RAL22/0028 APPLICATION FOR RECONFIGURING A LOT (1 INTO 2 LOTS) AT 1 POINCIANA AVENUE, TEWANTIN (Referred from P&E 9 May 2023) · ATTACHMENT 1 - RAL22 0028 - ACTING MANAGER DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT REPORT

3.3.2 Reconfiguring a Lot Code
The Reconfiguring a Lot Code includes a number of outcomes that are relevant to the proposal
and are designed to ensure new lots are appropriate for their intended use, result in a high standard
of amenity, respond to constraints and provide safe vehicle access. These are set out below for
Council’s reference:
(a)   Development provides for lots that are of a size and have dimensions that are appropriate
      for their intended use and are consistent with the sizes of surrounding lots.
(e)   Development provides for subdivisions that result in the creation of safe and healthy
      communities by:
      (ii)    ensuring lots have a suitable and safe means of access to a public road;
PO5
New lots have areas and dimensions that:
   a) are consistent with the purpose and overall outcomes of the applicable zone or zones;
   b) are consistent with the size and character of surrounding lots;
   c) can accommodate land uses that are consistent with the purpose and overall outcomes of
       the applicable zone;
   d) allow for siting and construction of buildings, structures, access ways and car parking
       while:-
           i.    retaining ecologically important areas and ecological linkages;
          ii.    minimising risk of soil erosion, landslide, flooding and bushfire;
         iii.    minimising earthworks or retaining walls associated with construction on sloping
                 sites;
         iv.     retaining the scenic amenity and vegetated character of the landscape;
          v.     retaining culturally significant features and protecting views to culturally significant
                 features;
         vi.     minimising detrimental impacts of effluent disposal or storm water runoff; including
                 open space for landscaping; ensuring safe vehicular manoeuvring areas without
                 concentration of driveways in one space; and
        vii.     where not in a water or sewerage service area, allow for water storage tanks and
                 suitable effluent disposal.
   e) except where otherwise specified in a local area code, comply with the minimum lot size
       specified in Table 9.5.1.4 Minimum Lot Size and Dimensions.
PO6
Development provides for irregular shaped lots to be created only where:
        a) the creation of regular lots is impractical such as at a curve in the road or because of
              topographical constraints;
        b) safe access and visual exposure to and from the site can be provided, while not
              adversely impacting on the functionality of the surrounding road network;
        c) it is desirable to avoid clearing of vegetation and the fragmentation of habitat in
              ecologically important areas; and
        d) the irregular lot is demonstrably suitable for its intended purpose.
PO13
Each lot is provided with safe and convenient vehicle access.
PO20
Residential lots less than 600m2:
        a) occur only where they are consistent with the size of established adjacent lots;
        b) are not less than 500m2 in area;
        c) are free of physical constraints or encumbrances that would restrict the siting of a
              house;
        d) have area and dimensions that can accommodate an appropriate house site
              area without siting variations;
        e) are distributed across a development to create diversity in lots; and
        f) do not result in excessive driveways at intersections or corners.
