Town Planning Assessment Report · MCU26/0099

The topography of the site generally falls away from a high point within the south-eastern corner of the
property, which has an elevation of approximately 92m AHD. The remainder of the property is generally
low-lying and relatively flat, with elevations typically ranging between approximately 78m and 80m AHD,
and is substantially affected by flood inundation.

As a consequence of the flooding constraints, there is a limited area of the site available to accommodate a
future dwelling outside the mapped flood inundation extent. The available elevated area is also subject to
ecological constraints, being mapped as Core Koala Habitat and Koala Priority Area under State mapping
and identified as containing biodiversity values under the planning scheme.

An area of approximately 500m² within the elevated south-eastern portion of the property has historically
been cleared and disturbed. The proposed dwelling has been positioned generally within and adjoining this
previously disturbed area which will reduce the extent of additional vegetation clearing required while also
locating the dwelling outside the flood affected parts of the site.

The proposed house site is also mapped as a Potential Impact Buffer under the Bushfire Hazard Overlay . A
Bushfire Assessment has been prepared to address the bushfire impacts relating to the property and is
included at Appendix B.

Refer to Figures 2–3 below, which provide an aerial photograph of the subject site and illustrate the extent of
flood affected land and the resulting constraints on the location of a future house site.
