4. Site Details

4.1.     Site Description

The subject site is located at 797 Ringtail Creek Road, Pomona described as Lot 4 on RP213871.

The site has a total area of 3.407ha and is an irregular shaped rural allotment that gains access to Ringtail
Creek Road in the north western corner of the site.

The site contains an existing shed in the middle of the site. The topography of the site generally slopes
downhill to the south eastern corner of the site.

The majority of the site, including the existing shed, is constrained by flooding inundation extents. There is a
limited area available for a future house site area outside of flood inundation extents. The area that is
available it is also mapped as core koala habitat, and locally refined koala habitat under State mapping and
is also identified to be of significance by the planning scheme.

The entire site is also constrained by bushfire hazards. A bushfire management plan has been included in
Appendix B.

Please refer to Figures 2-3 below which provide an aerial photograph of the subject site and the extent of
flood constrained land which limits the location of a future house site area.
