RE: Response to Information Request for Application to Reconfigure a Lot — 2 Lots
into 6 Lots REC14/0009 Stage 6

In response to the Information Request dated 17 July 2014 the following details are offered
(Council information request items in italics):

Planning

1. Please provide the applicant’s intentions for vegetation rehabilitation and Park
dedication should stage 3 be deferred or never occur.

Response:

Please refer to enclosed staged revegetation plans 1225-89a, and 1225-90a which show
revegetation extents for stage 5 and 6. The stage 5 and 6 works will be to revegetate the
eastern watercourse.

Stage 3 will be future works to western watercourse.

Max Watterson has prepared Park dedication plans which will be included in this information
request response.

Ecology

2. Provide an amended plan that meets the provisions of the Biodiversity Overlay Code.

Response:

The creek adjacent Stage 5 and 6 is partly mapped as Riparian Buffer Area on the
Biodiversity Overlay map 3.1, which is shown on plan 1225-89a.

e It is proposed to dedicate 10m from top of bank along this watercourse for its whole
length to ensure the biodiversity values of the watercourse are maintained. One
exception is adjacent to lot 15 which has a narrower width of 7.5m over 25m. This
has been offset by increasing the dedication to 20m next to lot 16 and extending a
10m wide zone 70m south of the Biodiversity Overlay map 3.1. Please refer
revegetation plan 1225-89a which shows extents of proposed planting as shaded
areas.

e It is proposed to rehabilitate 10m either side from the top of bank for part of this
watercourse and 5m either side from the invert for the part of the watercourse which
is not mapped as Riparian Buffer Area. This additional area is shown in relation to
