Amenity and aesthetics considerations for development policy (removal / resiting a dwelling)
The objective of this amenity and aesthetics policy (removal / resiting a dwelling) (PDF,133kB), effective from 4 March 2015, is to ensure development for the resiting of a dwelling from one allotment to another allotment does not detract from the amenity or aesthetics of the area.
In addition, the Policy sets out the amount and type of security required (bonding of work) to ensure that any necessary renovations are completed within an appropriate time frame.
An application for Concurrence Agency Referral must be submitted to Council and approval obtained prior to the removal or resiting of an existing dwelling.
