    A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
         1.     The proposed development is not consistent with the SEQ Regional Plan and
                would result in a high-density residential development within an area which
                contains ecological values and is not included within the planning scheme's urban
                growth boundaries.
         2.     The proposed development is contrary to State Planning Policy as it would
                irreversibly impact on good agricultural land.

         3.     The proposed development is not consistent with Desired Environmental Outcome
                3.1.3 (a) as it would result in the fragmentation of agricultural land and would not
                conserve land for agricultural purposes.
         4.     The proposed development is not consistent with Desired Environmental Outcome
                3.1.3 (h) as it would result in the loss of land intended to accommodate recreational
                activities for the community.
         5.     The proposed development is not consistent with Desired Environmental Outcome
                3.1.3 (j) as it would result in residential uses outside of the urban growth boundary
                and is inconsistent with the character and amenity of the locality where
                conservation and agricultural type land uses are expected.

                (iv), c), d), r), s), y), cc), gg), rr) and ss) and Specific Outcomes O1, O3, O7, O8,
                O9, O10, O15, O18, O19, O20, O25, O27, O81, O82 and O88 as it would:
                i.     result in high density residential development outside of the Urban Growth
                       Boundary which is not consistent with the Priority Infrastructure Plan;
                ii.     utilise Rural zoned land for the purpose of Multiple Housing which is an
                       inconsistent use in the zone with the land intended to be maintained for its
                       rural character and use for agricultural activities;
                iii.    utilise Open Space Recreation zoned land for the purpose of Multiple
                       Housing which is an inconsistent use in the zone with the land intended to
                       be used for recreational purposes;
                iv.     utilise rural land intended to be protected and managed to preserve the
