b) retains existing vegetation and other natural features for their ecological, aesthetic and cultural values;
c) ensures the revegetation and rehabilitation of native wildlife habitat and riparian zones to protect and
enhance ecological and biodiversity values;
d) facilitates water management including on-site detention and the efficient infiltration of stormwater;
e) enables the establishment of appropriate plantings that are of a scale and density commensurate with
building height, bulk and scale to buffer development and conflicting land uses;
f) enhances privacy between dwelling units and accommodation units;
g) accommodates the outdoor recreation needs of dwelling occupants; and
h) provides adequate vegetation treatment to steep slopes and unstable landforms.
