A review of the applicable State interests has been carried out with respect to the State Assessment and
Referral Agency’s (SARA) DA Mapping and the Planning Regulation 2017. A review of Schedule 10 of the
Planning Regulation 2017 confirms that the development application is NOT required to be referred to
SARA.

 Codes required to be addressed        Low Density Housing Code
                                       Landslide Hazard Overlay Code

Code Assessment of the Development Application is required to be carried out, due to the proposal
being unable to comply with all the Acceptable Outcomes of the Rural Residential Zone Code. As such, a
comprehensive assessment against the areas of non-compliance with the Zone Code is provided below.

It is noted that the proposed Dwelling House complies in full with the Low Density Housing Code.
Therefore, no further assessment against this Code is required. Further, in accordance with Part 5.9
(Categories of development and assessment – Overlays) of the Planning Scheme, the only Overlay Code
that is required to be assessed is the Landslide Hazard Overlay Code, due to the following:

     •      The Biodiversity Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code is not required to be assessed as it is not
            required to undertake any vegetation clearing onsite; and,
     •      The Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code is not assessable for Dwelling House development. Further, any new
            Dwelling will be assessed for bushfire safety and nominated a minimum BAL for construction at
            Building Certificaiton stage.

Whilst generally demonstrating compliance with the Acceptable Outcomes of the Zone Code and
Landslide Hazard Overlay Code, some minor variances are proposed, requiring additional assessment
against the corresponding Performance Outcomes. Where the below sections are silent in relation to an
assessable element, the development is seen to comply with that relevant assessment criteria and no
