                        j.       Development maintains a high level of residential amenity having regard to traffic,
                                 noise, dust, odour, lighting and other locally specific impacts.
                        k.       Development provides for an efficient pattern of land use and infrastructure that creates
                                 walkable and legible residential neighbourhoods that integrate with active transport
                                 networks and are well connected to activity centres, employment nodes, open space
                                 and recreational areas, community facilities and educational opportunities.
                        l.       Development is supported by appropriate infrastructure and essential services and
                                 does not adversely impact on the continued operation, viability and maintenance of
                                 existing infrastructure or compromise future provision of planned infrastructure.
                        m.       Development responds to land constraints including topography, bushfire and flood.
                        n.       Natural features such as creeks, gullies, waterways, wetlands, vegetation and
                                 bushland are retained and protected from the impacts of development. Any
                                 unavoidable impacts are minimised through location, design, operation and
                                 management requirements.
                        o.       Native vegetation between buildings and in the public realm enhances the amenity and
                                 supports local wildlife.
               The retrospective enclosure and increase to plot ratio for Unit 5 complies with the overall outcomes
               due to the following justification:
                    •        The proposed exceedance relates to a minor increase in gross floor area within
                             the curtilage of an existing building, ensuring no change to the external built form or scale;
                    •        The development remains compatible with surrounding uses, as no new structures or uses
                             are introduced;
                    •        The existing building maintains the low-scale character of the neighbourhood, with no
                             adverse impact on the streetscape or visual amenity;
                    •        The proposal supports the intent to retain land for multiple dwellings, aligning with the
                             zone’s purpose and avoiding intrusion of incompatible uses;
                    •        The minor increase contributes to housing diversity, supporting the demographic needs
                             of one- and two-person households and residents with reduced mobility;
                    •        The change does not affect the residential amenity, with no increase in traffic, noise, dust,
                             odour, or lighting impacts;
                    •        The development remains well-connected to infrastructure, active transport networks, and
                             community facilities, consistent with the zone’s walkability and accessibility goals;
                    •        The proposal respects land constraints, with no impact on topography, flood risk, or
                             bushfire hazard;
                    •        Natural features and vegetation are unaffected, as the change is internal and within the
                             existing footprint;
                    •        The minor exceedance is in keeping with the established character of the area, which
                             varies due to proximity to natural and recreational features.
               Therefore, the proposed development complies with the overall outcomes of the Medium
               Density Residential Zone Code.

Development maintains a high level of residential amenity having regard to traffic,
noise, dust, odour, lighting and other locally specific impacts.

Development provides for an efficient pattern of land use and infrastructure that creates
walkable and legible residential neighbourhoods that integrate with active transport
networks and are well connected to activity centres, employment nodes, open space
and recreational areas, community facilities and educational opportunities.

Development is supported by appropriate infrastructure and essential services and
does not adversely impact on the continued operation, viability and maintenance of
existing infrastructure or compromise future provision of planned infrastructure.

m. Development responds to land constraints including topography, bushfire and flood.

Natural features such as creeks, gullies, waterways, wetlands, vegetation and
bushland are retained and protected from the impacts of development. Any
unavoidable impacts are minimised through location, design, operation and
management requirements.

Native vegetation between buildings and in the public realm enhances the amenity and
supports local wildlife.

The retrospective enclosure and increase to plot ratio for Unit 5 complies with the overall outcomes
due to the following justification:

The proposed exceedance relates to aminor increase in gross floor area within
the curtilage of an existing building, ensuring no change to the external built form or scale;

The development remains compatible with surrounding uses, as no new structures or uses
are introduced;

The existing building maintains the low-scale character of the neighbourhood, with no
adverse impact on the streetscape or visual amenity;

The proposal supports the intent to retain land for multiple dwellings, aligning with the
zone’s purpose and avoiding intrusion of incompatible uses;

The minor increase contributes to housing diversity, supporting the demographic needs
of one- and two-person households and residents with reduced mobility;

The change does not affect the residential amenity, with no increase in traffic, noise, dust,
odour, or lighting impacts;

The development remains well-connected to infrastructure, active transport networks, and
community facilities, consistent with the zone’s walkability and accessibility goals;

The proposal respects land constraints, with no impact on topography, flood risk, or
bushfire hazard;

Natural features and vegetation are unaffected, as the change is internal and within the
existing footprint;

The minor exceedance is in keeping with the established character of the area, which
varies due to proximity to natural and recreational features.

Therefore, the proposed development complies with the overall outcomes of the Medium
Density Residential Zone Code.
