         including natural features of cultural heritage
         significance.

         Compliance

         014 Complies - The proposed development does not propose significant adverse effects on the sites
         biodiversity, natural vegetation, native fauna habitat, landscape quality, water quality or cultural
         heritage.

         The attached vegetation assessment identifies the site as containing a low ecological value for the
         following reasons;

              •   it does not form a intact floral community
              •   it there is no contiguous canopy
              •   there is no linkage to other vegetation
              •   the area is highly modified
              •   it is very close to dwellings
              •   the trees are unlikely to be used for roosting or nesting
              •   the species have a low to modest source of food for birds and other animals
              •   pets        by land owners will deter wildlife
              •   With the existing land management it is probable the endemic trees would be displaced by
                  exotic flora as they die from natural causes

         The site does not contain any cultural heritage. The development proposes a significant amount of
         replanting which improves the landscape quality. The proposal does not alter the natural drainage
         natural coastal processes of the subject site. The proposal does not alter the dune system or a
         wetland. The attached landslide and bushfire reports identify the site as low risk. The erosion and
         sediment control is considered to minimal given that no excavation is proposed other than servicing
         trenches are proposed. This can be appropriately conditioned through siltation fencing.
