Overall Outcomes                                          Comment
       a)           The proposed lot layout has been designed such that it is commensurate with the
                    pattern of residential development in the area. The proposed lot layout has also been
                    determined on the basis of the sites environmental constraints. Of particular note, it
                    is recognized that the proposed residential allotments are set well beyond areas of
                    the site that are subject to flooding (refer section 4.2.3 of report), and the Koala
                    Assessment Report provided at Appendix E clearly provides that although koala
                    habitat is probably of moderate value it is disturbed and unlikely to provide long-term
                    breeding or foraging habit. It is also unlikely to be important for facilitating
                    movements between significant patches of habitat.
       b)           The proposed lot layout is consistent with the Priority Infrastructure Plan in Part 15 of
                    the Planning Scheme.
       c)           The proposal includes the creation of fourteen (14) lots suitable for free-standing
                    detached dwellings thereby contributing to the provision of housing in the area.
       d)           It is expected that future dwellings on these lots will remain in-keeping with the low
                    density character of the area.
       p)           The proposed includes the creation of a balance environmental lot adjacent Wooroi
                    Creek.
       q)           The subject site is mapped as included Category B regulated vegetation, containing
                    ‘of concern’ regional ecosystems. A detail survey has been undertaken to ‘ground
                    truth’ the extent of regulated vegetation over the site, please refer to detail survey
                    included on the Proposal Plans at Appendix C of this report. The survey indicates
                    that the presence of regulated vegetation appears to be proximate to Wooroi Creek.
                    The vegetation along the George Street frontage (although mapped) is a planted
                    garden bed and not regulated vegetation.

                    As per pre-lodgement discussions, proposed lot 900 is intended to be dedicated for
                    the purposes of reserve in recognition of this vegetation.
       r)           Refer response to c) and d) above.
       x)           The proposal delivers traditional sized lots suitable for free-standing detached
                    dwellings in keeping with the residential amenity of the area.

Specific Outcomes
        O1          Pre and post construction works will ensure that environmental measures are
                    implemented such that adverse changes to the light, air, quality, accessibility of
                    neighboring premises are ameliorated.
       02           The proposal will not adversely impact on the function or amenity of the surrounding
                    road network, particularly with respect to heavy ridged vehicles utilizing the
                    surrounding road network during construction.
       03           The proposal seeks to maintain and enhance the presence of significant vegetation
                    over the site. In light of this, the balance of the site will be dedicated for the purposes
                    of a reserve in recognition of the presence of environmental constraints.
       04           Not applicable. The height of buildings and other structures is not relevant as the
                    proposal is for a Reconfiguration of a Lot. Notwithstanding, it is anticipated that
                    future built form will not exceed 8 metres.
       05           Not applicable. The setbacks of buildings and structures are not relevant as the
                    proposal is for a Reconfiguration of a Lot. Notwithstanding, it is anticipated that
                    future built form will ensure that setbacks comply with the requirements of the
                    Planning Scheme for the Detached Housing zone. In achieving the setback
                    requirements, it is contended that frontage setbacks for proposed lots 1, 10 and 11
                    only apply to one frontage of these proposed allotments with the remaining boundary
                    setbacks to be considered side / rear boundary setbacks.
      06-07         Not applicable. The site cover, gross floor area and plot ratio of buildings and other
                    roofed structures is not relevant as the proposal is for a Reconfiguration of a Lot.
                    Notwithstanding, it is anticipated that future built form will comply with the planning
                    scheme requirements.
     08-010         Not Applicable. The proposed development is for a reconfiguration of a lot in the
                    Detached Housing / Rural Settlement Zones only.
      011           Noted. The proposed development will ensure that future building and siting works
                    are able to be appropriately accommodated. Construction works will ensure that
                    filling (where required) and excavation does not cause ponding or increase the risk of
                    flooding to neighboring properties.
      012           Not applicable. The design of buildings and structures such that they have regard to
