition would require the specified building elements to be implemented before occupation or use and maintained thereafter. "3. Visual Privacy Building elements required to meet the Deemed-to-Comply standards of Clause 3.10 of the R Codes Volume 1 Part C and shown on the approved plans are to be implemented prior to the occupation or use of the development, and maintained thereafter, to the satisfaction of the City;" (Item 5.3, proposed condition 3) The quoted construction condition would require a construction management plan to be submitted and approved before works commence, then implemented throughout construction. "5.2 Prior to the commencement of works, a Construction Management Plan shall be submitted to, and approved by, the City. Once approved, the Plan shall be implemented in full and complied with at all times for the duration of construction of the development, to the satisfaction of the City." (Item 5.3, proposed condition 5.2) The landscaping plan requirements include minimums of 7.4 per cent soft landscaping, 3.8 per cent planting areas and 12 small trees within deep-soil and on-structure planting areas, plus four new London Street verge trees. "The plan shall be drawn to a scale of 1:100, be generally in accordance with the landscaping plan dated 9 September 2026, and shall show the following: • The location and type of proposed trees and plants; • Areas to be irrigated or reticulated; • The provision of a minimum 7.4 percent soft landscaping, as defined by the Residential Design Codes Volume 1; • The provision of a minimum of 3.8 percent planting areas; • The provision of a minimum of 12 small trees within the deep soil areas and on- structure planting areas provided. • The tree species are to be in accordance with the City's recommended tree species list; and • The provision of four new trees within the verge of London Street; 7.
