                 In the interim, Council has the following matters for attention, please note that a Further
                 Advice may be required should the layout have to be redesigned.
                 Item – Building Envelope
                 The proposed building envelope is limited to approximately 500m², which appears insufficient
                 to accommodate all anticipated built form and associated infrastructure on a Rural Residential
                 zoned allotment. In particular, the submitted material does not demonstrate that adequate
                 area has been provided for on-site wastewater treatment and disposal.
                 Information Required
                 2.     Provide revised site plans identifying an appropriately sized building envelope that
                        demonstrates sufficient area for all proposed buildings, structures, and associated
                        development.
                 3.     Provide a wastewater management plan prepared by a suitably qualified person which:
                 •      identifies the location and extent of the effluent treatment and disposal area;
                 •      confirms the total land area required for wastewater management; and
                 •      demonstrates that the wastewater management area is either wholly contained within
                        the nominated building envelope or otherwise appropriately located and protected as
                        part of the proposed development.


                 Item - Extent of Clearing
                 The site is located within an area affected by the Biodiversity Waterways and Wetlands
                 Overlay map containing areas of Biodiversity Significance and Riparian Buffer Area.
                 Acceptable Outcome AO1.3 (b) of the Biodiversity Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code
                 states clearing vegetation (other than for a driveway access) does not extend beyond 10
                 metres of a habitable building or class 10 structure on lots 10 hectares or less but more than
                 3,000m2.
                 The application material indicates some vegetation clearing would be required.
                 In accordance with Acceptable Outcome AO3.1 where clearing cannot be practicably avoided,
                 the siting of development should be designed to limit the loss of vegetation to the smallest
                 extent possible.
                 Information Required
                 4.     Please provide a plan showing trees to be removed and those to be retained to achieve
                        the development.


                 Item - Rehabilitation of Riparian Vegetation
                 The site is located within an area mapped by the Biodiversity Waterways and Wetlands
                 Overlay Map containing areas of Biodiversity Significance. Riparian Buffer Area is also located
                 within the existing lot. AO3.1 requires suitable habitat replacement and replanting in
                 accordance with PSP3 Ecological Assessment Guidelines. AO6.2 requires development
                 provides for the rehabilitation of land within the riparian buffer area.
                 Information Required
                 5.     Provide a simple restoration plan which demonstrates compliance with the Biodiversity
                        Waterways and Wetlands Overlay code by:
                        (a) Staged removal of undesirable plant species as described in Table SC6.3.5.1 of
                            PSP2 Landscaping within 10m of the centreline of the creek;
