     The site has gentle slopes with a minor ridge that falls away from Elm Street towards the east
     and north east.


     There are two minor watercourses on the site. The site is basically a self-contained
     catchment with limited external contributing areas.


     The site is sparsely vegetated with a number of stands of trees and shrubs near the site
     boundaries and adjacent to one of the farm dams. The site is not identified as having any
     remnant vegetation or of-concern vegetation and does not form part of any defined wildlife
     corridors.

2.3 Site Analysis

     An assessment of the site was undertaken generally in accordance with the guidelines set
     out in PSP 10 – Site Analysis Plans.


     A summary of the constraints and opportunities are highlighted on the following figure.

     The site is generally orientated to the north with local and distant views.


     Whereas the site has frontage to three roads, access is proposed to be limited to two points.


     The principal access is to be taken from Trading Post Road with a secondary access for
     service vehicles and staff at the care facility being provided off Lamonts Road.

     The site adjoins Elm Street which in turn adjoins the North Coast Rail Corridor. Whereas
     noise levels are not excessive, low background readings indicate that noise attenuation
     measures will need to be provided to meet DMR and QR standards.


     Preliminary soil testing did not reveal any major issues for the type of proposed uses.


     There are no identifiable environmental constraints applicable to the site.


     In summary the investigations did not reveal any significant constraints or issues for the
     proposed development on the site.


     The master plan has been prepared having regard to the identified constraints and
     opportunities.
