Delegated Report - Code - Planning RAL22 0026

               The applicant has suitably demonstrated that both lots are able to accommodate the intended uses
               on the lot without impacting on the ecological values of or the site or creating undue risk to future
               landholders.
               The development complies with both Acceptable outcomes of the Noosa Plan 2020.
               Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands
               AO1.2 Buildings, structures and associated works are located within existing cleared areas or
               areas of lowest ecological value.
               AO2 Where clearing vegetation for the purpose of Reconfiguring a Lot:
                    a) new boundaries to lots do not transect and fragment existing native vegetation;
                    b) new lots are created to allow for suitable building envelopes for future buildings and works
                       to be located within existing cleared areas or areas of low ecological value;
                    c) building envelopes are designated for each lot; and
                    d) ecological linkages and ecologically important areas are secured by environmental
                       covenant or transferred to public ownership or through gazettal of a nature reserve.
               PO2 New lots are only            created   if   they   maintain ecological   linkages and   minimise
               the clearing of vegetation.
               Following completion of the subdivision there will be a portion of vegetation contained within an
               area of biodiversity significance which will be exposed to exempt clearing, an approximate area of
               135m2. The area of potential clearing is considered reasonable due to the extent of rehabilitation
               to be undertaken on site and that the environmental covenant will secure the protection of the
               ecological linkages across the site.
               Landslide Hazard
               A site-specific geotechnical report has been provided and found that the site has a low risk of slope
               instability and is appropriate for further development subject to the recommendations within the
               report (refer to Appendix H – Geotechnical Report). It is requested that a development approval
               be conditioned accordingly to ensure compliance
               Bushfire Hazard
               AO1.1 Development which will materially increase the number of people living or congregating on
               premises, including reconfiguring a lot, is not located within a medium or high bushfire hazard
               area.
               PO1 Development maintains the safety of people and property from the adverse impacts of
               bushfire.
               The proposed subdivision of 1 into 2 lots includes a building envelope on proposed Lot 2 which is
               identified as both potential and medium bushfire hazard. The building envelope achieves a setback
               of 39 metre from the closest hazard vegetation to the southwest, exceeding the minimum setback
               of 29.3 metres as per the Flamesol modelling method. The Plan of Development places an
               acceptable risk of radiant heat to the building envelope. The development is considered to comply
               with the Performance outcome.

               The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers for review and/or comment:
               •      Development Engineer
                      The applicant proposes to subdivide (1 Lot into 2) a property in Black Mountain. Engineering
                      had concerns that the proposed driveway crossovers would result in the creation of unsafe
                      traffic conditions due to their proximity and sight distance concerns. The applicant
