Provide a rehabilitation plan including but not limited to:
total number of trees proposed to be replanted, species that are representative of the regional ecosystem and numbers of each species and location of rehabilitation area/s.
Issue
As detailed in the application material the location of the dwelling may provide difficulties for emergency services access therefore additional information is required to confirm appropriate locations for emergency service vehicles access and turn-around points.
Information Required
Provide detail that there is an appropriate flat area at the dwelling within which an emergency vehicle in particular a rural appliance can stop and turn-around safely.
Provide detail that there is an appropriate flat area beside the nominated water source (proposed to be the swimming pool) within which an emergency vehicle in particular a rural appliance can access the water safety and allow room to turn-around.

Issue
The plans do not detail the setback of the dwelling from the northern, western and eastern boundaries.
Information Required
Plans to detail the proposed setback of the dwelling from the northern, western and eastern boundaries.
Issue
The contours values on the site plan are significantly different to what is detailed on Council’s mapping and create ambiguity with regards to the proposed dwelling location.

Issue
The slope stability report details that up to 3 metres of fill is required to the north-western, northern and north-eastern fringes of the footprint. The submitted pans do not clearly reflect the proposed earthworks making it difficult to assess the proposal against Po15 of the Rural Zone Code.

Elevation plans to include details of natural and finished ground level.

Issue
A shed is detailed on the site plan but no elevations have been provided, reference is made to the shed in the planning report, ecological assessment and the slope stability report. The slope stability reports notes that up to 1 metre of cut/fill is required for the shed.
