No disturbance of vegetation within Riparian Buffer
Areas will occur as part of this development
proposal.

Part of the development area has been mapped as
Environmental Protection under the Biodiversity
Overlay; however an ecological assessment of the
site has shown that the vegetation communities that
occur are well represented across the subject site. It
is unlikely that removal of vegetation from the
proposed development footprint will result in any
significant impacts on fauna species that occur
throughout similar habitat within the site and in the
wider locality. Much of this vegetation type will
remain in the southern area of the site following
development, and this area will continue to function
as a “stepping stone“ of habitat for mobile species
such as birds and bats.

 

O2 Interference with vegetation on land committed for
development, only occurs where that part of the land to be
cleared is to-

a) accommodate a house site area and any necessary effivent
disposal system, where no other suitable cleared or partially
cleared area is available on the premises;

b) provide for reasonable and necessary access to a building or
structure; or

¢) provide for the reasonable and necessary control of fire risk to
a building or structure.

$2.1 Where interference with vegetation is for the
purpose of constructing a Detached house, Type
1 Relative or Employee use, or Ancillary
dwelling unit-

a) the interference with vegetation only occurs
where there are no other suitable cleared or
partially cleared areas on the premises available for
the location of a house site area due to constraints
on the property including its location within or
partially within an area-

i. identified on another overlay map; or
ii. subject to steep slopes; or

 

As the development area is less than 10ha in total,
and is mapped as a Medium Bushfire Hazard Area,
the detailed building layout will be designed so that
interference with vegetation will not extend beyond
10m of a building or structure where the
interference is reasonably necessary for access to the
building or structure or a distance equal to 1.5 times
the predominant mature canopy tree height,
whichever is the greater (in accordance with
Australian Standard AS3959).
