9.5.1 Reconfiguring a Lot Code
Purpose and Overall Outcomes Response
The purpose of the Reconfiguring a lot code is to ensure that development:
(a) results in lots that are appropriate for their intended use; The lot will remain as rural zone lots
(b) contributes to a high standard of amenity; No changes to existing amenity
(c) results in lots that are consistent with the desired character of the The lots will remain consider with the existing established character of the
local area ensuring high quality urban design outcomes; surrounding area
(d) is responsive to site constraints; The changed boundary respects existing site constraints by avoiding
vegetation and watercourses
(e) maintains or improves environmental values and avoids adverse off- The existing environmental values of the properties are maintained and
site environmental impacts; there are no adverse off-site environmental impacts
(f) provides lawful, safe and practical access arrangements; and The layout provides for ongoing access along Hamersley Lane
(g) provides infrastructure and services to new lots. No changes to existing infrastructure and services

(a) Development provides for lots that are of a size and have The proposed exchange of land area will not affect the continuing existing

Editor’s Note— On visually prominent hill slopes or
ridgelines residential buildings should be
predominantly finished in colours and materials
that blend well with the colours and hues of the
surrounding vegetation and landscape without
causing glare or reflection. Broad expanses of a
single colour are less desirable and where
possible should be broken up by other colours or
design elements. Shades in the violet, blue, green
and yellow-green side of the spectrum, as well as
greys or browns, should be appropriate with
whites or bright colours restricted to trimmings.
For agricultural buildings, colours and textures
that blend with the natural setting are preferred
however if not practical, buildings should at least
be well maintained and/or visually screened.
