3365 261022 report · RAL19/0014.01

The trees on the property are clearly visible to Red Street road users as tall and
quite densely situated. If a large fire was to emanate from the west, houses in the
mapped buffer area could be severely impacted and lives threatened.

Extension of the RAL currency will enable the development to proceed and the fire
source to be removed. Should the approval lapse, meaning most trees remain
standing, the fire threat to the Pomona township will continue and increase with time
due to climate change and densification of regrowth.




1.4   INFRASTRUCTURE PROVISION

The residence on the subject property is connected to reticulated water supply.

Civil design plans approved under the OPW show how this can be extended to
accommodate the new lots. The additional demand on the water network can be
accommodated as confirmed by Unitywater.

Similarly, OPW civil design plans show how existing sewer mains can be extended
to accommodate the new lots. The topography enables sewer to be provided by
gravity mains. Again, the additional demand on the sewer network can be
accommodated as confirmed by Unitywater.

It should be noted the residence on the property is NOT connected to the sewer.
Sewer main was installed at the south east corner of the property in 2013 and a
connection point made available. This was constructed as part of the Pomona Infill
Sewerage Scheme.
