               Carparking
               The Driveways and Parking Code requires that dwelling houses have a minimum of two covered
               carparking spaces and caretaker’s accommodation have one covered space. The proposal
               includes two covered carparking spaces for the dwelling house but has not specified if carparking
               is to be provided for the caretaker’s. It is considered reasonable to include a condition requiring
               one covered carparking space be provided for the caretaker’s accommodation, in addition to two
               covered spaces for the dwelling.


               Roof Form
               AO15.2 requires that on sloping sites, roofs do not exceed a pitch of 15 degrees. The applicant
               has stated that the proposed dwelling house will have a roof pitch of 20 degrees and as such
               assessment against Performance Outcome PO15 is required.
               PO15
               The landscape character and visual amenity quality of hill slopes and ridgelines are retained and
               buildings and structures:
                   a. are visually responsive to the natural topography of the site, sitting within the landscape
                       rather than dominating it;
                   b. step down slopes or use suspended floor construction, minimising cut and fill and
                       avoiding benching of the site;
                   c. allow for retention of natural vegetation that assists in screening or visually softening
                       development; and
                   d. incorporate materials, finishes and colours that complement the natural setting and
                       integrate with the landscape and skyline.
               The proposal is considered to comply with PO15 as the dwelling house will sit within the landscape
               and will not dominate the area. The dwelling house is not located on a predominant ridgeline and
               will sit within and below the existing vegetation on the site.


               4.     CONSULTATION
               4.1. Referral Agencies
               Not Applicable
               4.2. Internal Council Referrals
               The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers for review and/or comment:
               •      Engineering officer – comments and conditions provided.
               The applicant is proposing to construct a dwelling house and caretakers at Lawnville Road, Black
               Mountain. No works are being proposed to the existing dwelling (future Caretakers
               Accommodation). The location of the proposed dwelling house is encumbered by Council’s
               Landslide Hazard overlay; a Geotechnical investigation has been conducted and report submitted
               to Council.
               The existing access to serve the proposed dwelling house is insufficient and requires extensive
               work to create a functional and safe residential access. The location of the access is located just
               shy of the apex of a stretch of windy road along Cooroy Belli Creek Road. Council had significant
               concerns about the safe ongoing integration of the access to the road network and creating a safe
               access for all road users. The applicant submitted an RPEQ-certified sight distance assessment
               which addressed these concerns.
               Engineering believes the proposed development can achieve relevant compliances and
               recommends the following conditions.
