 5.3         Overlays

             The subject sites are affected by the following overlays:


                        Biodiversity
                            o   Watercourses & Drainage Lines;
                            o   Environmental Protection Area;
                            o   Riparian Buffer Area;
                        Bushfire and Acid Sulphate Soils
                            o   Medium Bushfire Hazard;
                        Landslide and Flooding
                            o   Landslide Hazard Area;
                            o   Rivers and Drainage Lines.


             As the proposed development simply seeks approval for a logical boundary
             realignment, an assessment of the applicable overlay codes is not considered
             necessary. A snapshot and comment regarding each of these overlays has
             been provided below.




5.3.1        Biodiversity


             The          subject       sites      contain
             Environmental          Protection       Area,
             Watercourses and Drainage Lines
             and a Riparian Buffer Area. As a
             result of the proposed boundary
             realignment, the existing riparian
             buffer area and the large majority
             of the vegetation and watercourses
             will be contained within the lot
             boundaries of proposed Lot 245. In addition, the lot boundary between
             proposed Lot 2 and proposed Lot 245 will traverse less vegetation than the
             current situation. Therefore, the proposal is considered to result in a greater
             environmental outcome.
