     a) the creation of regular lots is impractical such as at a
          curve in the road or because of topographical
          constraints;
     b) safe access and visual exposure to and from
          the site can be provided, while not adversely
          impacting on the functionality of the surrounding
          road network;
     c) it is desirable to avoid clearing of vegetation and the
          fragmentation of habitat in ecologically important
          areas; and
     d) the irregular lot is demonstrably suitable for its
          intended purpose.
