It is relevant to note the Cooroy Local Plan Code Performance Outcome PO17 seeks that where
a development is undertaken on a property with a laneway frontage and access is not taken, a 2m
wide easement for a public thoroughfare is provided for future widening or upgrading purposes. In
this instance the development is not taking access from Diamond Lane and has provided a 2m
wide landscaping strip which excludes a 0.5m bioswale along Diamond Lane suitable for an
easement. A condition is recommended to provide a public thoroughfare easement in accordance
with the planning scheme.

5.1. Referral Agencies
The application was referred to the following Referral Agencies:

conditions requiring a median strip and a left in left out access.
