 Flood Hazard Overlay Code

 Comment

 Portions of the site, including areas within the proposed building footprint, are identified as being subject to
 flood inundation, as shown in Figure 6 above. A flood search certificate confirms that the 1% Annual
 Exceedance Probability (AEP) level—defined as the Defined Flood Event (DFE)—is 107.2m AHD. In
 accordance with applicable flood planning controls, the minimum finished floor level for development on
 the site is DFE + 0.3m, or 107.5m AHD.

 The proposed storeroom addition will be constructed at a floor level consistent with the existing shop,
 which is approximately 107.2m AHD.

 It is submitted that the proposal satisfies Performance Outcome PO1 of the applicable Flood Hazard
 Overlay Code, as it will maintain the safety of people and minimise risk to property in the event of a DFE,
 for the following reasons:
