Planning Report - 11 Senegal Rise, Doonan

        •   The reduced setback will assist in retaining additional vegetation that would otherwise be
            lost in the large remnant area at the rear of the allotment that adjoins Livistona Park.

        In addition, a reduction in the side setback to the property on the northern boundary is proposed
        to accommodate the shed. The proposed setback at this location is 3m and will be generally
        consistent with the setback of approximately 2.5m adopted by the existing residence on the
        adjacent Lot 121 to the north. This location will enable screening of the new residence from the
        existing residence as well as provision of an acoustic barrier while enabling the retention of
        vegetation along the property boundary and opportunity for supplementary planting to occur
        to facilitate additional screening. The shed will not be visible from the road frontage and will
        comply with setbacks from the road frontage and other allotments.

4.6     LOW DENSITY HOUSING CODE
        In addition to the standard water supply requirements nominated under AO5.2(a) of the Code,
        a 5,000L rainwater tank will be available for bushfire fighting purposes in accordance with
        AO15.1(a) of the Code.

        With regard to Acceptable Outcome AO22.3, a site-specific geotechnical assessment has been
        prepared by a registered professional engineer that certifies that the stability of the site,
        including associated buildings and infrastructure, will be maintained and operational for the life
        of the development and the site is not subject to the risk of landslide activity originating from
        other land, and development of the site will not increase the risk of landslide activity on other
        land. A response to the Low density housing code is provided in Appendix B. A copy of the
        geotechnical assessment has been included as Appendix C.

4.7     BIODIVERSITY, WATERWAYS AND WETLANDS OVERLAY
        The land is shown as being affected by the following matters under the Biodiversity, waterways
        and wetlands overlay:
        ● Matters of State Environmental Significance Values
        ● Area of Biodiversity Significance, and
        ● Riparian Buffer Area

        The outcomes of the ecological assessment confirmed that the proposed development will have
        a limited impact on ecological values identified through the desktop assessment and site
        investigation. The primary impacts that require consideration by Council relate to the loss of
        approximately 2,100m2 of edge-based vegetation, with 300m2 of clearing required to
        accommodate the dwelling house and 1,800m2 of clearing required to provide an appropriate
        bushfire safety setback to the proposed dwelling. The riparian protection buffer is well separated
        from the proposed residence and is not impacted as a result of the current application.
