Planning statement

          Agricultural Land Conservation Area.

          The associated Acceptable Outcome states:

          AO2.4

          No sensitive land use is established closer than 200 metres from land on an adjacent
          property included in the Rural zone and mapped as Agricultural Land Conservation
          Area as shown in Agricultural Land Overlap Maps in schedule 2.

          The proposed development is for the material change of use of an existing building to a
          Dwelling House on land that adjoins rural lifestyle lots that are not used for agricultural
          pursuits. The proposed development would not result in the loss or diminished
          productive capacity of the Agricultural Land Conservation Area and would not affect
          any existing agricultural operation within the vicinity of the site. The proposed
          development is considered to be consistent with the Performance Outcome.

          Performance Outcome PO8 of the Rural Zone Code states:

          Setbacks

          PO8

          Notwithstanding that intensive rural activities may need greater separation distances,
          buildings and other structures are appropriately sited and designed to:

               (a) avoid environmental harm or nuisance to sensitive land uses, including adverse
                   impacts on amenity values, over and above what could reasonably be expected in the
                   rural zone;
               (b) avoid adverse impact on ecologically important areas including National Parks,
                   watercourses, and wetlands;
               (c) mitigate risks associated with the use of chemicals or air pollutants; and
               (d) avoid conflict with rural uses and activities on adjoining properties.

          Complies with PO8

          The proposal is for the change of use of an existing building to a Dwelling House. The
          Dwelling House would be located within 200 metres of the land to the east, which
          exceeds 4 hectares in area and is mapped Agricultural Land Conservation Area.
          Notwithstanding, the adjacent land is used for rural lifestyle purposes and is not used
          for agricultural cropping or other agricultural pursuits. The proposed development
          would not result in adverse impacts resulting from neighbouring incompatible land uses
          and is considered to be consistent with the Performance Outcome.
