     Matters Raised                                    Comments

     Unsafe Vehicle Movement – Line of Sight           The proposed use will utilise the existing shared
                                                       driveway which is sufficient for access to the subject
                                                       site. This matter raised does not warrant the refusal of
                                                       the application.

     Stormwater Discharge                              No changes have been proposed to the existing
                                                       dwelling and therefore the proposal will not further
                                                       exacerbate stormwater discharge to surrounding
                                                       properties. This matter raised does not warrant the
                                                       refusal of the application.

     Use and Deterioration of Shared Driveway          It is noted in the application that the portion of the
                                                       driveway near the neighbouring property is to be sealed
                                                       prior to the commencement of the use on the subject
                                                       site.
                                                       Carparking has been provided on the subject site for
                                                       visitors to use. The shared driveway will not be used for
                                                       carparking.
                                                       This matter raised does not warrant the refusal fo the
                                                       application.

5.      CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The application seeks to use an existing dwelling house for short-term accommodation within the
Rural Residential Zone. The proposal is compliant with the Planning Scheme and does not present
any significant impacts to adjoining land uses and surrounding areas. The proposed short term
accommodation use is identified as a consistent use within the applicable zone and while the use
has the potential to detrimentally impact the amenity of surrounding properties, conditions have
been included to minimise these impacts and ensure noise, waste and carparking are sufficiently
managed to limit nuisance to neighbouring properties. The site is located in a Biodiversity and
Koala Habitat Area; however, the proposed use will not affect any existing vegetation and will
preserve these areas. As such, the proposal is recommended for approval.
