Planning Report - 11 Senegal Rise, Doonan

            adjoins an access handle servicing the two rural residential properties to the north, and this
            supports a dense screen of vegetated which separates the property from the shared
            driveway, and in effect, creates a greater setback distance for the proposed alfresco area
            and dwelling from usable land to the east
        •   A 10 metre setback will be retained from the southern property boundary
        •   While the residence will retain a setback in excess of 10 metres from the western boundary,
            the proposed shed will be located 3 metres from the northern boundary to capitalise on the
            flatter topography and to assist in screening the neighbouring residence from the proposed
            residence. A garden is proposed between the shed and the northern boundary for additional
            screening, as the neighbour’s house is located 3m off the shared property boundary.

        Floor plans and elevations of the proposed residence as well as elevations of the proposed shed
        are included as Appendix A to this report. An assessment of the proposed dwelling against the
        prescribed standards in the Rural Residential Zone Code and the Low-Density Housing Code has
        been included in Appendix B.

3.2     VEGETATION CLEARING
        The proposed dwelling is to be located within the existing cleared area towards the north-
        eastern extent of the property (refer to Figure 6). A Bushfire Hazard Assessment completed for
        the site confirms the requirement for a minimum clear zone of 28m to be provided between the
        proposed dwelling and the bushland to the west and south. In addition, a small area
        (approximately 300m2) of vegetation will require clearing to accommodate the building.

        Ultimately, approximately 2,100m2 of vegetation clearing is required along the edge of the
        onsite vegetation unit to accommodate a 28m wide Bushfire Asset Protection Zone as required
        to safely locate the new dwelling and comply with bushfire requirements.

3.3     SITE ACCESS
         Vehicle access will be achieved from the cul-de-sac associated with Senegal Rise.

3.4     SERVICES
        The proposed development will utilise rainwater tanks for potable water supply. Additional
        water supply will be provided to be used in the event of a bushfire.

        Sewage generated on site will be treated by an onsite domestic wastewater treatment plant.

        Energex electrical infrastructure is present within the road corridor and will be extended to
        service the site.
