 14.181.1 The overall outcomes are the purpose of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code.
 14.181.2 The overall outcomes sought by the Reconfiguring a Lot Code are to ensure that any reconfiguring of lots results in—
 a) lot sizes and dimensions that are appropriate for their intended use;                    Complies. The rural residential lots are of a lot size that are appropriate for their intended
                                                                                             use.
 b) compatible relationships between land uses;                                               Complies. The development is compatible with surrounding rural residential and

 c) lots with suitable, safe and appropriate access;                                         Complies. The lots will be provided with suitable, safe and appropriate access consistent

 f) provision of safe facilities for walking, cycling and public transport;                  Complies. The development will be provided with pedestrian pathway linkages as per the
