The site. 695.5 m² zoned R2 Low Density Residential under the Sutherland Shire LEP 2015, carrying a 142.4 m² dwelling that came down. On a lot between 600 m² and 740 m² the Housing Code allows 335 m² of gross floor area, and that single figure decides how much house the block can hold — everything else on the cover sheet has room to move.

Rendered ground floor, clad upper level, tiled hip roof with wide eaves, privacy screens where the first floor looks sideways. Gross floor area lands at 334.98 m² against the 335 m² cap — an FSR of 0.48:1 — with landscaped area at 40.24% (279.9 m²) against a 30% minimum and 73.07 m² of deep soil inside the front setback where 30.48 m² is required.
