4.2.4 Fill
Fill extends beyond 3m around the main building and does not comply with AO21 of Low Density
Housing Code. The corresponding PO21 is provided below.


Earthworks and Drainage
PO21
Earthworks and drainage operational works do not directly, indirectly or cumulatively cause adverse
impacts external to the development site by:
   (a) causing ponding of water on the site or nearby land;
   (b) increasing flooding, which adversely affects the safety or use of any land upstream and
       downstream;
   (c) adversely affecting the flow of water in any overland flow path; and
    (d) adversely affecting the privacy or visual amenity of surrounding property.

Assessment
The proposal fully complies with PO21 for the following reasons:

•   The property is a large land holding and a significant distance from surrounding land with ample
    space to discharge and redirect stormwater to existing gullies without impacting on neighbouring
    properties;

•   Will not cause ponding on the site or nearby land as the natural slope of the land is towards the
    gullies on the land;

•   The redirected overland flow from around the dwelling will be naturally dispersed in the gullies
    as shown in Figure 8 below.
