               PO20 - Development on sloping sites:
                      a.      is visually responsive to the natural topography and sits within the landscape rather
                              than dominating it;
                      b.      steps down slopes or uses suspended floor construction, minimising cut or fill and
                              avoiding benching of the site;
                      c.      retains natural vegetation that assists in screening or visually softening development;
                              and
                      d.      uses materials, finishes and colours that complement the natural setting and integrate
                              with the landscape and skyline.


               Assessment
               The proposed building works within the sloped topography over the subject site (proposing slab on
               ground foundations) can comply with the Performance Outcome due to the following justification:
               •      the proposed dwelling house extensions and home office additions are predominantly
                      making use of existing buildings for removal and replacement of buildings which have
                      previously been assessed for visual responsiveness to the natural topography and continuity
                      with the landscape. All works remain under the building height limit of 8.0 metres and 2
                      storeys, in addition it is also proposed to maintain the majority of significant matured
                      vegetation around the periphery of the buildings;
               •      The proposed guest/family rooms and garage step down the slope while minimising cut or
                      fill and avoids significant benching of the site to avoid unnecessary amenity impacts;

                                                                                                            Page 11 of 17
