                                  No vegetation will be cleared to facilitate this development. The existing
                                  environmental significance of the subject land will be preserved.
 Services                         The subject land is occupied by a dwelling house and holiday
                                  accommodation that are serviced via on-site water and sewer. The
                                  buildings and services will be retained on proposed Lots 8 & 9.
 Waterways                        There is a mapped waterway running along the eastern boundary of the
                                  subject site. As the existing buildings, access and services will be retained,
                                  there will be no impact to the waterway corridor as a result of the proposed
                                  boundary realignment.

                                  proposed to the site frontages.
 Existing use of site             Lot 8 is occupied by GG’s ranch and retreat which is used for holiday
                                  accommodation. Lot 9 is currently occupied by a residential dwelling house
                                  and associated buildings and landscaping in a rural residential setting. The
                                  existing land uses will be retained within the proposed allotments, in the

2.0       Development Proposal
The proposed development is for the boundary re-alignment of existing Lot 8 on SP230072 and Lot 9 on
SP230072. The proposed lot layout is as follows:

       Lot 8 has an area of 12.14 hectares and has dimensions of (running clockwise from the Happy Jack
        Creek Road frontage) 94.167m, 35.97m, 64.978m, 142.831m, 22.658m, 149.75m, 101.212m,
        139.716m, 516.747m, 54.919m, 301.667m, and 168.55m.

        The existing cottage accommodation will be retained on this allotment. Vehicle access will be via
        Happy Jack Creek Road, as per the existing arrangement.

       Lot 9 has an area of 21.52 ha with dimensions of (running clockwise from the Happy Jack Creek Road
        frontage) 36.061m, 156.358m, 175.201m, 155m, 268.077m, 550.85m, 139.716m, 101.212m,
        149.75m, 173.599m, 132.777m, and 327.394m.

        The existing house will be retained on this allotment. Vehicle access will be via Happy Jack Creek
        Road, in accordance with the existing arrangement.

The proposed boundary realignment allows for 9.117 ha of land that is currently within Lot 8 to be transferred
to Lot 9. Proposed Lot 8 will become similar in area to existing Lot 9 and proposed Lot 9 will be similar in area
to existing Lot 8. The proposed new boundaries allow for the retention of the existing buildings, access and
services. In addition, the existing smaller waterbodies within existing Lot 8 will be retained within proposed Lot
9.

While it is noted that the minimum lot size within the Rural zone is 100 hectares, the existing allotments are
well below 100 hectares in area. The proposal does not result in any additional allotments, and the existing
buildings and vehicle accesses will be retained, with suitable setbacks and open space areas. No vegetation
is proposed to be cleared and there are a number of similar and smaller sized allotments within the immediate
area. The amenity of this location from both an aesthetic and a topographical perspective will be unaffected
by this proposed boundary realignment.

Please refer to the Proposal Plan within Appendix B for details.

2.1      Residential Amenity
The proposal is consistent with the surrounding rural residential neighbourhood. The proposed boundary re-
alignment allows for the existing land uses and vegetation to be retained and is consistent with the land use
pattern within the immediate area.

The new allotment boundaries achieve suitable and substantial boundary setbacks to the existing buildings on
each allotment and as such, appropriate privacy, vegetation retention, and rural character.

2.2      Land Use
The subject land is located within the Rural zone. The proposal is supported by the land use designation under
the Planning Scheme and will contribute to the broader neighbourhood of Ridgewood.

2.3      Access, Parking and Servicing
The existing vehicle access ways and car parking will be retained for each allotment.

Refuse will be collected from the street, in accordance with the existing arrangement.

No new road is required as part of this development.

2.4      Site Servicing
The subject land is currently occupied by holiday accommodation and a dwelling house that are serviced by
on-site water and sewer. The existing buildings and services will be retained for proposed Lots 8 and 9.

Telecommunications and electrical services are existing and will also be retained.

2.5      Stormwater Management

As the existing buildings, access and services will be retained within proposed Lots 8 & 9, no changes to the
existing stormwater management arrangements are proposed.

Referral Agency (SARA); therefore, the provisions of Appendix 1 of the State Development Assessment
Provisions do not apply to this application.

4.2      Planning Scheme Assessment Benchmarks

4.2.1    Zoning

The subject site is located within the Rural zone. The purpose of this zone is to provide for rural uses and
activities; and provide for other uses and activities that are compatible with existing and future rural uses and
activities, and the character and environmental features of the zone; and maintain the capacity of land for rural
uses and activities by protecting and managing significant natural resources and processes.

The subject land currently consists of two allotments. Lot 8 is occupied by holiday accommodation and Lot 9
includes a dwelling house with associated outbuildings. The proposed development is for a boundary
realignment of the existing site, retaining the existing buildings over each allotment. The proposal is suitable
within the Rural zone and is consistent with the surrounding area and land use pattern.

The purpose of the Rural zone code is to be achieved through the overall outcomes sought for the zone. The
overall outcomes are addressed below.

The application is consistent with the intent of the above overlays.

4.3       Local Government Infrastructure Plan
The Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) comes into effect during the development assessment
process when trunk infrastructure is required or when development generates additional demand on trunk
infrastructure networks.

The subject site is located outside of the priority infrastructure area and is not affected by trunk infrastructure.
As the proposal does not create any additional allotments, there will be no additional demand on trunk
infrastructure works. Therefore, infrastructure charges do not apply to the proposed development and
assessment against the LGIP is not required.

4.4       Applicable Development Codes
The table below identifies the assessment benchmarks applicable to the proposed development and the
response.
