Delegated Report - Code - Planning OPW26 0082 [As Published]

               assessments were prepared on the basis that future landowners would retain the ability to manage
               understorey and mid-storey fuel loads around the approved building envelope.
               The proposed covenant would restrict this vegetation management in close proximity to the future
               dwelling site. Accordingly, some additional vegetation clearing is required outside the covenant
               area to maintain an appropriate bushfire setback and ensure that a future dwelling can achieve a
               reasonable level of bushfire protection without relying upon ongoing vegetation management within
               the protected covenant area.
               Notwithstanding this, the extent of vegetation clearing has been minimised to that which is
               reasonably necessary to facilitate a future dwelling on the lot while retaining adjoining
               environmental covenant areas for the long-term protection of vegetation. The vegetation identified
               for removal also primarily comprises paperbark species that were damaged while juvenile and
               have subsequently developed multiple leading trunks.”
               Having due regard to the bushfire management requirements applicable to a future dwelling,
               including exemptions for essential management activities such as establishing necessary
               firebreaks, the proposed clearing is considered to be limited to the minimum extent reasonably
               necessary to facilitate the development.
