Reconfiguring a Lot Code



                     area, allow for water storage tanks and       lot sizes that cater for varied commercial and industrial enterprises,
                     suitable effluent disposal.                   such that:
     e)   except where otherwise specified in a local area
          code, comply with the minimum lot size specified              a)    smaller lots intended for intensive development are
          in Table 9.5.1.4 Minimum Lot Size and Dimensions                    clustered near centres;
                                                                        b)    new lots adjacent to sensitive land uses include sufficient
                                                                              area for buffering of incompatible land uses; and
                                                                        c)    lot reconfiguration provides for

PO6                                                                No acceptable outcome provided                                           The lots have a conventional rectilinear shape.
Development provides for irregular shaped lots to be created
only where:
     a) the creation of regular lots is impractical such as at a
          curve in the road or because of topographical
          constraints;
     b) safe access and visual exposure to and from
          the site can be provided, while not adversely
          impacting on the functionality of the surrounding
          road network;
     c) it is desirable to avoid clearing of vegetation and the
          fragmentation of habitat in ecologically important
          areas; and
     d) the irregular lot is demonstrably suitable for its
          intended purpose.
