 Landslide Hazard overlay                            As per the Geotechnical report at Attachment 5,
                                                     the proposed dwelling is situated in a mapped
                                                     moderate hazard area of the site. The proposed
                                                     design of the dwelling ensures that the site has a

                                                     proposed        access,    topography,  geological
                                                     conditions, drainage and location of the dwelling.
                                                     The proposed dwelling, stormwater system and
                                                     effluent disposal will not adversely impact upon
                                                     site stability or adjoining properties.

                                                     mapped waterways or riparian buffer shown on
                                                     the site.




Assessment – The proposed development is considered appropriate for the subject site as a site responsive
design as supported by the technical reports.

4.1.5   Development Codes

There are a number of planning scheme codes triggered for the assessment of this application. A general
summation of how the proposal complies with the key outcomes of the relevant codes is discussed below.

    a) Rural Zone Code – The proposal has been assessed against the relevant overall outcomes of rural
       zone code and is considered to reflect a consistent and desirable development outcome for the
       land. It is noted that the dwelling house is situated within 200m from land on an adjacent rural
       property, however due to the environmental constraints of the land the proposed location for the
       dwelling is deemed appropriate.

    b) Low Density Housing Code – The proposed dwelling has been assessed against the relevant overall
       outcomes of the low-density housing code and is considered to be appropriately located, achieve
       a high level of comfort and amenity, provide a sustainable design and is compatible with the
       character of the surrounding area.

    c) Secondary Codes – The proposed dwelling is considered to be site responsive and provide a high
       level of safety, security and amenity to residents while also providing an acceptable level of
       infrastructure and services that will not adversely impact upon the environment.
