                    • Community activities are located to optimise their accessibility, operational efficiency and
                         benefit to the community.
                    • Development does not limit the ongoing operation and expansion of an existing community
                         facility or prejudice the establishment of a new facility.
                    • Development for infrastructure activities results in a clear demarcation between public and
                      private spaces and protects public safety.
                    • Community activities provide an attractive, safe, pedestrian friendly environment and
                      integrate with surrounding land uses.
                    • Where appropriate, compatible community and recreation related activities and facilities are
                      co-located.
                    • Adverse impacts on ecologically important areas, including natural habitats, bushland,
                      wetlands and waterways are avoided or minimised.
               Refer below to a complete assessment against the assessment benchmarks of the code.
               An assessment of the application against the Community Facilities zone code demonstrates that
               the proposed Reconfiguring a lot application has been prepared in such a way to accommodate
               future community uses which will require further application. The proposed subdivision is
               consistent with the relevant assessment benchmarks and overall outcomes of the code.
               4.5.3 Reconfiguring a Lot Code
               The purpose of the Reconfiguring a lot code is to ensure that development:
                    a) results in lots that are appropriate for their intended use;
                    b) contributes to a high standard of amenity;
                    c) results in lots that are consistent with the desired character of the local area ensuring high
                       quality urban design outcomes;
                    d) is responsive to site constraints;
                    e) maintains or improves environmental values and avoids adverse off-site environmental
                       impacts;
                    f)    provides lawful, safe and practical access arrangements; and
                    g) provides infrastructure and services to new lots.


               The purpose will be achieved through compliance with the overall outcomes and the assessment
               benchmarks of the code. The reconfiguring a lot code includes the following overall outcomes:
                    •     Development provides for lots that are of a size and have dimensions that are appropriate
                          for their intended use and are consistent with the sizes of surrounding lots.
                    •     Development provides for lots which are responsive to local character and site constraints.
                    •     Development avoids significant adverse effects on the natural environment and landscape
                          including waterways, drainage lines, wetlands and other ecologically important areas.
                    •     Development provides for subdivisions that result in the creation of safe and healthy
                          communities by:
                          a)   avoiding or mitigating the risk to people and property from natural hazards;
                          b)   ensuring lots have a suitable and safe means of access to a public road;
                          c)   promoting walking, cycling and the use of public transport;
                          d)   providing appropriate infrastructure, including reticulated water and sewerage (where
                               available), sealed roads, pedestrian and bicycle paths, urban and non-urban open
                               space and community facilities in urban areas;
