PO2: Protection of Residential Amenity (Noise, Privacy, Light Spill)

  ●​ Assessment: Potential amenity impacts are comprehensively addressed through the
     proposed management plan and inherent site characteristics.
         ○​ Noise: Strict quiet hours will be enforced and an appointed property manager will
             be contactable 24/7 and located within 20 km of the site, ensuring rapid response
             to complaints or issues. The generous setbacks and natural buffers on the
             property minimise sound transmission to adjacent properties.
         ○​ Privacy: The existing dwelling's orientation and landscaping provide adequate
             privacy from neighbours. Guest guidelines will reinforce respectful behaviour
             regarding privacy.
         ○​ Light Spill: Exterior lighting will be minimal, downward-facing, and strategically
             placed to ensure no light spill impacts neighbouring properties or the rural night
             sky.
  ●​ Outcome Achieved: Robust management strategies and the physical attributes of the
     site ensure that the amenity of surrounding residential properties is protected.

PO3: Adequate Parking and Vehicle Access

  ●​ Assessment: Positive. The property provides ample on-site parking for all guests, with
     capacity for 4 vehicles. This ensures no parking overflow onto public roads, which is
     particularly important in a rural setting where road shoulders may be limited. Vehicle
     access to the property is via an existing, well-maintained driveway directly from a public
     road, ensuring safe ingress and egress.
  ●​ Outcome Achieved: Sufficient and safe vehicle accommodation is provided on-site,
     preventing adverse impacts on the local road network or neighbourhood amenity.

PO4: Appropriate Scale and Intensity

  ●​ Assessment: Positive. The proposed STA is limited to the existing dwelling house and a
     maximum of 6 guests, which is a modest scale for a property of 5 acres. This ensures
     the intensity of use remains consistent with a large residential property rather than a
     high-density commercial venture. The proposal does not involve new construction that
     would alter the existing scale of the dwelling.
  ●​ Outcome Achieved: The scale and intensity of the proposed STA are appropriate for
     the rural context, avoiding over-development or undue pressure on local resources.

PO5: Management of Waste and Services

  ●​ Assessment: A comprehensive waste management plan will be implemented, including
     secure, lidded bins for general waste and recycling, with regular collection schedules.
     Existing services (rainwater tanks, solar electricity, onsite wastewater treatment are
     adequate for the proposed use, which is consistent with typical residential demands.
  ●​ Outcome Achieved: The proposal demonstrates effective management of waste and
     services, ensuring no adverse environmental or public health impacts.
