1.    PROPOSAL
The application seeks approval for a Material Change of Use for a Dwelling house. The proposed
dwelling is single bedroom with a kitchen, combined living/dining area, bathroom with laundry and
deck. The total Gross floor area (GFA) of the proposed dwelling is 90m2. The proposed dwelling is
setback 89.1m from Kinmond Creek Road. Locality and proposal plans are included over page. This will
be the primary and only dwelling on the site. Water will be stored in 3 x 23000L concrete tanks located
under the house.

The house site has deliberately been chosen to minimise ecological impact. The house site is in the
least biodiverse part of the site and adjacent to an existing cleared area which will be used for effluent
disposal, greatly minimising the need for vegetation removal in particular high value vegetation. The
house has been deliberately kept small to minimise the footprint and clearing will be limited only to
that necessary for Bushfire mitigation (10m around the building).
