Planning Report No. 100041 · MCU22/0140

            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.


             Comment


             The intent of the proposed Material Change of Use is to establish four (4)
             Multiple Dwelling Units to provide diverse residential options for the town of
             Cooroy, in line with explicit intent of the Medium Density Residential Zone
             Code (Purpose – Point 1(a)).


             The proposed development produces an attractive residential design and does
             not detrimentally impact existing natural site features. The units have been
             designed with consideration to the constraints and opportunities of the land,
             overlays, and surrounding neighbourhood. In summary, the proposed
             development is consistent with the purpose and overall outcomes envisaged
             for the Medium Density Residential Zone.
