               desirable or practicable. The rear lot arrangement is therefore an appropriate response to the
               physical and environmental constraints of the land.
               The proposal satisfies PO21(a) because the existing narrow road frontage and constrained internal
               layout make it impractical to provide full road frontage to both lots without an inefficient and
               environmentally disruptive subdivision design. It satisfies PO21(b) because the land is zoned Rural
               Residential, being one of the zones in which rear lots may be contemplated. In relation to PO21(c)
               and PO21(d), the subdivision maintains the established rural residential character of Lake
               Cooroibah Road by retaining large lots, avoiding urban-style subdivision outcomes, and enabling
               future residential development to be contained within nominated building envelopes. This supports
               a high standard of residential amenity for future occupants and adjoining properties, particularly by
               maintaining separation distances, vegetation buffers and a low-density built form.
               The rear lot is of sufficient size to accommodate its intended rural residential use, including a
               dwelling, associated private open space, wastewater treatment area, car parking and vehicle
               manoeuvring. The approved plan and recommended conditions require future dwellings and
               wastewater treatment areas to be located within nominated building envelopes and outside
               relevant setbacks, which assists in ensuring that the development remains functional and
               compatible with the site’s environmental constraints. The scale of the lots and the location of
               building envelopes also ensure that future buildings are unlikely to result in unacceptable loss of
               privacy, sunlight or breezes to adjoining land, satisfying PO21(e) and PO21(f).
               Vehicular access will utilise the existing access arrangement from Lake Cooroibah Road and is to
               be secured by easement. This limits the need for additional access points and avoids adverse
               impacts on the safety and efficiency of Lake Cooroibah Road. Given the substantial lot sizes, length
               of access, separation from adjoining dwellings, and the ability to manage stormwater runoff on-
               site, the access arrangement is not expected to create unreasonable impacts from noise, light,
               dust, stormwater or similar matters for adjoining properties. The proposal therefore satisfies
               PO21(g) and PO21(h).
               The creation of the rear lot will not prejudice the anticipated development of adjoining land. The
               subdivision reflects existing site features and access arrangements, maintains large rural
               residential allotments, and does not rely on adjoining land for access, services or building siting.
               Subject to the recommended conditions relating to building envelopes, access, easements,
               stormwater, vegetation rehabilitation and bushfire management, the rear lot arrangement is
               considered to achieve the outcomes sought by PO21 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code.
               Lot Layout

                AO7.3
                All reconfigured lots on land subject to a constraint or valuable feature identified on an overlay
                map contains a building envelope marked on a plan of development that demonstrates that there
                is an area sufficient to accommodate the intended purpose of the lot, that is not subject to the
                constraint or valuable feature or that appropriately responds to the constraint or valuable feature.

               The proposed vacant lot (Lot 7) contains a 1116m2 building envelope. The envelope area contains
               mapped overlay areas, including the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands, Bushfire Hazard and
               Flood Hazard overlays. As such, the development is required to address the PO7 of the
               Reconfiguring a Lot Code, which states:

                Site Responsive Design
                PO7
                Development provides for a lot layout and configuration of roads and pathways that is responsive
                to:-
                a.        the setting of the site within an urban or non-urban context;
                b.        any natural environmental values present on, or adjoining the site;


                                                                                                       Page 6 of 15
