Specific Outcomes                                            Comment
        O1           The majority of the lot layout is included in the Detached Housing Zone whereby the
                     minimum lot size is 600m2. To this end, the proposal delivers a combination of lot
                     sizes ranging from 605m2 -815m2 suitable for free-standing detached dwellings.
                     Further, lot sizes and dimensions have been designed such that they are
                     commensurate with the existing pattern of development in the area.
       O2            Not Applicable. The site is not included in the North Shore Locality
       O3            Not Applicable. The site is not included in the Lake McDonald Water Supply
                     Catchment Area
       O4            This is one of the last undeveloped parcels of land in the area and as such, the site
                     represents a key opportunity for further subdivision.
       O5            A 50m buffer area will be provided (within the proposed balance environmental lot)
                     measured from the rear of the lots to the edge of the vegetation/ Wooroi Creek.
       O6            As previously noted, the proposed lot layout delivers a combination of lot sizes
                     ranging from 605m2 -815m2 suitable to accommodate free-standing detached
                     dwellings.
       O7            The proposed lot layout incorporates a access road to facilitate safe and convenient
                     vehicle movement. The street width is in accordance with the design standards in
                     section 2.3 of PSP5 Engineering Design Standards – Roads, Drainage and
                     Earthworks.
       O8            A footpath is provided between lots 6 and 7 to enable access to the proposed
                     balance environmental lot. A footpath is also provided at the George Street frontage
                     to provide pedestrian access to nearby community facilities and services.
       O9            As above

       O11           The proposed development incorporates a sealed access road to service the
                     proposed allotments.
       O12           The site is readily connected to Council’s reticulated water service which is
                     understood to have sufficient capacity for firefighting purposes.
       O13           The proposed allotment layout provides the ability for the future construction of
                     energy efficient buildings.
       O14           The proposed lot layout is configured to maximize solar access and capture
                     prevailing coastal breezes, please refer to Proposal Plan included at Appendix C.
       O15           The proposed development will be connected to underground infrastructure services
                     including reticulated water, sewer, electricity and telecommunications.
       O16           As above
       O17           Noted. It is expected that infrastructure services will maintain their function during
                     flood events up to a 1% AEP flood event. No new infrastructure services are
                     proposed as part of this application.
