Delegated Report - Code - Planning RAL26 0021 (As Published)

               While the site is affected by the Biodiversity Overlay (refer to figure 3), the proposal maintains the
               existing rural and vegetated character of the land and does not introduce additional development
               pressure. The existing large lot configuration will be retained, and both lots will continue to operate
               in their current form.
               On this basis, the proposed boundary realignment satisfies the intent of AO2, as the proposal does
               not result in clearing, fragmentation of native vegetation or disruption to ecological linkages.

               Acceptable Outcome AO1.2 of the Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code seeks: AO1.2 Development
               maximises setbacks from hazardous vegetation to achieve an acceptable risk.
               Assessment
               The subject site is impacted by the Bushfire Hazard Overlay, including areas mapped as high and
               medium potential bushfire intensity and potential impact buffer. The overlay applies to parts of the
               sites due to the location of significant vegetation. See Figure 4 for reference.

               The proposal is limited to a boundary realignment between two existing lots and does not involve
               the development of any additional lots, new buildings or intensification of the existing land use. No
               operational works, vegetation clearing, fencing or changes to access are proposed as part of the
               application.
               As no new buildings or structures are proposed, the development will not introduce additional
               people, habitable buildings or vulnerable uses into areas of bushfire hazard. The existing bult form,
               access arrangements and separation distances from hazardous vegetation will remain unchanged.
               The proposed realignment will therefore not increase bushfire risk beyond the existing situation.
               The proposal satisfies AO1.2, as the development does not reduce setbacks to hazardous
               vegetation, does not increase exposure to bushfire hazard and does not impact the ability of the
               existing lots to manage bushfire risk.
