        That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment
        Committee Meeting dated 8 June 2021 regarding Application No. RAL20/0019 for a
        Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 2 lots), situated at 23 Jirrima
        Crescent, Cooroibah and: request staff to prepare a further report for the Ordinary
        meeting dated 17 June 2021 including conditions for approval of the application.
        A.    Refuse the application for the following reasons:
              1.    The proposal is not consistent with the 8.2.2.2 (1), (2)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f),
                    (g) and (i), Acceptable Outcomes AO6.1, AO6.2 and PO6 of the Biodiversity,
                    Waterways and Wetlands Overlay as:
                    a.    The proposal results in development within the Riparian Buffer Area,
                          with the proposed lot boundaries traversing the buffer area.
                    b.    The proposal seeks to enhance, rehabilitate and protect only part of
                          the identified Riparian Buffer Area.
                    c.    The proposed development increases the scale and intensity of
                          development within and adjacent to an ecologically important area
                          which has the potential to adversely impact on the site’s ecological
                          values.
                    d.    The proposal has the potential to result in additional clearing of
                          vegetation in the Riparian Buffer Area due to the vegetation clearing
                          exemptions permitted by the Planning Regulation 2017 and the
                          planning scheme for lot boundaries and fencing.
              2.    The proposal is not consistent with 9.5.1.2 (1) (d) and (e) and Overall
                    Outcomes 2(b),(c), Acceptable Outcome AO7.5, AO7.7 and AO7.9 and
                    Performance Outcome PO7 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code as:
                    a.    The development does not provide for a lot layout that is responsive to
                          the natural environmental values present on the site.
                    b.    The proposed lot boundaries traverse ecologically important areas and
                          ecological linkages.
                    c.    The proposed environmental covenant area is only proposed over part
                          of the Riparian Buffer area and will not provide suitable protection to
                          this ecologically important area.
        B.    Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act
              2016.
                                                                       Carried unanimously.
