« Clearing as a result of the MCU; and
+ Clearing as a result of the RaL.

Clearing as a result of the MCU includes:
¢ clearing of assessable vegetation that will result from the change in use,
consisting of any of the following
- Clearing for infrastructure—including buildings, stormwater management
systems, water supply and sewerage systems—that are proposed as part
_ Of the MCU application
— clearing for roads, vehicle parking, vehicle and pedestrian access, utilities
corridors, services, fences, firebreaks and fire management lines that are
proposed as part of the MCU application
- Clearing that may not be necessary for developing infrastructure but is
associated with the use applied for.
And
¢ clearing of assessable vegetation that will become exempt if the development
application is approved. This includes any of the following examples
— clearing for routine management and essential management purposes
associated with the approved development including clearing to maintain
proposed infrastructure, facilities, roads, access routes, utilities, services
and fences, and clearing to maintain the safety of persons and property
that will be associated with the development
— clearing for necessary fire breaks and fire management lines associated
with the development. This will be assessed as follows
i. all built infrastructure other than underground services, roads and
fences will be assessed as requiring clearing for firebreaks with a
width of 1.5 times the height of the tallest vegetation adjacent to the
infrastructure, or 20m, whichever is the greater. However, evidence
may be provided to NRW that confirms that an alternative firebreak
width is required that is consistent with the State Planning Policy
(SPP) 1/03 Guideline
ii- all proposed allotment boundaries will be assessed as requiring
clearing for fire management lines with a width of 10m constructed
on either side of the allotment boundary, unless NRW is provided
with evidence that confirms that an alternative width of fire
management line is required or an alternative configuration of fire
management lines are required that is consistent with the SPP 1/03
Guideline
iii, in the case of evidence being presented that demonstrates
alternative fire management guidelines as being sufficient and
consistent with the SPP 1/03, NRW may condition the development
so that the full extent of exempt clearing prescribed for essential
management under Schedule 8 of the IPA cannot be carried out by
current or future landholders
- where there is a concurrent application for Reconfiguring of a Lot (RaL)
for the same land that has not yet been decided—clearing as a result of
the RaL as set out in the RaL Policy item 2 will be assessed,
