The site is mapped as being affected by the following overlays:

•         Biodiversity – Environmental Protection
•         Natural Resources - Coastal Protection Area
•         Natural Hazard –Landslide & Flooding
•         Natural Hazard – Acid Sulfate Soils

The proposed development does not require assessment against the Biodiversity Overlay as no clearing
of vegetation is proposed.

The Natural Hazards Overlay maps the site as being included in a Landslide Hazard Area. The proposal
has been reviewed against the provisions of the Overlay and is considered to comply as the applicant
intends to maintain the existing ground floor level which will preserve the existing stability of the site. The
existing deck area is also to be retained with a new structure located over to minimize disturbance to the
site.

The Natural Hazards Overlay also maps the site as being included in an Acid Sulfate Soils Area. As
detailed above the existing ground floor level is to be retained which will minimize excavation and
disturbance to the area. Appropriate conditions can however be imposed in relation to Acid Sulfate Soils.

The Natural Resources Overlay maps the site as being included in a Coastal Protection Area. A review of
the proposal against the provisions of the Overlay are detailed below:
