     Slope
     slope means:-
     (a)   for the purpose of reconfiguring a lot:-
           (i)    where the proposed lot is contained wholly within a single slope category shown on a slope analysis, the slope of that
                  category; or
           (ii)   where a proposed lot is contained within more than one slope category shown on a slope-analysis, the predominant
                  slope of the use area, as follows:-
                  (A)    where the house site area or use area is contained within one slope category shown on a slope analysis, the
                         slope of that category; or
                  (B)    where the house site area or use area is contained within more than one slope category shown on a slope
                         analysis, the slope is the average of all predominant slopes of the house site area or use area.

     (b)   For the purposes of building works or material change of use, the slope of the building footprint or use area is that
           determined as follows—
           (i)    where the building footprint or use area has one predominant slope, that slope;
           (ii)   where the building footprint or use area has more than one predominant slope, the average of all predominant slopes,
                  provided that—
                  (A)    the slope shall be determined to the nearest whole number; and
                  (B)    where there is any question about the determination of slope, the slope shall be as determined by the
                         Assessment Manager.


     Slope-analysis
     slope-analysis means, for the purpose of reconfiguring a lot, a diagram prepared by a cadastral surveyor indicating the slope of the
     site based on one metre contour intervals using the following slope categories—
            0-10% slope
            >10-15% slope
            >15-20% slope
            >20-25% slope
            >25-33% slope, etc

     Sloping sites
     sloping sites means sites or parts of sites that exceed a gradient of 1 in 5 or 20% and includes steep slopes.

     Small dwellings
     small dwellings means a dwelling that has no more than 90m100m² of gross floor area.

     Soft landscaping
     soft landscaping means trees, shrubs, grass, garden beds and impervious surfaces that occur naturally such as rock outcrops.
     Soft landscaping is not located on top of a constructed slab or other structure and is capable of supporting the establishment and
     growth of canopy trees as well as other species. The term does not include swimming pools or impervious surfaces such as
     driveways, vehicular access lanes, vehicle parking and manoeuvring areas, pathways, stormwater structures, tennis courts, decks,
     balconies, roof terraces and the like. It also does not include areas over which balconies cantilever unless there is a vertical height
     of 4 metres between the ground and the balcony to allow for significant planting.

     State heritage place
     state heritage place means a place identified on the Queensland Heritage Register under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992.

     Steep land
     steep land means land comprising slopes of 15% or greater.
