   5. Provide amended plans that substantially reduce the amount of cut and fill
      proposed on site and provides a development form that is consistent with
      the character of the street.

The relevant Performance Outcomes seek for cuts to have minimal impacts on the natural
landform, with buildings and landscaping consistent with and reflective of the traditional
country town character of Cooroy in terms of form, proportion, composition and use of
materials. The main cuts are located around the outdoor living area of unit 3, so as to
provide for a uniform level for Block A’s construction and access.

As can be seen in the render below, the cuts are all within the site and allows for sufficient
landscaping opportunities at street level, so as to be consistent with the natural character
of the streetscape, whilst also allowing sufficient outdoor living and amenity for the
affordable small dwelling unit. The three block levels slope down the site and allow for
appropriate driveway grade changes and level areas for outdoor living spaces, offering
privacy and amenity to the residents.

The design is an appropriate response to the sloping nature of the site, consistent with the
natural landforms and Cooroy locality.
