The site is included in an urban area that is committed for development. Existing vegetation Is located
in the centre of the site and in combination with the slope of the site; it is not feasible to retain
vegetation in the centre of the site.

Bushfire Hazard Area. An assessment of the proposal against the provisions of the Natural Hazards
Overlays Code indicates that the proposal complies with the Specific outcomes and probable
solutions.

The site is in a defined urban area and has easy access to a water supply.

An analysis of the likely risk of fire indicates that a fire might generate from the area known as
Settlers Cove to the west of the site. Future development of a‘resort on the Setters Cove site will
further manage this area with regard to fire.

The existing road infrastructure to the west of the site provides an effective firebreak to the site as
well as the access driveway on the site. As demonstrated in photographs 7 and 8 below.

species across the site.
