               roads or the river. The development does not involve the removal of any vegetation as the
               development site has previously been lawfully cleared. Therefore, the proposal is considered to
               comply with PO7.
               Biodiversity Overlay - Riparian Buffer Area
               The subject site contains a riparian buffer area which includes an area previously conditioned to
               be an environmental covenant area. The proposed dwelling and associated bushfire management
               buffers do not require the removal of vegetation, nor are they located within the Riparian Buffer
               area
               The house site area is within the Environmental Protection Overlay however no trees are proposed
               to be cleared as a result of the development.
               The effluent disposal system is located within existing vegetation east of the proposed dwelling
               and will use fixed surface sprinkler irrigation which does not require excavation or removal of any
               vegetation. At a distance of 130m to the edge of the Riparian buffer the system is unlikely to have
               any detrimental impact on water quality or ecology.
               Any pool backwash or overflow will flow into a rubble put that will then run into to stormwater
               drainage pipe across the grass swale and into the dam on site.
               The proposed development raises no concerns in relation to the Biodiversity Overlay as cleared
               and revegetation of the environmental covenant area have been undertaken in accordance with
               previous approvals.
               The applicant has provided an Ecological Assessment Report, prepared by Green Tape Solutions
               and dated 19 September 2022. This report includes several rehabilitation areas. Conditions are
               recomemmended accordingly.

               4.1. Referral Agencies
               Not Applicable
               4.2. Internal Council Referrals
               The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers for review and/or comment:
                   Daniel Epps – comments below.


               The submitted documentation did not include sufficient information for Engineering to assess the
               proposed development (earthworks, erosion and sediment control, stormwater management,
               access and clearing). The applicant engaged SCG Consulting Engineers to address Engineering’s
               concerns. SCG provided additional detail demonstrating how stormwater generated on-site would
               be controlled and released. SCG also prepared an earthworks and erosion and sediment control
               plan. The applicant indicated that no additional clearing would be required during and post
               construction. Engineering believes relevant compliances can be achieved and recommends the
               following conditions be included.


               5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
