Landscaping along the eastern boundary 10. Prior to the release of the subdivision certificate, the applicant shall provide a landscape screen commencing 15 metres east of the eastern boundary of the building envelopes, on Lots 3, 4 and 5. The landscaping shall be undertaken by the applicant prior to release of the subdivision certificate and have a minimum width of 5 metres. The landscaping maybe a combination of both the retention of existing screening vegetation and where required, supplemented by semi advanced (spring - ring) species. Prior to the commencement of any work, the applicant shall submit a landscape plan that is to the satisfaction of Council, and incorporating the following design parameters for both existing vegetation retained and any supplementary landscaping. i. Use of local indigenous species or other species to Council's satisfaction. ii. Semi advanced (spring - ring) tree species, spaced at intervals that on reaching maturity will have canopies touching each other. iii. Understory planted at a density capable of limiting views into the subdivision, up to a height of two (2) metres on maturity. iv. Any new fencing shall be set behind the landscape screen rather than in front of it.
The applicant shall be responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the landscaping, until the release of the subdivision certificate. The landscape screen shall be protected by S-88B restriction preventing its removal (and requiring its ongoing maintenance and care). Reason: To minimise the impact of the development upon the local environment. Landscaping of Lot 51 will contribute significantly to its compatibility to the surrounding development, by providing an effective visual screen between the two areas.
Proposed Lots 1 The Department advises that the 1.4 ML dam on this Lot (Dam 7 on the water supply plan submitted by SLCC) may be treated as an erosion control structure and therefore will not require a licence. The Maximum harvestable Rights Dm capacity (MHRDC) for Lot 1 (0.17 ML) is included in the capacity of Dam 7. ORDINARY REPORT 7 May 2009 Page 236
Proposed Lots 2 The Department advises that the 1.9 ML and 0.4 ML dams on proposed Lot 2 (Dams 5 & 3 on the Water Supply Plan supplied by SLCC) may be treated as erosion control structures, and therefore will not require a licence . The MHRDC Capacity for Lot 2 is include in the capacity of Dam 5
Proposed Lots 3 The Department advises that the 0.65 ML dam on Proposed Lot 3 (Dam 1 on Water Supply Plan submitted by SLCC) may be enlarged to 0.75 ML capacity, and still be treated as an erosion control structure, and therefore will not require a licence . The MHRDC for Lot 3 (0.2 ML) is included in the capacity of Dam 1
Proposed Lots 4 The Department advises that it is willing to licence the existing unlicensed bore to supply non-potable to proposed Lot 4
Proposed Lots 5 The Department advises that it is willing to licence a new bore to supply non-potable water to Proposed Lot 5. The applicant will be required to submit licence applications under part 5 of the Water Act 1912 for the bores on proposed lots 4 and 5 to the licensing manager Department of Water & Energy, PO Box 156, Leeton NSW 2705.

Reason: To ensure that the proposed road is designed to cater for the traffic generated by the development.
Prevent Stormwater Discharge to Public Road via Entrances
Provide effective permanent drainage measures including cross drainage pipes, swales and level spreaders as appropriate within blocks and in the vicinity of each entrance as needed and as approved by the Certifier and Council to divert stormwater away from driveways and control stormwater and sediments flowing from the property to the public road via the driveway. Reason: To ensure that gravel and silt is not washed from the property to the road surface and road table drains.
This approval does not permit or approve the erection of intra-lot (ie within each lot) fencing to each Lot, with the exception of fencing around the building precincts (which shall follow the specifications set out below). Separate approval is required to undertake any such fencing, with particular care being exercised to avoid excessive vegetation disturbance. New Fencing for inter-allotment boundaries within the approved subdivision shall be limited under this consent to the following: o "give & take" fencing so as to minimise unnecessary vegetation removal o 1200mm high; o consist of 6 plain wires evenly spaced. o star steel stakes at 4 metre maximum centres; o intermediate posts at maximum 40 metre intervals, and strainer posts at appropriate intervals taking into account the terrain, topography and distance; o strainer assemblies at ends of fences or at gateways shall be fabricated using galvanised pipe or selected hardwood props. o Wires are to be threaded or attached with galvanised ties. Staples shall not be used to attach wire to posts; o The fence is to be strained to a tension to prevent large stock access. Intermediate and strainer posts are to be of galvanised steel or concrete. Treated pine posts are not to be used. All materials including posts and props must have a minimum Supplier Certified life of 20 years for the soil and water conditions at the site. All fencing whether existing or new shall be migration friendly for native fauna. Reason: Requirement of landowner to control stock but allow native animal movements.
All road reserves boundaries are to be fenced as required in Yarrowlumla Development Control Plan - Rural and Rural Residential Zones, September 2004. Existing fencing can be retained where it fully complies with the standards of the YDCP. Reason: Requirement of landowner to control stock.

CITATION : CB Richard Ellis (V) Pty Ltd trading ass CBRE Town Planning v Palerang Council [2009] NSWLEC 1450
The proposed access regime provides a desirable environmental and planning outcome s . Such access involves minimal environmental impact on high value and "critical habitat value" bushland north of Donnelly Creek, and provides access economically, consistent with the requirements of clauses 16(1)(d) and (e), and clause 18(1)(c) of the Yarrowlumla Local Environmental Plan 2002 [Bundle, pages 179-180; Report of Mark Grayson, pages 3-9; Report of Bernie Cusack, pages 11-12]; The proposed access regime provides coinciding practical and legal access, consistent with objective (i) of clause 1.6 of the Yarrowlumla DCP for Rural Zones [Bundle, page 245]. In this regard the Council has admitted in the proceedings that Hideaway Place is a public road; The likely amount of traffic to be served from two (2) rural residential lots will not create any unacceptable amenity impacts (visual, privacy, quiet enjoyment) on the community association lots, particularly having regard to the denser subdivision pattern of that scheme; The bitumen sealing of the access road will mean there will be no dust impacts from its use; The design of the access road, in accordance with Council's standard requirements [Bundle, pages 269-271], will cater for stormwater drainage and not create water quality impacts. Any temporary impacts from construction activities can be adequately and appropriately managed by standard construction techniques (eg. water spray dust suppression). The existing registered right of carriageway carries with it the ancillary property right for the owner of the dominant tenement to carry out works on the right of carriageway including construction of road surfaces: Bland v. Levi (2000) 9 BPR 17,517; [2000] NSWSC 161. The matter of owner's consent of the Community Association to a future development application to construct the access road is not a matter requiring determination in these proceedings. 16 In my determination of the modification application I have carefully considered the concerns of the objectors and the expert evidence to the Court including the conditions as discussed.
