Density
O6 The density of development within the
site area—
a) is compatible with surrounding
development; and
b) does not exceed—

i. For the Semi-attached Housing
Zone-1 dwelling unit per 400m? of
site area with a maximum
population density of 100 persons
per hectare;

ii. For the Attached Housing Zone—

persons per hectare; and

iii. For the Business Centre Zone—

A. for sites less than
1000m? -1 dwelling unit
per non-residential use;

population density of 160
persons per hectare; and

c) hasa low site impact to enhance the
opportunity to maintain natural site
characteristics such as native vegetation
and natural landforms.

The proposed development has a low site
impact and is compatible to the surrounding
residential development.

The density of the development is a dwelling
per 506m?.

A population density of 100 persons per
hectare equates to a possible population of
10.1 people; however the proposal includes
a population density of 6.6 people.

07 Buildings and other structures—

a) are low rise and present a building
height consistent with structures on
adjoining and surrounding premises;

b) have a maximum building height of 2
storeys;

c) donot visually dominate the street,
surrounding spaces or the existing

skyline;

d) preserve the amenity of surrounding land
uses;

e) respect the scale of existing vegetation;
