PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT REPORT - RAL22/0027 - Final Report

4.       CONSULTATION
4.1. Referral Agencies
Not applicable
4.2. Internal Council Referrals
The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers:
•        Senior Environment Officer – as contained in the report.
5.       CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The application for the reconfiguration of 1 lot into 2 lots is not supported as the proposed lot sizes
are contrary to the existing character within Satinay Drive and the surrounding residential estate.
Due to significant bushfire risk separation is required from the hazardous vegetation on the
adjoining land, the proposed separation is not sufficient as it relies on other landowners (QPWS &
Council) maintaining a firebreak. The resultant building envelope achieved with the required
separation distances is not being sufficiently sized to accommodate a dwelling footprint.
Furthermore, the proposal results in an increase in the number of people and properties at risk
from bushfire.
The application is therefore recommended for refusal.
