outcomes apply to:

 a)   development on land in a koala priority area, where the
      development does not interfere with koala habitat and
      where the benchmarks are additional to and not inconsistent
      with, the assessment benchmarks stated in schedule 11, part
      2 of the Planning Regulations 2017; and
 b)   development on land outside the koala priority area, where
      the development does not interfere with koala habitat in
      koala habitat areas.

Bushfire management measures are adopted based on                      No acceptable outcome provided   No clearing of vegetation will be required to maintain safety for
ecological principles, which:                                                                           people and property for bushfire purposes.

 a)   maintain and enhance biodiversity;
 b)   minimise threat of fire to the natural environment, as well as
      life and property; and
 c)   provide for effective use and maintenance of buildings and
      structures.

Editor's note—The performance outcome applies to properties in
bushfire hazard areas and only where clearing is reasonably
necessary for the control of bushfire risk to a building or
structure. Bushfire hazard areas are shown on Bushfire Hazard
Overlay maps in Schedule 2.
