Development Application part 2 Planning Report MCU13/0051

Figure 8.2 demonstrates that the proposed facility has been located on the side of the
ridgeline instead of the top of the ridgeline which will minimise the visual obtrusiveness of
the facility and provide a natural backdrop (also refer to Figure 3.2 topographic location of
candidate sites). The proposed facility has also been setback against vegetation and in an
area which contains large vegetation buffers to assist with the screening of the facility as

demonstrated in Figure 8.2.




In conjunction with the natural vegetation screening and backdrop, the proposed location
also provides an adequate separation distance from residential dwellings and significant
transport routes which will assist in minimising the visual obtrusiveness of the facility as
follows:
   .   setback more than 275m from the closest residential dwelling
   .   setback over 700m from Coles Creek Road
   .   setback over 900m from Schriebers Road



Figures. 8.3 and 8.4 below indicate the current appearance of the site as viewed from
Coles Creek Road and Schreibers Road.
