7.0 COMPLIANCE SUMMARY
   The proposed dwelling is non-compliant with one of the Acceptable Outcomes prescribed by the Rural Zone Code. This has
   been detailed below in a compliance summary for the proposal where assessment against the associated Performance
   Outcome has been completed.


   Rural Zone Code
   Acceptable Outcome AO8.4(b) refers to setback to the Riparian Buffer shown on the Biodiversity, Waterway and Wetlands
   Overlay maps being a distance that is greater than the width of the buffer area. The dwelling is located closer to the buffer
   area than the width of the buffer.


   Performance outcome PO8 is read as:
   Notwithstanding that intensive rural activities may need greater separation distances, buildings and other structures are
   appropriately sited and designed to:
        a) avoid environmental harm or nuisance to sensitive land uses, including adverse impacts on amenity values, over
             and above what could reasonably be expected in the rural zone;
        b) avoid adverse impact on ecologically important areas including National Parks, watercourses, and wetlands;
        c) mitigate risks associated with the use of chemicals or air pollutants; and
        d) avoid conflict with rural uses and activities on adjoining properties.


   The proposed development achieves PO8 in the following ways:
   The proposed dwelling is set back ~137m from the Riparian Buffer located on the adjoining lot to the east which contains land
   within Environmental Management Zone. An Ecological Assessment is provided and details the proposed development will
   have no short term or long-term detrimental effects on the biodiversity of the locality including Lake Cootharaba and the
   surrounding National Park. The domestic use of the site will not include chemicals or air pollutants and will not impact on any
   “rural” uses in the locality.


   Acceptable Outcome AO11.2 refers to natural vegetation being retained wherever possible. The site has been partially cleared
   for the dwelling siting.


   Performance outcome PO11 is read as:
   Development does not have a significant adverse impact on the natural values of the site including through
     a) Loss of biodiversity values, fauna habitat and fish passage;
     b) Changes to natural drainage;
     c) Disturbance to any wetland systems;
     d) Erosion and the transport of sediments off site (including pollutants and other containments which would affect the
          capacity of agricultural lands);
     e) Worsening of landslide or fire risk;
