63A Rear building setback

In localities where a rear building setback applies, the objectives of the rear building setback controls are—

• to create a sense of openness in rear yards, and

• to preserve the amenity of adjacent land, and

• to maintain the visual continuity and pattern of buildings, rear gardens and landscape elements, and

• to provide opportunities to maintain privacy between dwellings, and

• in medium density areas, to minimise the visual effect of podiums and to control the density of development, and

• to provide opportunities for the planting of substantial native trees.
