Subdivision Report v1 7sept · RAL22/0021

4.1.3 Footpath

There is no footpath along the northern side of Picture Point Cres Street in this location and the Local
Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) does not identify this side of the street as part of the pathway
trunk network. The applicant does not propose to construct a footpath along the frontage.

4.1.4 Driveway

Standard driveways would be provided as part of future development occurring on the new lots. Their
location and design is subject to future development to occur on the lots.

4.1.5 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code

Performance Outcome 2 of the Biodiversity, waterways and wetlands overlay code requires that new
lots are only created where ecological linkages are maintained and clearing of vegetation is
minimized. The lower portion of the lot has previously been cleared for asset protection purposes
and to allow for the maintenance of existing buildings and infrastructure.

The proposed subdivision therefore does not further make vulnerable ecological linkages or result
in further vegetation clearing beyond which has been lawfully undertaken in accordance with the
Vegetation Management Framework. Notwithstanding this, the applicant is open to discussions for
some rehabilitation and would consider replanting of appropriate native species.

4.1.6 Bushfire Hazard Area Overlay

The site is located within a Medium Bushfire Hazard Area. The Bushfire Hazard Area Overlay Code
requires development maintains the safety of people and property from the adverse impacts of
bushfire.

The proposed subdivision to create one additional lot would not comprise the safety of people and
property given the site is well connected to road network and hazardous vegetation has been
removed as part of property maintenance activities for the existing house. A water connection is also
provided to the site which is available for firefighting purposes.
