                         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
    1.   The overall outcomes sought for the Reconfiguring a lot code are:
         (a) Development provides for lots that are of a size and have                   The proposed exchange of land area will not affect the continuing existing
               dimensions that are appropriate for their intended use and are            rural uses on the properties. The resultant lot sizes are comparable with lot
               consistent with the sizes of surrounding lots.                            sizes in the surrounding area
         (b) Development provides for lots which are responsive to local                 No changes to existing landform proposed
               character and site constraints such that the natural landform is not
               modified.
         (c) Development avoids significant adverse effects on the natural               The changed boundary respects existing site constraints by avoiding
               environment and landscape including waterways, drainage lines,            vegetation and watercourses
               wetlands and other ecologically important areas.
         (d) Provides for a diverse mix of residential lot sizes and configurations to   Existing residences to remain
               cater for different housing options.
         (e) Development provides for subdivisions that result in the creation of
               safe and healthy communities by:
         (i)        avoiding or mitigating the risk to people and property from          (i) no increase of risk or hazards to people and/or property
                    natural hazards;
         (ii)       ensuring lots have a suitable and safe means of access to a          (ii) Existing easement access direct to Gumboil Road is retained
                    public road;
         (iii)      incorporating a road and transport network that is responsive to,    (iii) N/A
                    and integrated with, the natural topography of the site, is
                    integrated with existing or planned adjoining development and
                    supports the circulation of public transport;
                                                                                                                                  Appendix 4 – Planning Scheme Code Responses
