                  topography, availability of views, the established vegetated character,
                  the age of development and open space provision.
             c)   The     distinct    look     and     feel     of   existing   residential
                  neighbourhoods is retained, and development makes a positive
                  contribution to the streetscape by maintaining the predominant
                  character of the area and providing well designed buildings and
                  landscaping.
             d)   New uses are located, designed and managed to be compatible with
                  surrounding uses.
             e)   The intrusion of incompatible uses, or uses which are more
                  appropriately accommodated in other zones is avoided to protect land
                  for higher density attached housing.
             f)   Multiple dwellings of various sizes and some communal housing
                  models, to the exclusion of dual occupancy and dwelling houses, are
                  provided to meet the needs of different households.
                  …
             k)   Development maintains a high level of residential amenity having
                  regard to traffic, noise, dust, odour, lighting and other locally specific
                  impacts.
                  …

         C. Performance Outcomes PO1 - Development provides for higher density
            multiple dwellings in a range of dwelling sizes and styles, which meet the
            needs of current and future resident populations including small
            households, older persons, people on low incomes and people with special
            mobility needs.

     Code relevant to the application is provided below.

         A. 9.5.1.2 Purpose and overall outcomes - 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.

         B. The overall outcomes sought for the Reconfiguring a lot code are:
                a) 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.
                    …
                d) Provides for a diverse mix of residential lot sizes and
                   configurations to cater for different housing options.

         C. Performance Outcomes PO5 – New lots have areas and dimensions that:
                a) are consistent with the purpose and overall outcomes of the
                   applicable zone or zones;
                b) are consistent with the size and character of surrounding lots;

                                                                               Page 3 of 9
