           •       The site is suitable for the proposed industrial development, as demonstrated by the plans and
                   reports submitted with this development application (refer to Appendices 2-6) and the site is
                   adequately serviced by infrastructure networks (PO1);
           •       As shown in Figure 6 above, the proposed development is relfective of the urban design
                   outcomes provided on adjoining sites. Further, the scale and intensity of the development is
                   similar to the adjoining sites (PO2);
           •       The proposed development provides a bulk and scale that is compatible with surrounding
                   development, comprising a site coverage of only 41.9%, a building height relfective of
                   surrounding built forms and ample setbacks to all boundaries (min 3m up to 10m) (PO2);
           •       The development will accommodate Low Impact Industry uses that contribute to the local
                   economy in a variety of ways, including employment (PO3);
           •       The site does not adjoin a residential zone or the Rural Residential Zone (AO4);
           •       The site is buffered from surrounding rural land by a 30 metre wide vegetated Environmental
                   Management Zone parcel. Further, a 10 metre wide landscape buffer is retained along the rear
                   boundary of the site. Accordingly, the development will not impact the visual amenity of the
                   adjoining non-industrial premises to the south (AO5);
           •       The development approval can be conditioned to comply with AO6.1-AO6.3, PO9, PO10;
           •       The bin store is screened from the street by a purpose built enclosure/front fencing (min 1.8m

                   bicycle spaces provided onsite to accommodate the demand generated by the proposed land
                   uses (AO11); and,
           •       An Extractive Industry is not proposed (PO12-PO37).
