Housing density
The maximum housing density is 1 dwelling per 450m2 of site area.
To measure housing density—
• the site area (which does not include the area of any access corridor, whether such access corridor is to be created or is in existence at the time of application for development consent) is divided by the number of dwellings proposed on the site, including any existing dwellings which are to be retained,
• the site is the allotment which existed on the day this plan came into effect,
• granny flats are not considered to be a dwelling and are limited to one per allotment.
In calculating housing density, the area of any access corridor (including any right-of-carriageway, access handle, accessway or other area that provides for vehicle access) is to be excluded, whether that access corridor is to be created or is in existence at the time of application for subdivision.
This control does not apply—
(a) where this standard would prevent an existing allotment accommodating one dwelling, or
(b) for housing for older people or people with disabilities, where the site area per dwelling may be reduced provided the buildings are sited and designed and landscaping is used to ensure the development relates favourably to the pattern, scale and landscape character of the street and surrounding development and the development conforms with the minimum standards set out in clause 29.
Building height
Buildings are not to exceed 8.5 metres in height, where height is the distance measured vertically between the topmost point of the building (not being a vent or chimney or the like) and the natural ground level below.
Buildings are not to exceed 7.2 metres from natural ground level to the underside of the ceiling on the uppermost floor of the building (excluding habitable areas located wholly within a roof space).
Front building setback
Development is to maintain a minimum front building setback.
The minimum front building setback is 6.5 metres.
The front building setback area is to be landscaped and generally free of any structures, carparking or site facilities other than driveways, letterboxes and fences.
Consent may be granted for development to be carried out within the minimum front building setback—
• on corner blocks or blocks with double street frontage the front building setback may be reduced to a minimum of 3.5 metres for the secondary frontage, but secondary street setback variations must consider the character of the secondary street and the predominant setbacks existing to that street, or
• on allotments constrained by the location and use of existing buildings or the topography, if it is for the provision of carparking.
Rear building setback
The minimum rear building setback is 6 metres.
The minimum rear setback from boundaries adjoining Manly Lagoon is 15 metres.
The rear building setback area is to be landscaped and free of any structures.
To measure the rear building setback—
• The rear building setback is the distance measured perpendicular to the boundary furthest from a public street or a boundary which adjoins Manly Lagoon up to any structure on the allotment.
The rear building setback does not apply to corner allotments other than those which adjoin Manly Lagoon.
The rear building setback may be encroached by—
• exempt development, swimming pools and outbuildings which, in total, do not exceed 50 per cent of the rear setback area,
• exempt development only on allotments which adjoin Manly Lagoon.
Side boundary envelope and side setback
Buildings must be sited within an envelope determined by projecting planes at 45 degrees from a height of 4 metres above natural ground level at the side boundaries.
The minimum setback from a building to a side boundary is 0.9 metre.
To measure the side boundary envelope and side setback—
• on corner allotments the side boundaries are taken to be the boundaries that do not have frontage to a public street.
Fascias, gutters, downpipes, eaves up to 0.675 metre from the boundary, masonry chimneys, flues, pipes, or other services infrastructure may encroach beyond the side boundary envelope.
Screens or sunblinds, light fittings, electricity or gas meters, or other services infrastructure and structures not more than 1 metre above natural ground level such as unroofed terraces, balconies, landings, steps or ramps may encroach beyond the minimum side setback.
Consent may be granted for development that, to a minor extent, does not comply with—

• the side setback, to allow a single storey outbuilding, carport, pergola or the like.
Landscaped open space
The minimum area of landscaped open space is 40 per cent of the site area.
To measure an area of landscaped open space—
• impervious surfaces such as driveways, paved areas, roofed areas, tennis courts, car parking and stormwater structures, decks and the like and any area with a width or length of less than 2 metres are excluded from the landscaped open space area,
• the water surface of swimming pools and impervious surfaces which occur naturally such as rock outcrops are included in the landscaped open space area,
• landscaped open space must be at ground level,
• the minimum soil depth of land that can be landscaped open space is 1 metre.

