5.3.3 RECONFIGURING A LOT CODE

The proposed development involves the realignment of the common boundary between two existing residential
lots. No additional lots are proposed, and both properties will retain their existing dwelling houses, vehicular
access arrangements and established residential uses.

The proposed lot areas of 702m² and 1,012m² exceed the minimum lot size of 600m² applicable to the Low
Density Residential Zone.

The proposal does not involve additional residential development, new roads, vegetation clearing or earthworks.
The existing residential character and amenity of the locality will be maintained.

Both lots will retain their existing vehicular accesses and stormwater discharge arrangements. Existing water
supply and sewerage infrastructure will be considered during the assessment process, with Council liaising with
Unitywater to determine any necessary servicing requirements.

Given the limited nature of the proposal, the assessment focuses on PO26, which specifically addresses the
rearrangement of existing lot boundaries.

PO26 – Rearrangement of Lot Boundaries

PO26 requires that the rearrangement of lot boundaries represents an improvement on the existing situation.

The proposed boundary realignment seeks to formalise the established occupation and use of the two properties.
The current owner purchased both properties approximately 15 years ago and subsequently relocated the
dividing fence to provide additional land to Proposed Lot 47.

The proposed realignment will align the cadastral boundary with this long-established physical arrangement,
removing the discrepancy between the existing legal boundary and the established occupation of the properties.

Although the proposal reduces the area of Proposed Lot 46, both resulting lots will remain above the minimum lot
size of 600m² and retain their existing dwelling houses, independent vehicular accesses and established
residential uses.

The proposed realignment will not result in additional development or alter the established residential character
of the locality.

The proposal therefore represents an improvement on the existing situation by formalising the long-established
occupation of the properties while maintaining appropriately sized and functional residential lots.

Accordingly, the proposal satisfies PO26 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code.
