Town Planning Assessment Report

4. Site Details
4.1. Site Description
The subject site comprises Lot 3 on SP258991 and has a total area of approximately 22.8292ha. The site is
bounded by Black Mountain Range Road to the west and south, the Bruce Highway road corridor to the
north, and rural residential properties to the east.

An existing dwelling house is located within the central-southern portion of the site, with a shed located
nearby. The balance of the site generally comprises open grassed paddocks used for rural residential and
pastoral purposes, with scattered vegetation, established drainage lines and several dams located within
the lower parts of the site.

The landform consists of a series of rounded spurs and flank slopes, interspersed with drainage lines that
generally fall to the north. The nominated house site areas are located on cleared and elevated parts of the
land, generally on spur crests or broad flank slopes, and are supported by the findings of the geotechnical
investigation.

Vehicle access is currently provided to the existing dwelling from Black Mountain Range Road. The
proposal will provide separate access arrangements for the proposed lots from Black Mountain Range
Road, as detailed in the traffic engineering material submitted with the application.
