Section 5.9 Categories of Development and Assessment - Overlays

The site is affected by the following Overlays:
+    Biodiversity, Waterway and Wetlands Overlay
+    Bushfire Hazard
+    Flood Hazard
+    Landslide Hazard
The proposal will not trigger assessment against any of the overlay codes except for the Biodiversity,
Waterway and Wetlands Overlay as it will involve clearing vegetation identified as an area of biodiversity
significance on the overlay map.
