An assessment of the overall outcomes of the Low Density Residential Zone are provided below.

     (a) Low density residential neighbourhoods are home to permanent residents with minimal impact of visitors.
     (b) The character of low-density residential neighbourhoods varies due to factors such as proximity to centres,
         topography, lot sizes, the established vegetated character, the age of development and open space
         provision.
     (c) The distinct look and feel of existing residential neighbourhoods is retained, and development makes a
         positive contribution to the streetscape, maintaining the low density and low scale character.
     (d) Predominantly detached housing on a range of lot sizes meet the needs of different households.
     (e) Secondary dwellings, community residences and rooming accommodation are integrated with the low
         density residential built form and increase housing choice.
     (f) Outside of the urban boundaries, development is generally limited to a dwelling house on larger lots with
         limited levels of services and accessibility.
     (g) Development caters for both the current and projected demographic and socio-economic profile of the area,
         including one and two-person households, households on low to moderate incomes and residents with
         reduced mobility.
     (h) Home-based businesses provide for domestic workplaces and home-hosted guest accommodation of a
         scale and intensity compatible with the low density residential character and amenity of the locality.
     (i) Visitor accommodation is limited to forms where guests stay within the home of their resident host.
     (j) Development maintains a high level of residential amenity having regard to traffic, noise, dust, odour, lighting
         and other locally specific impacts.
     (k) Development provides for an efficient pattern of land use and infrastructure that creates walk-able and legible
         residential neighbourhoods that integrate with active transport networks and are well connected to activity
