            boundary and unformed for its length abutting the land. All existing farm dams within the property are
            accessible from the internal track network which, at the time of our site inspection, were trafficable by rural
            fire fighting appliances.

            Discussion
            The proposed minor change involves locating a single unit dwelling within the southern corner on the east
            side of the large dam.
            The original Bushfire Hazard Assessment states:
            “at the time of our site inspection, the regrowth could be considered to be predominantly a notophyll vine
            forest in terms of its bushfire hazard profile.”
            The vegetation remains in the same condition as the assessment in 2019 and is considered to be
            transitioning from a timber plantation to a microphyll and notophyll vine forest with Araucaria cunninghamii
            (Hoop pine) and some eucalypt species as emergent species.
            Lands to the south in Lot 5 RP851976 contain dwelling houses, ancillary sheds and vehicle access tracks
            with some amenity vegetation. The remaining land is partially vegetated with a grazed pasture understory.
            The proposed cabin is located adjacent the residential section and not considered a bushfire prone area.
            There are no bushfire hazards within 100 metres of the proposed location and the site is subject to a low
            bushfire hazard.
            Attachment 1 contains the layout plan for the whole of site and indicates the location of Visitor
            Accommodation Unit 4 to the south of the approved Caretakers (Application no. MCU19/0053).
