 9.5.1 Reconfiguring a Lot Code

     Application
     (1)   This code applies to assessable development identified as requiring assessment against the Reconfiguring a lot code by
           the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).
     (2)   All provisions in this code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development



     Purpose and overall outcomes
     (1)   The purpose of the Reconfiguring a lot code is to ensure that development:
           (a)    results in lots that are appropriate for their intended use;
           (b)    contributes to a high standard of amenity;
           (c)    results in lots that are consistent with the desired character of the local area ensuring high quality urban design
                  outcomes;
           (d)    is responsive to site constraints;
           (e)    maintains or improves environmental values and avoids adverse off-site environmental impacts;
           (f)    provides lawful, safe and practical access arrangements; and
           (g)    provides infrastructure and services to new lots.

     (2)   The overall outcomes sought for the Reconfiguring a lot code are:
           (a)    Development provides for lots that are of a size and have dimensions that are appropriate for their intended use and
                  are consistent with the sizes of surrounding lots.
           (b)    Development provides for lots which are responsive to local character and site constraints such that the natural
                  landform is not modified.
           (c)    Development avoids significant adverse effects on the natural environment and landscape including waterways,
                  drainage lines, wetlands and other ecologically important areas.
           (d)    Provides for a diverse mix of residential lot sizes and configurations to cater for different housing options.
           (e)    Development provides for subdivisions that result in the creation of safe and healthy communities by:
                  (i)      avoiding or mitigating the risk to people and property from natural hazards;
                  (ii)     ensuring lots have a suitable and safe means of access to a public road;
                  (iii)    incorporating a road and transport network that is responsive to, and integrated with, the natural topography of
                           the site, is integrated with existing or planned adjoining development and supports the circulation of public
                           transport;
                  (iv)     promoting walking, cycling and the use of public transport;
                  (v)      promoting social interaction and community activity;
                  (vi)     incorporating a lot layout that is responsive to natural climatic influences and allows for new buildings to reflect
                           the principles of sub-tropical and sustainable design;
                  (vii)    providing appropriate infrastructure, including reticulated water and sewerage (where available), sealed roads,
                           pedestrian and bicycle paths, urban and non-urban open space and community facilities in urban areas;
                  (viii)   offering residential choice, diversity and mix to meet the diverse demographic, social, cultural, economic and
                           lifestyle needs of the community; and
                  (ix)     ensuring that new lots outside the Urban boundaries have good levels of convenience and accessibility to urban
                           services and do not compromise the ongoing productive use of rural lands.
