At Warrandyte Road, a simple storage need became a 375 sqm custom shed blending practicality, craftsmanship, and planning precision. Every detail, from siting to materials, was carefully considered to meet the client’s needs while respecting the low-density, landscape-sensitive setting.
Located in the LDRZ and subject to DDO4 and SLO1, the shed was positioned to avoid all Tree Protection Zones, maintain visual harmony, and preserve the site’s semi-rural character. The design uses recycled brick, monument colorbond, and antique detailing for a refined, recessive presence.
💡 Planning Highlights
This approval resulted from a strategic, collaborative process balancing functional needs with environmental and visual sensitivities:
• ✅ In-house architectural drawings and town planning report
• ✅ Arboricultural assessment by Daniel Tigges from TMC Reports, ensuring full TPZ protection
• ✅ Council negotiations to retain full shed footprint after an initial request to reduce it
• ✅ Design refinement addressing DDO4, with appropriate setbacks, subdued materials, and visual balance
🌿 Why This Approval Matters
• 🌱 Environmentally considerate – all vegetation retained and TPZs protected
• 🏡 Character-responsive – materials complement the residence and local context
• 📏 Functional yet restrained – generous internal layout without overdevelopment
• ✅ Policy-aligned – fully compliant with LDRZ, DDO4, SLO1
