Project Urban – 15228                                                                              June 2016



arrangement over the existing situation in terms of accessibility and would have a negligible impact on
safety, amenity and convenience. The proposal therefor complies with specific outcome O7.

S9.1 Where there is no relevant approved master plan, concept plan, or site analysis plan,
subdivision design incorporates future road, street, cycleway and pedestrian path and open space
connections to adjoining sites.

Alternative Solution – While the proposal includes a cul-de-sac and does not provide for a traffic
movement connection with the adjoining land, a pedestrian pathway connection is provided. The proposed
cul-de-sac arrangement is supported from a traffic engineering perspective as detailed in the attached
Traffic Engineering Advice prepared by Pekol Traffic and Transport. The proposal facilitates an appropriate
linkage to the adjoining site in accordance with specific outcome O9.

S29.1 Lands with high biodiversity values are transferred to public ownership.

Alternative Solution – The small area of vegetation identified as environmental protection under the
Biodiversity Overlay does not warrant transfer into public ownership. As previously discussed this
vegetation will be retained and protected within proposed Lot 9. This small area of vegetation does not
warrant conservation status under specific outcome O20, however will be retained and protected.
