4.0 Planning Report

The remainder of the Codes identified in section 7.0 above in Italics have been addressed
below fittingly.


       7.1 Biodiversity Overlay Code
The proposed development is identified as being in the Environmental Protection Area. The
subject site is located within the industrial zone on land that has been cleared and prepared
for future development purposes. Currently the site does not contain any natural and
regulated vegetation or regional ecosystems. At most, vegetation on the site is sections of re-
growth and small to medium sized groupings of grass species. The proposed development
will include landscaped sections facing the street totalling 269.2sqm which will include
preferred endemic species suited to the area, (refer to attached landscape plans for details).
This is meets the required landscape requirements as specified in the relevant sections of the
Planning Scheme.


As a result vegetation and biodiversity of the site will be improved, as will surrounding sites
with future development anticipated. Erosion and sediment control measures will be
implemented during construction and appropriate drainage networks will be put in place to
ensure minimal impact on the surrounding waterways from runoff from the site.


       7.2 Caretaker’s Unit – (Ancillary Dwelling Unit)
The proposed development includes three ancillary dwelling units in three separate premises.
This is a consistent use within the Industrial Business Area of which this development is
proposed. In consideration of the definition of the Ancillary Dwelling Unity (Caretaker’s
Unit) it was found that the proposal was compliant with the parameters of the definition, and
that the proposed Units are ancillary to the industrial activity. Please see attached Building
Design Concept Drawings reflecting this statement


       7.3 Earthworks Code
The proposed development achieves the specific outcomes of the Earth Works Code as
detailed in the attached Engineering Drawings.

       7.4 Erosion and Sediment Control Code
The proposed development achieves the specific outcomes of the Erosion and Sediment
Control Code as detailed in the attached Engineering Drawings.