LOCALITY G3 MANLY LAGOON SUBURBS
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
The Manly Lagoon Suburbs locality will remain characterised by detached style housing with a pocket of apartment style housing in landscaped settings interspersed by a range of complementary and compatible uses. The development of further apartment style housing will be confined to the “medium density areas” shown on the map. Substantial regional parklands and bushland will remain significant elements of the locality.
Future development will maintain the visual pattern and predominant scale of existing detached style housing in the locality except in areas marked as “medium density areas” on the map. The street will be characterised by landscaped front gardens and consistent building setbacks. Unless exemptions are made to the housing density standard in this locality statement, any subdivision of land is to be consistent with the predominant pattern, size and configuration of existing allotments in the locality.
The relationship of the locality with the surrounding bushland will be reinforced by protecting and enhancing the spread of indigenous tree canopy and preserving remnants of the natural landscape such as rock outcrops, bushland and natural watercourses. The use of materials that blend with the colours and textures of the natural landscape will be encouraged. Development on hillsides, or in the vicinity of ridgetops, will integrate with the natural landscape and topography.
The locality will continue to be served by the existing local retail centres in the areas shown on the map. Future development in these centres will be in accordance with the general principles of development control provided in clause 39.

LOCALITY G7 INNES ROAD
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
The Innes Road locality will remain characterised by a mix of detached style housing and apartment style housing in landscaped settings interspersed by a range of complementary and compatible uses. The development of further apartment buildings within the locality will be confined to the “medium density areas” shown on the map.
Future development will maintain the visual pattern and predominant scale of existing detached style housing in the locality except in the areas marked as “medium density areas” on the map. In these medium density areas the scale of development is to relate favourably to existing apartment style housing in the area. The streets will be characterised by landscaped front gardens and consistent front building setbacks. The spread of indigenous tree canopy will be protected and enhanced throughout the locality. Unless exemptions are made to the housing density standard in this locality statement, any subdivision of land is to be consistent with the predominant pattern, size and configuration of existing allotments in the locality.

Housing density
The maximum housing density is 1 dwelling per 600m2 of site area.
To measure housing density—
• the site area (which does not include the area of any access corridor, whether such access corridor is to be created or is in existence at the time of application for development consent) is divided by the number of dwellings proposed on the site, including any existing dwellings which are to be retained,
• the site is the allotment which existed on the day this plan came into effect,
• granny flats are not considered to be a dwelling and are limited to one per allotment.
In calculating housing density, the area of any access corridor (including any right-of-carriageway, access handle, accessway or other area that provides for vehicle access) is to be excluded, whether that access corridor is to be created or is in existence at the time of application for subdivision.
This control does not apply—
(a) where this standard would prevent an existing allotment accommodating one dwelling,
(b) (Repealed)
(c) for housing for older people or people with disabilities, where the site area per dwelling may be reduced provided the buildings are sited and designed and landscaping is used to ensure the development relates favourably to the pattern, scale and landscape character of the street and surrounding development and the development conforms with the minimum standards set out in clause 29,
(d) within the “medium density areas” shown on the map, where the housing density will be determined by the way the design responds to the general principles of development control, the desired future character of the locality and the other built form controls.
Building height
Except within the areas shown as “medium density areas” on the map—
• buildings are not to exceed 8.5 metres in height, where height is the distance measured vertically between the topmost point of the building (not being a vent or chimney or the like) and the natural ground level below, and
• buildings are not to exceed 7.2 metres from natural ground level to the underside of the ceiling on the uppermost floor of the building (excluding habitable areas located wholly within a roof space), but this standard may be relaxed on sites with slopes greater than 20 per cent within the building platform (measured at the base of the walls of the building), provided the building does not exceed the 8.5 metre height standard, is designed and located to minimise the bulk of the building and has minimal visual impact when viewed from the downslope sides of the land.
Within the medium density areas, buildings are neither to exceed 3 storeys nor 11 metres.
Buildings must comply with both the maximum height measured in storeys and the maximum height measured in metres.
To measure the height of a building—

LOCALITY G8 QUEENSCLIFF
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
The Queenscliff locality will remain characterised by a mix of detached style housing and apartment style housing in landscaped settings interspersed by complementary and compatible uses. The development of new apartment style housing will be restricted to the medium density areas shown on the map.
The quality of existing development in the Queenscliff locality is inconsistent and suffers as a result of poorly designed buildings which failed to respond to the prominence and natural qualities of this coastal headland and its relationship to the surrounding public spaces including nearby beaches and the parklands surrounding Manly Lagoon. Future development will be of an improved standard of design that addresses public streets and spaces, integrates with the landscape and topography, including rock outcrops and remnant bushland, and complements long distance views of the locality. Unless exemptions are made to the housing density standard in this locality statement, any subdivision of land is to be consistent with the predominant pattern, size and configuration of existing allotments in the locality.
The opportunities for further development in Queenscliff will be limited.
The land bound by Queenscliff Road, Pittwater Road and the public accessway which links Queenscliff Road, may be developed for apartment style housing. Development on this land will be designed to minimise view loss from residences to the north and will maintain a view corridor through the site to Manly Lagoon. Development will present as two storeys when viewed from the section of Queenscliff Road shown in Diagram 8.1 available from the office of the Council, with any storey above being set back and providing the absolute height for the site. The bulk of the buildings will be reduced through stepping the building down the site and avoiding long continuous top floors. It is intended that vehicle access to Queenscliff Road will be shared with 166 Queenscliff Road and 366 Pittwater Road.
The locality will continue to be served by the existing local retail centre shown on the map. Future development in this centre will be in accordance with the general principles of development control provided in clause 39.

