585_Planning Report

IPS REF: 585

Assessment – The proposed development is considered to be consistent with the intent for the land as
nominated within the relevant aspects of the Planning Scheme, including the rural zoning designation and
all relevant planning scheme codes and requirements. Necessary comprehensive technical information as
discussed in Section 3.4 of this report demonstrates the proposed development furthers the planning
scheme intent and is a suitable outcome for the site.

4.2     Alternative Solutions

Some alternative solutions to the relevant development codes requiring assessment are proposed by this
development application for MCU (dwelling house) as detailed in Table 7 below:

Table 7: Alternative solutions to assessable development codes
 Development Code                                    Applicant Response
 Rural Zone Code                                     As discussed above, the dwelling house is situated
 AO2.4: No sensitive land use is established closer within 200m from land on an adjacent rural
 than 200 metres from land on an adjacent property, however due to the environmental
 property included in the Rural zone and mapped constraints of the land the proposed location for
 as Agricultural Land Conservation Area as shown in the dwelling is deemed appropriate.
 Agricultural Land Overlap Maps in schedule 2.
                                                     This proposed location is the most unconstrained
 AO8.5: On properties over 2 hectares in area, a area of the site, that will not require any loss of
 distance of not less than 200 metres is provided natural habitat, interference with waterways or
 between a sensitive land use and land on an large amounts of vegetation clearing. The
 adjacent rural zone property over 4 hectares in proposed site cover for the dwelling is less than
 mapped Agricultural Land Conservation Area          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 site.
 Low Density Housing Code                            As per the attached Geotechnical report, the
 AO22.1: Development, including associated proposed dwelling is situated in a mapped
 access, is not located on land identified as a moderate hazard area of the site. The proposed
 landslide hazard area on a Landslide Hazard design of the dwelling ensures that the site has a
 Overlay Map.                                        very low risk of instability, in relation to the
                                                     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.

Assessment – The proposed variances detailed above provide an appropriate outcome that will not
adversely impact upon the proposed development or adjoining properties.
