Development provides for irregular shaped lots to be created
only where:

(a) the creation of regular lots is impractical such as at a
    curve in the road or because of topographical constraints;
(b) safe access and visual exposure to and from the site can
    be provided, while not adversely impacting on the
    functionality of the surrounding road network;
(c) it is desirable to avoid clearing of vegetation and the
    fragmentation of habitat in ecologically important areas;
    and
(d) the irregular lot is demonstrably suitable for its intended
    purpose.
