ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                             18 MARCH 2021


               v.      not preserve agricultural land, conserve open space for biodiversity and
                       water quality purposes or provide development at a density consistent with
                       the site's environmental constraints and proximity to the Lake Macdonald
                       water supply catchment;
               vi.     result in a design that does not minimise cut and fill;.
               vii.    result in adverse impacts on the site's environmental values;
               viii.   potentially impact upon the water quality of Lake Macdonald;
               ix.     result in a detrimental impact on the scenic vista from the major road network
                       and the entry into Cooroy township;
               x.      result in a built form that does not complement traditional streetscape and
                       building forms, including a club house with a height that will dominate
                       surrounding spaces and the existing skyline;
               xi.     result in parts of the development being located too close to Myall Street and
                       would not be consistent with the streetscape;
               xii.    have excessive site cover that results in excessive bulk which is not
                       compatible with surrounding development; and
               xiii.   have the potential to impact on the acoustic amenity of the surrounding area,
                       as no acoustic measures are proposed to be implemented for the new golf
                       club house.
    Residential Uses Code
         7.    The proposed development does not comply with Overall Outcomes 14.44.2 a), b)
               and j) and Specific Outcomes O7, O16, O17 and O36 as:
               i.      internal driveways are too narrow to satisfactorily accommodate internal
                       traffic movements;
               ii.     it is proposed on land that is not suited to the development of residential
                       buildings;
               iii.    it is not consistent with the character of the neighbourhood;
               iv.     it does not maximise the use of the natural topography and minimise the
                       need for cut and fill; and
               v.      it is not located within reasonable proximity to a variety of essential services.
    Biodiversity Overlay Code
         8.    The proposed development fails to meet Overall Outcomes 13.7.2 a), b), c), d) (i),
               (ii), (iii) and (v), e) and g) and Specific Outcomes O1, O3, O4, O5, O6, O8, O9,
               O10, O14, O15, O18 and O19 as it would result in the removal of significant
               vegetation and intrude into the site’s riparian buffer.
    Water Sensitive Design Code
         9.    The proposed development does not comply with Overall Outcomes 14.157.2 a)
               and b) as it:
               i.      is not designed and could not be constructed in a manner that does not
                       impede, long term attainment of relevant Environmental Values and Water
                       Quality Objectives as specified in the Environmental Protection Policy 2009;
                       and
               ii.     proposes infrastructure within the riparian zone and an extent of cut and fill
                       that is likely to create adverse impacts on downstream ecosystems,
                       properties and infrastructure due to changes to stormwater flow, water quality
                       or ecosystem health.
