               2.     SITE DETAILS
               2.1. Site Description
               The site is relatively flat with a small watercourse intersecting the site in a north south direction.
               The eastern portion of the lot is mostly cleared with grassed paddocks with the western portion
               sparsely vegetated with predominant regrowth wattle and melaleuca.
               An existing access easement (for access to the telecommunications infrastructure on the
               neighbouring lot to the north) and internal track provides access from the road frontage towards
               the east of the lot. This access crosses the waterway, however the existing access has not been
               designed to provide access during potential flood events as access to the telecommunications
               infrastructure is infrequent and unlikely to be needed during such events.
               2.2. Surrounding Land Uses
               Surrounding premises are semi-rural in nature featuring open paddocks and partially vegetated
               areas. Neighbouring properties feature detached houses and rural settlement/ rural lifestyle blocks
               with associated outbuildings. The property to the west is a heavily vegetated public reserve. The
               property to the north has recently been subdivided, the application was refused by Council with a
               negotiated approval issued during the associated appeal. The settlement included the provision of
               a covenant area extending over a significant extent of the riparian buffer.
               3.     ASSESSMENT
