Delegated Report - Code - Planning RAL21 0035 [As Published]

               1.     PROPOSAL
               The proposal is to subdivide the subject lot into 2 lots. The applicant seeks to divide the block in a
               battle axe arrangement resulting in 1 lot behind the other. Proposed Lot 1 is to contain the existing
               dwelling and has an area of 2.567ha. Proposed Lot 2 has an area of 1.824ha with a building
               envelope proposed to ensure development avoids areas subject to flooding and the riparian buffer
               area. An access easement is proposed within lot 1 to provide access for Lot 2 along the northern
               side boundary.
               The applicant proposes an environmental rehabilitation area for 10m either side of the high bank
               of the water way and covers a total area of approximately 0.2 hectares.
               The application was originally reported to the Planning and Environment Committee meeting of 6
               September 2022 with staff recommending refusal of the application due to concerns with the impact
               of flooding on the access to the rear of the house. No formal decision was made on the matter as
               the applicant stopped the decision period to provided further information. The applicant has now
               provided further information relating to flooding and upgrades to access which is considered to
               address staff concerns.
               Following discussions with the Director of Planning (Kim Rawlings) the matter was considered to
               be able to finalised under delegation as no final decision was made at the Council meeting and the
               proposal is now able to be supported.
               The locality and proposal plan are included below.
