                 •         Low Density Residential Zone Code
                 •         Low Density Housing Code
                 5.         REASONS FOR THE DECISION

                 The reasons for this decision are:
                 •         The application was properly made and followed the process set down in the
                           Development Assessment Rules in effect at the time the application was properly made.
                 •         The application was assessed against the Applicable Benchmarks identified in this
                           Notice.
                 •         The assessment manager found that, subject to the imposition of development
                           conditions contained in the Decision Notice, the development was approved despite
                           non-compliance with particular Assessment Benchmarks for the reasons further
                           described in this Notice.
                 The detailed assessment and reasons for this decision are provided in the assessment
                 manager’s report, to request a copy of the report please email [email protected]

                 6.         REASONS FOR APPROVAL DESPITE NON-COMPLIANCE WITH ASSESSMENT
                            BENCHMARKS

                 The development has been assessed against the applicable assessment benchmarks for
                 Accepted Development subject to requirements, specifically:
                       •    AO16.2 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code (Rooftop Terrace); and
                       •    AO22.1 of the Low Density Housing Code (Landslide Hazard).
                 A change to the previously approved rooftop terrace has been proposed. The amendment
                 reduces the overall rooftop terrace area, which in turn lessens any potential visual or amenity
                 impacts. The reduced scale improves alignment with AO16.2, and the design is considered
                 capable of achieving compliance through the conditions imposed.
                 The site is also subject to potential landslide hazard constraints. To ensure compliance with
                 AO22.1, conditions have been included requiring appropriate landslide hazard management
                 measures to be provided as part of the building approval process.
                 On this basis, the development is able to comply subject to conditions, and the imposed
                 conditions adequately address the identified matters to ensure the proposal meets the relevant
                 assessment benchmarks.
