Town Planning Assessment Report

2. Proposal
The proposed development application seeks approval for a Development Permit to Reconfigure a Lot (1
lot into 5 lots) over land at 220 Black Mountain Range Road, Black Mountain.

The proposal will create five (5) rural residential allotments. Proposed Lot 3 will retain the existing dwelling
house and shed, while proposed Lots 1, 2, 4 and 5 will each provide a suitable house site area for the future
establishment of a dwelling house. The proposed lots will each have frontage to Black Mountain Range
Road and will not require the creation of a new road.

The proposed lots will have the following approximate areas:


   Lot No.           Lot Area                     Frontage Width
   Lot 1             4.284ha                      320.92m to Black Mountain Range Road
   Lot 2             2.931ha                      135.26m to Black Mountain Range Road
   Lot 3             3.984ha                      82.97m to Black Mountain Range Road
   Lot 4             3.954ha                      166.91m to Black Mountain Range Road
   Lot 5             7.699ha                      10m to Black Mountain Range Road


Vehicular access will be provided from Black Mountain Range Road. Lot 1 will obtain access from the
western frontage, Lot 2 will obtain access midway along the lot frontage, Lot 3 will retain the existing access
serving the dwelling house, and Lots 4 and 5 will utilise a new 5m wide dual access at the common
boundary between the lots. A Traffic Engineering Assessment Report has been prepared by Modus at
Appendix E which demonstrates that each access is able to accommodate sufficient sight distance and

The subdivision layout responds to the rural residential character of the locality by creating large rural
residential lots with nominated house site areas positioned on suitable cleared and elevated parts of the
land. The proposal retains the existing drainage lines, dams and mapped riparian buffer areas as part of the
broader rural residential landscape and avoids the need for significant earthworks as part of the subdivision
works.

The application is supported by specialist geotechnical, traffic and bushfire reporting. These reports
demonstrate that the proposed lots are capable of accommodating future dwelling houses, vehicular
access, on-site wastewater disposal and appropriate bushfire management measures.

The proposed reconfiguration is shown in Figure 1 below:
