           waterways and flood plain; and
       c)​ development integrates with the natural landform rather than modifying the landform to suit
           the development as far as practicable.

AO3 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code

AO3 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code states:

   AO3 Development areas are not filled to reduce flood risk.

PO10 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code

PO10 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code states:

   PO10 Excavation and filling for operational works only occur where they:
      a)​ result in the protection, rehabilitation and repair of ecologically important areas,
          watercourses, drainage lines and wetlands;
      b)​ do not adversely impact on the overall hydrology, hydraulics and flood capacity of a
          waterway;
      c)​ do not directly, indirectly or cumulatively cause adverse impacts external to the site;
      d)​ do not cause increased flooding, which adversely affects the safety or use of any land
          upstream or downstream;
      e)​ do not cause ponding of water on the site or nearby land;
      f)​ do not result in a reduction in flood storage capacity;
      g)​ do not adversely affect the flow of water in any overland flow path; and
      h)​ do not adversely affect the privacy or visual amenity of surrounding property.

   Editor’s Note— The Earthworks Code sets out further requirements for earthworks.

AO10 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code

AO10 of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code states:

   AO10 Filling, other than accessways:
      a)​ does not extend more than the equivalent of 3 metres around the main building, measured
          from the outer walls of the building;
      b)​ is limited to a maximum of 500m2; and
      c)​ does not impact on the local drainage of adjoining properties.

Response: A Flood Information Certificate confirms the applicable minimum floor level for habitable
rooms is 2.7m. Refer attached flood search certificate and civil engineering design for compliance
solution.
