      Landscaping Code
      In terms of landscaping, the proposed development provides for some landscaping at the frontage
      also consistent with the historic development of the site and the development approval that has issued
      (Attachment 2). It is suggested that in the circumstances given the development and sealed areas
      are existing, along with the open space areas surrounding the site, the amount of landscaping is
      adequate.


      Overlay Codes
      The most relevant overlay code is the Natural Hazards Overlay Code, with respect to flooding (refer
      Figure 2, below). It is understood that redevelopment of the site occurred using the same building
      footprint, which means that the site will be inundated during a Q100 flood event as shown below.

                                                                      Subject Site




                                                                                          Legend

      Under Table 13.6 – Categories of development and assessment for the Natural Hazards and Natural
      Resources Overlays - Making A Material Change of Use, for Flood Hazard Areas, business uses would
      be subject to code assessment. Consequently, having regard to the existing built form the most
      relevant specific outcomes include the following:

      Hazardous materials
      O14 Development avoids the release of hazardous materials into floodwaters and the environment

      Comment: Given the proposed industrial uses are of a low impact and service nature, it is not expected
      that such uses would have significant quantities of hazardous materials on site.

      Development siting and design
      O17 Development provides that for all flood events up to and including the defined flood event –
      a) the safety of people on the site is protected;
      b) the capacity to use land in the flood plain is not adversely affected; and
      c) the risk of damage to property on the site is avoided or minimised as far as practicable.
