Figure 8 – qualitative secondary flowpath and watercourse.
Effects of development
Although the watercourse is not observed on site, there is potential for a secondary flowpath in the
northeast corner, which does raise some considerations for any development. However, it is
considered that a solution could be designed to mitigate against any effect of a secondary flowpath.
This would increase the building cost but is not a significant hurdle.
6.    Bushfire
Council has a Bushfire Management Plan for Pinaroo Park dated September 2005 (BMP). The
BMP outlines several recommendations to reduce bushfire risk. Council generally undertakes
these recommendations with mowing near private lot boundaries, walking trails and verges. The
risk would be similar to that of adjoining properties to Pinaroo Park. The subject site is partially
mown by a Council contractor to reduce bushfire risk.
Effects of development
The site is subject to bushfire hazard. As part of the design stage of development a Building certifier
would determine a bushfire attack level and building materials / design implemented accordingly.
Depending on the bushfire risk level some cost to building could apply, it is considered that this
issue could be managed.
7.    Slope
The site originally had approximately 4.5m of slope diagonally across the site from the road verge
to the northern west boundary. However, that has been modified with a rock retaining wall with
