 Agricultural Land Overlay                      Due to the ecological constraints of the site the
                                                proposed dwelling house is proposed to be located
                                                at the rear of the property, located on land that is
                                                mapped as agricultural land conservation area.
                                                This proposed location is the most unconstrained
                                                area of the site, that will not require any loss of
                                                natural habitat, interference with waterways or
                                                large amounts of vegetation clearing or extensive
                                                earthworks to facilitate the development. The
                                                proposed site cover for the dwelling is less than
                                                1%. As the rural site currently has no dwelling or
                                                residential buildings, the impact of the dwelling on
                                                the site is deemed a little impact and will not result
                                                in any fragmentation of the rural land, an
                                                incompatible land use or an irreversible impact on
                                                the productive capacity of the subject site or
                                                adjoining site operations.
 Biodiversity, waterways and wetlands overlay   The proposed location for the dwelling is not
                                                within proximity of the waterways, riparian buffer
                                                or areas of biodiversity significance on the site.




 Bushfire Hazard overlay                        A bushfire attack level assessment report has been
                                                undertaken over the site to assess the risk for the
                                                proposed dwelling – refer to Attachment 6.

                                                The BAL assessment found that the site had a
                                                rating of 12.5, which minimal to no vegetation
                                                within proximity of the proposed dwelling. It is
                                                therefore considered that the proposed dwelling is
                                                located on the site in an area that mitigates the
                                                potential adverse impacts of bushfire on people,
                                                property and the environment.