LOCALITY G11 AQUATIC DRIVE
DESIRED FUTURE CHARACTER
The Aquatic Drive locality will be characterised by a mix of bushland and a variety of low intensity uses to protect the sensitive nature of the locality. The land shown cross-hatched on the map contains areas of threatened species and vegetation communities and is to remain undisturbed and undeveloped unless it can be demonstrated that the development will have no impact on these species and communities.
The locality has two distinct components. The eastern side is characterised by various buildings and associated carparking areas interspersed by landscaping and occasional remnant bushland. Future development here is to be sited and designed to ensure impacts, upon the residential locality to the east, are minimised and managed. The western side of the locality is dominated by remnant bushland interspersed by occasional development.
The relationship of development in the entire locality with bushland both outside and within the locality will be reinforced by protecting and enhancing the spread of indigenous tree canopy and preserving the natural landscape, including rock outcrops and remnant bushland. New landscaping works are to comprise predominantly endemic species. Development is to be designed and sited to ensure that long distance views of the locality are not dominated by the built form. The textures, colours and design of new development is to also complement the existing bushland both within and outside the locality.
Development is not to compromise the viability of threatened or potentially threatened species, populations or habitats within the locality. Potential “edge effects” of development on these species, communities, populations and/or habitats are to be minimised and managed.
Existing creeks and natural watercourses are to remain undeveloped and are to include a riparian buffer zone comprising appropriate vegetation.
Development is to include measures to minimise the potential impacts upon the water quality of Manly Dam.

BUILT FORM
Housing density
The maximum housing density is one dwelling per allotment on the site commonly referred to as the “Ardel” site (approved subdivision of Lot 2854 DP 822350, Land and Environment Court proceeding No 10427 of 1997 and Nos 10739, 10740, 10741 of 1999).
Granny flats area not considered to be a dwelling and are limited to one per allotment.
Building height
Buildings are not to exceed 8.5 metres in height, where height is the distance measured vertically between the topmost point of the building (not being a vent or chimney or the like) and the natural ground level below.
Buildings are not to exceed 7.2 metres from natural ground level to the underside of the ceiling on the uppermost floor of the building (excluding habitable areas located wholly within a roof space), but this standard may be relaxed on sites with slopes greater than 20 per cent within the building platform (measured at the base of the walls of the building), provided the building does not exceed the 8.5 metre height standard, is designed and located to minimise the bulk of the building and has minimal visual impact when viewed from the downslope sides of the land.
Front building setback
Development is to maintain a minimum front setback of 10 metres to any public street, except on allotments with a site area less than 735m2 where setbacks are to be compatible with surrounding development.
The minimum front building setback area is to be landscaped and generally free of any structures, carparking or site facilities other than driveways, letterboxes and fences.
Side boundary envelope
On allotments with a site area less than 735m2, buildings must be sited within an envelope determined by projecting planes at 45 degrees from a height of 4 metres above natural ground level at the side boundaries.
To measure the side boundary envelope—
• on corner allotments the side boundaries are taken to be the boundaries that do not have frontage to a public street.
Fascias, gutters, downpipes, eaves, masonry chimneys, flues, pipes, or other services infrastructure may encroach beyond the side boundary envelope.
Landscaped open space
The minimum area of landscaped open space is 50 per cent of the site area.
To measure an area of landscaped open space—
• impervious surfaces such as driveways, paved areas, roofed areas, tennis courts, car parking and stormwater structures, decks and the like and any area with a width or length of less than 2 metres are excluded from the landscaped open space area,
• the water surface of swimming pools and impervious surfaces which occur naturally such as rock outcrops are included in the landscaped open space area,
• landscaped open space must be at ground level,
• the minimum soil depth of land that can be landscaped open space is 1 metre.
