Information Request Response

Additional landscaping & planting has also been incorporated into the current proposal, in accordance with the
attached plans.

INFORMATION REQUIRED
2.   Amend the application to include a request for a development permit for clearing
     vegetation identified as an area of biodiversity significance on a Biodiversity, Waterways and
     Wetlands Overlay Map for the existing shed site.



APPLICANT’S RESPONSE

In accordance with the response to item 1 above, the building approval for the existing shed – (Council reference
– PC23/0700) required written confirmation from the property owner’s that no clearing of vegetation was required
to accommodate the construction of the shed; A written response that no clearing was required under the building
footprint of the shed was provided and therefore a development permit for clearing within the overlay was not
sought. Any additional vegetation clearing undertaken outside the building footprint may have been completed
under exempt clearing provisions or other reasons we are unsure of. Project BA would like to request a
development permit for the retrospective clearing of vegetation for the existing shed site. See attached revised
planning report to reflect this request.

The aerial image below (Figure 1) demonstrates an approximate 10m perimeter around the existing shed site for
areas subject to exempt clearing (outlined in green). As mentioned above, the owner’s advised there was always
a natural clearing where the shed is positioned and a section of the restropective clearing involved the removal of
Lantana & deadwood to faciliate construction. The owner’s are unaware of the type & species of any additional
clearing that may have been undertaken for the shed site.
