5.0          Reconfiguring a Lot

5.1          Development Details

             This application seeks approval for a Development Permit for Reconfiguration of
             Lots by Boundary Realignment (3 Lots into 3 Lots), involving land described as Lots
             480 and 481 on MCH524 & Lot 528 on MCH1930, situated at Happy Jack Creek
             Road, Ridgewood Qld 4563.


             The subject site comprises an area of 199.2ha and is located within the Rural Zone
             of the Mary River Catchment Area. A Plan of Development has been prepared by
             Murray & Associates (Qld) Pty Ltd and is included within Appendix C of this report,
             which demonstrates the proposed boundary realignment. The current size and
             formation of Lot 528 on MCH1930 is not appropriate for its intended use as a rural
             allotment. Furthermore, the farming operations on Lot 481 on MCH524 currently
             encroach into Lot 528 on MCH1930 and notably the cattle yards. The purpose of the
             proposal is to reposition the existing lot boundaries to better reflect how the land is
             currently used and managed and to create a more appropriate lot size and
             configuration for Lot 528 now proposed Lot 2.


5.1.1        Lot Sizes


             The subject site comprises a combined area of 199.2ha and following approval of
             the proposed boundary realignment, the following areas will apply for each newly
             created allotment: -


                       Proposed Lot 1 – 96.68ha
                       Proposed Lot 2 – 8.351ha
                       Proposed Lot 3 – 94.13ha


5.1.2        Access and Services


             The access and servicing arrangements associated with each lot, as detailed
             above under Section 4.1.7 of this report, will utilise the existing road network and
             services available to the subject site.
