4.0 Planning assessment

4.1      Key issues
4.1.1 Reconfiguring a Lot Code

The proposal complies with all the Acceptable Outcomes of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code, with the
new lots being of an appropriate lot size (>1.5ha each) and include an appropriate house site area
of 1,000m2, to accommodate an appropriately shaped rural residential lot. The 1,000m2 house site
areas are appropriately sized to allow for efficient and effective onsite sewerage disposal adjacent
to the new house on lot 7, while lot 8 is serviced by an exiting service.

The lots are appropriately accessed via a shared sealed driveway (4.5m wide easement) and the
additional traffic from the existing access will not adversely affect the functionality of the road
network, whilst allowing for good sightlines and safe ingress/egress without any upgrades to the
driveway.

No filling is required to achieve flood immunity (1% AEP : 2.9m AHD) for the house site areas and is
not constrained by bushfire or require significant clearing of existing vegetation. New lot boundaries
have also been carefully considered to allow for services, utilities and roads to avoid ecologically
important areas.

4.1.2 Flooding Hazard Overlay

The house site and effluent disposal area is located above the minimum 2.9m AHD flood level. No
filling is required to accommodate the house site area, and the driveway access connecting the new
house site area to Lake Cooribah Rd does not traverse any low-lying flood areas.

4.1.3 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay

Large parts of the site are mapped by the Riparian Buffer and Environmental Protection Areas, with
the proposed subdivision establishing a house site area and new boundary that traverses the
overlay.
