An ecological assessment is included with the application, which identifies the State and Local
ecological values on the site. The proposed house site area for lot 7 requires minor/selective removal
of native trees, however the report concludes that the design achieves minimal environmental
impact. The location of the house site area is included below and is in an existing disturbed area with
the lowest ecological values, with the development commensurate with strategic planning intent for
the site and will not have an unacceptable environmental impact.

The proposed house site and boundary has been located to maintain ecological linkages and
minimise the clearing of vegetation in accordance with Performance Outcome PO2 of the Overlay
Code. A Rehabilitation Plan is also included to achieve ongoing protection and enhancement of
environmental values to ensure the long term environmental integrity of the designated areas on the
site, including:
       - Retention and protection of all trees;
       - Weed management; and
       - Revegetation planting.

The proposal protects riparian areas and removes pest species on the site ensuring for the
rehabilitation of ecologically important areas adjoining Lake Cooribah. The design meets the relevant
Purpose and Overall Outcomes of the Code.
