    That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment
    Committee Meeting dated 8 June 2021 regarding Application No. RAL20/0019 for a
    Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 2 lots), situated at 23 Jirrima Crescent,
    Cooroibah and:
    A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
         1.     The proposal is not consistent with the 8.2.2.2 (1), (2)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g)
                and (i), Acceptable Outcomes AO6.1, AO6.2 and PO6 of the Biodiversity,
                Waterways and Wetlands Overlay as:
                a.    The proposal results in development within the Riparian Buffer Area, with the
                      proposed lot boundaries traversing the buffer area.
                b.    The proposal seeks to enhance, rehabilitate and protect only part of the
                      identified Riparian Buffer Area.
                c.    The proposed development increases the scale and intensity of development
                      within and adjacent to an ecologically important area which has the potential
                      to adversely impact on the site’s ecological values.
                d.    The proposal has the potential to result in additional clearing of vegetation in
                      the Riparian Buffer Area due to the vegetation clearing exemptions permitted
                      by the Planning Regulation 2017 and the planning scheme for lot boundaries
                      and fencing.
         2.     The proposal is not consistent with 9.5.1.2 (1) (d) and (e) and Overall Outcomes
                2(b),(c), Acceptable Outcome AO7.5, AO7.7 and AO7.9 and Performance
                Outcome PO7 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code as:
                a.    The development does not provide for a lot layout that is responsive to the
                      natural environmental values present on the site.
                b.    The proposed lot boundaries traverse ecologically important areas and
                      ecological linkages.
                c.    The proposed environmental covenant area is only proposed over part of the
                      Riparian Buffer area and will not provide suitable protection to this
                      ecologically important area.
    B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
