NRW — Referral Agency Response 2002/001501

4. Reasons for the concurrence agency response
NRW has assessed the application against the Concurrence Agency Policy for
Material Change of Use (MCU) 23 August 2007 (MCU Policy).

The property supports areas of remnant vegetation,
These areas are shown on the certified Regional Ecosystem Map.

The removal of vegetation within these areas is regulated under the authority of
Vegetation Management Act 1999.

NRW has determined that ihe application satisfies the requirements of Criteria
Table A within the MCU Policy because the proposed dwelling’s location will not
result in clearing of remnant vegetation to either construct the proposed dwelling
or protect it from vegetation-related hazards such as wildfire.

NRW has directed the assessment manager to include conditions in any
development approval given for the application to ensure that remnant vegetation
will be conserved and the current setback of infrastructure to remnant vegetation
will be maintained in order to:

* ensure that future clearing of remnant vegetation is not necessitated by the
proximity of infrastructure to it; and

« any development approval remains consistent with the MCU Policy.
