               The application does not include detail regarding the ongoing operation and management of the
               short-term accommodation use. Therefore, Council requested an operational management plan
               for the proposed short-term accommodation.
               In response, the applicant indicted these matters would be addressed in the Short Stay Letting
               Local Law approval process.
               Item - On-site Servicing (Effluent and Water Supply)
               Council sought certainty that the existing potable water supply and on site waste water system
               could accommodate the short term accommodation use.
               In response, the applicant indicated given the small scale of the proposed short term
               accommodation, being a single bedroom, the existing service provisions will be sufficient
               Item – Bushfire Safety
               Council requested conformation that the proposed short-term accommodation use does not alter
               the bushfire classification of the site or introduce additional applicable building requirements for
               the dwelling. Also, provide a site-specific Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Plan
               In response the applicant provided an assessment by North Coast Environmental Services
               indicating that the change from dwelling to Short term accommodation does not change the
               bushfire classification and risk therefore a Management Plan is not required
