are not currently used and predominately not suitable for agricultural land use. The property on the east is a larger lot
that is used for farming/grazing.

Performance Outcome PO2 seeks that ‘Development does not result in the loss or diminished productive capacity of
Agricultural Land Conservation Area’, further Performance Outcome PO8 seeks that environmental harm or nuisance
to sensitive land uses is avoided.
In this regard, it is noted that the proposed dwelling is similar in nature to the existing adjacent dwellings and shed
structures on Sankeys Road, including 187, 179, 177, and 167 Sankeys Road. Consequently, the proposed dwelling will
not diminish the productive capacity of agricultural land and is unlikely (or no more likely than adjacent dwellings) to
experience environmental harm or nuisance from agricultural activities.
The proposed development is deemed to satisfy Performance Outcomes PO2 and PO8 of the Rural Zone Code.



6.2.2 Acceptable Outcome AO8.4 – Setbacks
Acceptable Outcome AO8.4 relates to buildings and structures meeting minimum boundary setbacks. The benchmark
is listed below:
   AO8.4 (d) – 10 metres from the side and rear boundaries.
The dwelling house and awning / shelter meet the requirements of PO8 as demonstrated in Table 6-3 above.
The shed contains a rear boundary setback of 4.6 metres as mentioned in Section 4.2 above. This location has been
chosen as a best fit outcome given the existing constraints of the electrical easement, access easement and riparian
buffer zone. The location and orientation of the shed provides the best compromise while balancing the impacts on
items a) to d) of PO8 (setbacks).
The reduced setback is considered to have nil impact on the adjacent property as the property is heavily vegetated in
that area. The dwelling on the adjacent property is approximately 250m from the proposed shed and there is no
visibility between the dwelling and the proposed shed.
The location is deemed to satisfy the intent of PO8 (Setbacks).



6.2.3 Acceptable Outcome AO15.3 – Sloping Sites and Ridgelines
Acceptable Outcome AO15.3 relates to development on sloping sites and ridgelines. The benchmark is listed below:
   AO15.3 – Cut or fill is less than 1.5 metres in depth relative to natural ground surface.
