Dear Georgina,

RE:     DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR A RECONFIGURING A LOT FOR SUBDIVISION (1 INTO 5 LOTS)
        UPON LAND AT 83 BUTLER STREET, TEWANTIN

We write to you in relation to the abovementioned development application and Council’s Information
Request dated 8 April 2022.

1. Access Easement and Driveway

The proposed application seeks a subdivision of lots incorporating one rear lot located at the end of Ghostgum
Court, a cul-de-sac street. As identified within Council’s information request, the proposed rear lot does not
achieve the Acceptable Outcome 21.4 of the Reconfiguring a lot code which seeks that ‘No rear lot shares a
common boundary with more than four other lots.’. As such, the proposed subdivision seeks to comply with
the following Performance Outcome PO21 of the Reconfiguring a lot code.

      PO21
      Rear (battle-axe) lots are created only where:-:
      a) it would not be desirable nor practicable for the site to be reconfigured so that all lots have full
          frontage to a road;

The subject site, 83 Butler Street, has a dual frontage of approximately 52m to Butler Street and a frontage
of approximately 26m to the cul-de-sac of Ghostgum Court. As the site is located adjoining a cul-des-sac, it is
not desirable nor practicable for the development to achieve five lots each with a full frontage to the adjoining
streets and subsequently be of an inefficient and unusable lot size and shape inconsistent with the lot
character of the local area.

      b) located in the Low density residential zone, Rural residential zone or Rural zone;

The development site is located within the Low density residential zone and only proposes rear lots within
the Low density residential zone.

      c) development positively contributes to the character of the neighbourhood;

Development for a subdivision proposes lots of a consistent size, shape and character to the existing local
neighbourhood character and supports an increase in dwelling density (i.e. five (5) dwelling lots in lieu of one
