Planning Statement

The site is mapped as being subject to a number of Overlays. The proposed dwelling is clear of the mapped
Environmental Protection Area of the Biodiversity Overlay and therefore is not required to be assessed against
the Overlay.

 A detached house is exempt from assessment against the Natural Hazard Overlay and the proposal does not
trigger the Natural Hazards Overlay (Acid Sulfate Soils). The site however requires assessment against the
Natural Resources Overlay (Coastal Protection Area) and accordingly a code assessable application is
required.




A review of the proposal against the Natural Resources Overlay Code is detailed below:
