          Overall Outcomes                           Compliance

                                        viewed by road users and dwellings in
                                        this area.

                                        The    proposed     facility has   been
                                        appropriately located within a low
                                        density, rural residential area and will
                                        not    adversely    impact   the  Rural
                                        Settlement Zone. The facility has been
                                        intentionally located near the western
                                        property boundary of the subject site to
                                        reduce the disturbance of the site and
                                        to provide greater separation to
                                        dwellings in the area. Furthermore, the
                                        nbn™      compound      will occupy    a
                                        relatively small lease area (120 m²) of
                                        the total 4 hectares of land, which will
                                        prevent the fragmentation of the
                                        potentially productive land, although
                                        the site is not currently used for
                                        agricultural or grazing purposes.

                                        The facility has been intentionally
                                        located on privately owned land for
                                        which an extension to the existing
                                        access is required and will involve
                                        minor vegetation clearing works. The
                                        site access is considered to be
                                        appropriate given the nbn facility will
                                        not be a significant generator of traffic
                                        and is not anticipated to adversely
                                        impact on the surrounding road
                                        network. The proposed facility will also
                                        have restrictions aimed at preventing
                                        public access, including a secured
                                        compound fence with a locked gate and
                                        warning signs placed around the
                                        facility.



For these reasons, the proposal is considered to comply with the overall
outcomes for the Infrastructure Uses Code. Further compliance with the Specific
Outcomes and Probable Solutions for the Infrastructure Uses Code is included in
Appendix 3 – Code Table Assessment.
