  Editor's Note ­ These performance outcomes and acceptable
  outcomes apply to:
  (a)    development on land in a koala priority area, where the
         development does not interfere with koala habitat and
         where the benchmarks are additional to and not
         inconsistent with, the assessment benchmarks stated in
         schedule 11, part 2 of the Planning Regulations 2017; and
  (b)    development on land outside the koala priority area, where
         the development does not interfere with koala habitat in
         koala habitat areas.
