9.5.1.2                       Purpose and overall outcomes
(1)   The purpose of the Reconfiguring a lot code is to ensure that development:
      (a) results in lots that are appropriate for their intended use;

      (d) is responsive to site constraints;
      (e) maintains or improves environmental values and avoids adverse off-site environmental impacts;
      (f)  provides lawful, safe and practical access arrangements; and
      (g) provides infrastructure and services to new lots.
(2)   The overall outcomes sought for the Reconfiguring a lot code are:
      (a) Development provides for lots that are of a size and have dimensions that are appropriate for their intended use and are consistent with the sizes of
           surrounding lots.
      (b) Development provides for lots which are responsive to local character and site constraints such that the natural landform is not modified.
      (c) Development avoids significant adverse effects on the natural environment and landscape including waterways, drainage lines, wetlands and other
           ecologically important areas.
      (d) Provides for a diverse mix of residential lot sizes and configurations to cater for different housing options.
      (e) Development provides for subdivisions that result in the creation of safe and healthy communities by:
           (i)   avoiding or mitigating the risk to people and property from natural hazards;
           (ii) ensuring lots have a suitable and safe means of access to a public road;
           (iii) incorporating a road and transport network that is responsive to, and integrated with, the natural topography of the site, is integrated with existing or
                 planned adjoining development and supports the circulation of public transport;
           (iv) promoting walking, cycling and the use of public transport;
           (v) promoting social interaction and community activity;
