- Replace the existing dilapidated tin shed on the Southern side with a rendered brick garage and a hip end roof line that is more sympathetic to the existing dwelling. Extend the living area on the Northern side to the front wall of the original house. This extension would mirror the garage roofline. The bull nosed veranda would also be extended across the front of the proposed living room extension.2 SULTANA POINT RD EDITHBURGH SA 5583Decision Made
