The subject site until recently accommodated a dwelling house in the same location of the proposed new
dwelling. As such, the proposed dwelling house and associated outbuildings will not create further
impacts on the Agricultural Land Conservation Area.

Acceptable Outcome AO8.4 (b) & AO8.5 - Reduced setback to riparian buffer area and Agricultural Land
Conservation Area
Acceptable Outcome AO8.4 requires buildings and structures to be setback a distance greater than the
width of the riparian buffer area, as shown in Figure 5 below. It is proposed to provide reduced setbacks
to the riparian buffer area due to the large width of the buffer area, creating an onerous setback
expectation. The dwelling and associated outbuildings are appropriately located, in the same position as
the recently demolish dwelling and in an elevated, cleared section of the property. Furthermore,
Acceptable Outcome AO8.5 requires properties over 2 hectares in area to be setback no less than 200
metres between sensitive land uses and land on an adjacent rural zone property over 4 hectares in the
Agricultural Land Conservation Area.

The reduced setbacks are largely based on the need to position the Dwelling and Secondary Dwelling on
the flattest sections of the site, where the area is cleared and unconstrained . As shown in Figures 4 & 5,
complying with the two setbacks would significantly and unnecessarily constrain the property and its
ability to accommodate a new dwelling house. As the site is within the Rural Zone, a Dwelling House is a
consistent land use and should be able to be accommodated on the property, subject to reasonable and
relevant conditions.

The property still provides significant vegetation buffering. Attachment 1 identifies the relevant overlays,
setbacks and proposed buildings.

The proposed development complies with the Performance Outcome PO8 for the following reasons:
