3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION

3.1 SUBJECT SITE

The subject site is situated at 340 Pomona Kin Kin Road, Pinbarren and is described as lot 26 on
M37911.

The site comprises an area of 16.992ha and is currently occupied by a house and ancillary
structures. The site which is divided into two parts by Pomona Kin Kin Road with the majority of
the site where the cabins are proposed located on the eastern side of the road. This portion of
the site has a road frontage of approximately 253m to Pomona Kin Kin Road.

The site contains dams, waterways, areas of Category B endangered regional ecosystems and
essential habitat but the proposed development has been designed to avoid these parts of the
site. The site rises gently from Pomona Kin Kin Road towards to the rear of the site.

The site’s location and context are illustrated in the figures below:

3.2 SURROUNDING LAND USES

The site is immediately surrounded by Rural properties which are used predominately for
residential purposes. Importantly, the closest dwelling house is located on the northern boundary
of the property to the north and is more than 300m from the location of the proposed cabins. As
the aerial image below illustrates, there are areas of mature vegetation on the adjoining property
that will screen the cabins from this dwelling. There is also a dwelling on the property
immediately to the south of the site and this will be screened from the cabins by mature
vegetation within the application site.
