TABLE OF ASSESSMENT

Under the relevant table of assessment for the Rural zone, the proposed uses are subject to
Accepted Development subject to requirements. However, the site is subject to a number of
overlays requiring code assessment. This, in combination with non-compliances with the
Rural zone code, has resulted in the proposal being elevated to a Code Assessable
application.

The proposed development is required to be assessed against the following codes:

   ●   Rural zone code;
   ●   Low density house code;
   ●   Biodiversity, waterways and wetlands overlay code;
   ●   Regional infrastructure overlay code.

The proposal has been assessed against the Acceptable Outcomes and Performance
Outcomes of the above codes. Where the proposal is non-compliant with the Acceptable
Outcomes, alternate solutions to the corresponding Performance Outcome have been
provided below.
