    Gavin Hi.

    Yes the average would still have to be met corresponding to the lot's R
    coding. This is important as the 6m average only applies to lots coded
    R15-R25.

    I can see how you read that, are you still ensuring that a 6 metre front
    average is being met with the carport at a nil setback as suggested by
    A1(i)?

    >>> Patrick.Gersch@joondalup.wa.gov.au 22/01/03 12:55 >>>
    Clause 3.2.1 A1 clearly outlines that this averaging applies only for
    buildings other than carports/garages.

    Figure 1 (page 113) seems to indicate that they can come into the setback
    line, as an incursion.

    Clause 3.2.3 seems a bit contradictory. A3.1 outlines that garages/carports
    are to be located behind the street setback line. However, clause A3.4 then
    outlines that carports can be within the street setback area.

    At Joondalup we have interpreted this to enable carports right up to the
    front boundary, as per Terry's previous email. Although I do not agree with
    this from a streetscape perspective, it may be an oversight that would
    require further clarification.

    Yes, I agree it does allow a carport within the street setback area (Ie the
    minimum primary street setback specified in Table 1 column 8, but may only
    be reduced to a maximum of 50% based on 3.2.1 A1. which setouts the general
    setback requirements for "buildings" to a street which includes carports.
    Of course you can vary this again based on the performance clause of P1 and
    P3

    Gavin Worth

    >>> Sandy_Hansen@kalbould.wa.gov.au 22/01/03 12:03 >>>

    In relation to carports Clause A3.4 allow carports within the street
    setback provided that the width of carport does not exceed 50 percent of
    the frontage at the building line and the construction allows an
    unobstructed view between the dwelling and street, right of way or
    equivalent. Therefore this clause allows carports within the street
    setback (as outlined in Table 1) to be considered as acceptable
    development?

    Does any one else agree?

    Thanks

    Subject: RE: Carports

    Carports are buildings and are therefore required to be set back in
    accordance with Table 2 under 3.3.1. Carports cannot be built on the
    boundary under 3.3.2 by right as this provision only relates to certain
    codings for development behind the setback line.

    Carports are permitted to abut a boundary also they are permitted to be
    located within the "street set back area", even up to the front boundary
    providing that the correct manoeuvring space is achieved. Does this mean
    that a carport can be built within the front setback up to the side
    boundary
    and also abutting the front boundary?
