“Specialist services and practical solutions”



       Under the table of assessment for the Community Facilities Zone (Utility installation) the use
       is code assessable being consistent with the annotation. The applicable codes for the
       assessment, include:
           • Community facilities zone code
           • Community activities code; and
           • Works codes - to the extent relevant discussed below.

       10.2 Overlay Mapping and Codes

       Under the overlay mapping, the subject site has the following designations:

           •    Land subject to acid sulfate soils – above 5m AHD to 20m AHD (refer Figure 7);
           •    Biodiversity – MSES Environmental values & Area of Biodiversity Significance (refer
                Figure 8);
           •    Bushfire hazard – Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity (Figure 9); and
           •    Flood hazard – Flooding and inundation (refer Figure 10).

       10.2.1 Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay




       Figure 7 – Extract of acid sulfate soils

       Under the Acid Sulfate Overlay the land for the composting facility potentially contains acid
       sulfate soils being above 5m and below 20m AHD. Despite this, the site is within the
       operational area of the NRRC and has been previously significantly disturbed. To the extent
       an earth works is required, this will be minimised and the disturbance of any acid sulfate soils
       can be managed.

       In accordance with condition 7 of the current development approval, the applicant is required
       to manage acid sulphate soils in accordance with the former State Planning Policy 2/02 -
       Planning and Managing Development Involving Acid Sulphate Soils. The proposed
       development therefore complies with the Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Code.
