 Design
 PO12 compliance: The proposal’s relative small size compared with dwellings and structures
 existing in its surrounds mean that it will not be a major stand out in the immediate context.
 There are no large walls and the majority of equipment is below the top of the mount for the
 satellite dish which is 1.8 metres high.
 PO13: No garage or carport is associated with the proposal.
 PO14: No basement is associated with the proposal.
 PO15 compliance: Existing driveway access exists and there is plenty of area for vehicle
 manoeuvering.
 PO16: No roof is associated with the proposal.
 Safety and amenity
 PO17 compliance: The proposal includes fencing which will ensure the site’s safety and will
 not impede existing openness of the surrounds. Lighting is not required.
 PO18: Not a sports court.
 Environment, heritage and scenic amenity
 PO19 compliance: Erosion and sediment controls will be implemented prior to the
 commencement of any construction works and will be maintained throughout the construction
 phase to manage potential run off, water and air quality during construction.
 PO20 compliance: the proposal is not on a sloping site.
 Earthworks and drainage
 PO21 compliance: The proposal will immediately reinstate all sediment that is temporarily
 extracted to install the required structural footings. No external soil or sediment will be
 introduced to the existing vegetation.


4.3.1.2 Bushfire Overlay

The facility will be located in the Bushfire Overlay – Potential Impact Buffer. The purpose of the
Bushfire Hazard overlay code is to ensure that development avoids or mitigates the potential
adverse impacts of bushfire on people, property, economic activity and the environment. The
proposed facility will be located in an existing Telstra lot in the south west corner, with the majority
of the facility actually outside of the overlay area. Figure 4 shows the proposal’s location within
the context of the bushfire overlay. Given the location near the edge of the marked overlay area
and for the avoidance of any doubt, compliance is show in the below table.

 Table 8.2.3.3 Performance outcomes and acceptable outcomes for assessable
 development
 Safety of people and property
 PO1 compliance: The proposal will not add any further risk to the existing fire danger.
 Communications infrastructure adds an additional safety layer for usage in a time of disaster
 such as during a bushfire event.
 Impacts on Ecologically Important Areas
 PO2 compliance: Due to the small scale of the proposal and its location on a previous cleared
 lot, there is no impact on areas of ecological importance.
 Water Supply for Fire Fighting Purposes
 PO3 compliance: Water supply will not be impacted by the proposal.
 Essential Community Infrastructure
 PO4 compliance: The proposal is defined as essential community infrastructure (as it is a
 communications facility) and will be utilised during and immediately after bushfire events.
