               2.     APPLICATION BACKGROUND
               The application sets out to address the conditions of the higher order approval
               (132001.210127.04).
               As part of the higher order approval, Council and the applicant entered an Infrastructure Agreement
               for the construction and ongoing maintenance of the existing fire access trail that is currently
               utilised and maintained by the aged care operator.
               Council is concurrently assessing a separate Operational Works application for Landscaping
               (OPW24/0196).

               The subject site has operated as an Aged Care Facility since approximately 2005. The existing
               development approval has been ‘changed’ four (4) times. Following Council’s most recent decision
               to approve a partial redevelopment of the site, additional conditions were imposed to maintain
               continuity across the entirety of the development, particularly relating to stormwater quality.

               The subject site:
               •      is screened with vegetation from Cooyar Street and adjoining lots;
               •      generally grades to the north-east towards Giraween National Park; and
               •      gains ingress from Cooyar Street.
               3.3. Surrounding Land Uses
               The subject site adjoins an existing parcel of land owned by Council used as a fire access trail.
