Residential Renovation

263 Dorset Road, Croydon, VIC 3136

Maroondah City Council

The Planning application seeks approval for the construction of a fence along Dorset Street, standing at a height of 1.8 m, which exceeds the required height under clause 54.06-2 by 0.6 m. Additionally, there is a proposal to erect a 1.8 m fence along Beryl Street, surpassing the required height by 0.9 m. The existing weatherboard dwelling, positioned above the stump and 0.9 m from the property boundary, presents privacy and safety concerns for the owner, particularly in relation to potential accidents involving children crossing the road. The height variation is deemed acceptable to address these safety issues on the property. Notably, the site is situated within a heritage overlay, and the chosen color for the fence is carefully matched with the existing weatherboard dwelling, ensuring visual harmony without causing any negative impact on the surrounding area. This comprehensive proposal considers both safety concerns and heritage aesthetics in seeking approval for the fence construction.
