4.2 Planning Scheme Non-Compliances

AO5.4 and AO5.5 of the Rural Residential Zone Code

AO5.4 and AO5.5 of the Rural Residential Zone Code states:

    AO5.4 Individual buildings or roofed structures do not cover more than 500m2 of the site.
    AO5.5 The total gross floor area of all buildings on site does not exceed 500m2.

Response: The development proposes a gross floor area of 674.96m2. Despite this, the proposal is
considered to comply with PO5 of the Rural residential zone code for the following reasons:
    ●​ The proposal is one storey / low rise development;
    ●​ The development site is a rear lot, and will not be viewable from the road;
    ●​ The site contains a number of pockets of vegetation covenants, and as seen in Figure 1 within
       this report, extensive mature vegetation exists that surrounds the proposal, and provides natural
       screening to adjoining premises;
    ●​ The attached Bushfire Attack Level Assessment and Vegetation Clearing Requirements
       correspondence confirms no vegetation clearing is required to achieve BAL-29 construction rating,
       and the proposal seeks to maintain existing natural landforms.

 Acid Sulfate Soils

                                                     The site is mapped containing area 2 acid sulfate
                                                     soils. In accordance with Table 5.9.1, no further
                                                     assessment is required as the proposal does not
                                                     result in 100m3 or more of excavation of material
                                                     at or below 5m AHD.
