              Response to Information Request for Reconfiguring a Lot (1 Lot into 2 Lots) at 96 Black Mountain
              Range Road, Black Mountain


              I refer to Council’s Information Request dated 3rd November 2022 in relation to the development
              application at 96 Black Mountain Range Road, Black Mountain for a Reconfiguration of a Lot (1 Lot into
              2 Lots). On behalf of the applicant, Brett Hage, we submit a response which addresses all items from
              Council’s information request. The response should be read in conjunction with the following
              attachments:

                   •    Attachment 1 – Revised Proposal Plan
                   •    Attachment 2 – Revised Engineering Plans
                   •    Attachment 3 – Revised Slope Stability Assessment
                   •    Attachment 4 – Engineering Response


               1       Provide plans showing recommendations of the bushfire report, and confirmation whether an
                       asset protection zone is required.

              Response:
              An asset protection zone (APZ) is required for the building envelope but no other firebreak trails or
              firebreaks are recommended in the bushfire report.

              The last two paragraphs in Section 5.2 from the bushfire report states:
                “The extent of proposed separation comprises land within the lots and the adjacent Black Mountain
                Range Road reserve which is considered a reliable permanent low threat zone for the life of the
                development.

                   To ensure the available separation is maintained for the life of the development all land between the
                   building envelopes and Black Mountain Range Road inclusive of 10m distance around the future
                   dwellings is to be maintained as a low threat low fuel load Asset Protection Zone. Vegetative
                   conditions in the APZ are to be provided as detailed in Section 5.6 Landscaping.”

              The report then goes on to state in Section 5.4 that no additional firebreak trails are necessary:
                “Given the proposed Lots satisfy the Assessment Benchmark 4 criteria, the high density of Low
                Potential Bushfire Intensity Areas surrounding the site, and as the westerly adjacent hazardous
                bushland interface can be readily accessed by emergency services from Black Mountain Range
                Road, the provision of additional fire break trails within the site is deemed unnecessary.”

              The recommendations from the bushfire report (e.g. driveway width, driveway grade, water tanks, etc.)
              can be conditioned as part of a development approval. It is requested that Council condition a
              development approval accordingly.
