QuestionView source ↗
When the Minister recently approved the amendment of the Subiaco Redevelopment Scheme to allow for the Australian Fine China precinct, he specifically set absolute height limits of five and six storeys for seven of the eight super lots. Why was this not done for Lot 207 which is on Darbon Crescent and across the road from two-storey houses?

The building heights for Lot 207, as prescribed within the Australian Fine China Design Guidelines provide specific restrictions on the height of future developments. Through the use of illustrated building envelopes and associated text, the controls for this site nominate maximum height limits that vary between three storeys and five storeys. The variation in height limits is designed to provide a transition in height from the central public open space within AFC down to an appropriate integration with the existing townhouses in Darbon Crescent. This is achieved with a three storey limit along Darbon Cresent and the five storey section being set back 15 metres to reduce the impact on Darbon Crescent.
Given Lot 207 has a direct interface with the existing Darbon Crescent homes, as opposed to Lot 204 that will be separated by new townhouses for example, it was considered more appropriate to control this development by way of the detailed and specific requirements of the Design Guidelines rather than the more generic provisions of the Redevelopment Scheme.
