VIA Peer review
Council officers sought an independent consultant to conduct a peer review of the applicant’s VIA.
The scope of the review included the methodology used, rationale of findings and if these findings
can be relied upon to demonstrate compliance with the relevant planning provisions. Impacts on
views on private property were considered from private open and internal living space areas.
Ground-truthing and the use of Lidar technology formed part of the assessment by Council’s
independent visual consultant. Council’s Development Planner and the independent visual
consultant visited several properties by invitation from submitters including 226, 250, 268, 298,
301, 486 & 560 Tablelands Road (refer Figure 11 below for locations).
