•     Given the existing land use pattern of dwelling houses on the northern side of Picture Point
      Crescent with shapes and sizes ranging from 765m2 – 995m2 - The proposed subdivision
      creates lots that are consistent with the predominant land use, size and character of
      surrounding lots.
•     The proposed lot shapes and frontages are consistent with the purpose and overall outcomes
      of the High-Density Residential Zone Code as the proposed lot size and shape still allows for



                                                                                                Page 163 of 310
