2.3      Site Location and Layout




Figure 1. Broader Area showing the location of the proposed development.

Located close to the western side of Sankeys Road, the building site abuts unmanaged low forest vegetation
dominated by Acacia spp with numerous Camphor Laurels, some notophyll vine forest species and a thick
Lantana sp midstorey.

The adjacent Lot to the south has a cleared open space parallel to the Lot boundary. The Subject Lot owner
has the ability to reduce the BAL rating for the dwelling by clearing and thinning to create an effective setback
of at least 25m for the dwelling.

The site is within approximately 12km of the nearest full time Queensland Fire and Emergency Services
location (Pomona Fire Station), with local rural fire brigades also likely responders, with a response time
dependent on volunteers to turn out.
