       j) …
       k) the orientation of the allotments is set given the minor nature of the development and the
          location, with the extension to the dwelling already established on the land, which will be used
          for detached housing, consistent with the Detached Housing Zone;
       l) the proposed development is entirely consistent with the developed character of its
          neighbourhood;
       m) … .

Having regard to the above, the proposed development complies with the relevant overall outcomes
and meets the purpose of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code.

With respect to Table 14-66, the following comments are made about the most relevant specific
outcomes:

Lot Size and Dimensions:
O1 Lots have the appropriate area and dimensions for:
   a) the intended use is for Detached Housing with minor building work being proposed. The
       existing structures have adequate building setbacks, private open space and on site
       manoeuvring for vehicles. While the proposed allotments technically do not meet the
       minimum allotment size of 800m² under Table 14-68, the allotment sizes are well above the
       minimum lot size of 600m² for the Detached Housing Zone, contain existing buildings and are
       adequate for the intended use as a Detached House;
   b) while proposed Lot 1 is not above the 1% AEP localised flood level:
           i.  the extension to the dwelling, this being the house site area 3 for the proposed
               Detached House, is located above the 1% AEP flood level, which is existing;
          ii.  the existing house site area (extension to the dwelling) is sufficient for the intended use
               containing habitable and non-habitable areas, is serviced by an adequate access
               driveway and provides for ancillary works including a swimming pool, play and
               recreation area (outdoor living area) and lockable storage in the garage (refer
               Attachment 2). Further, with the construction of open channel area as shown on the
               proposal plans in accordance with Option 1 (refer Attachment 4) also provides for a
               useable open space area beside the proposed dwelling;
         iii.  the works proposed (in accordance with Option 1), including construction of a fenced
               open channel area, the raising of the access driveway with box culverts, the erection of
               pool fencing to the east of the extension, and the modifications proposed to the
               elevated walkway, minimise the risk to people and property. These works substantially
               improve the level of risk to residents and visitors of the existing and proposed dwelling;
               and
         iv.   the provision of a covenant on the title of proposed Lot 1 makes new owners aware of
               the flooding impacts and aware of the ongoing maintenance responsibilities;
   c) the development proposed is not a community title;
