The issues
22 At the commencement of the proceedings, as noted earlier with respect to the conciliation phase, a number of matters were resolved. It is also appropriate to note that, during the determinative phase, some further issues, primarily of a planning nature, were also able to be resolved. Those incorporated in the revised design were responsive to:
o council and resident concerns relating to protection of a stand of koala habitat trees that, in the final design, are proposed to be incorporated in a public reserve dedicated to the council on Lot 45;
o the resolution of a large number of lot sizes; building envelope identification; and adequate driveway access detail being provided to demonstrate that practical access to the allotment was, in fact, available;
o dedication as a public reserve of a small area, proposed Lot 2 - an area where some potentially contaminated fill requires removal resulting in what would be, essentially, the only flat allotment in the proposed subdivision. This allotment is to be dedicated to the council in satisfaction of its requirement for an area of public reserve capable of development is a satisfactory children's playground;
o a rearrangement of a significant number of allotment boundaries so that the minimum allotment size considered appropriate by the council (having regard to the slope of each proposed allotment) was resolved in all but one instance. That single instance, Lots 35 and 36 on the south-eastern corner of the intersection of Woodlawn Avenue and Nigel Place required determination as a contested issue; and
o the provision of a turning circle at the south-eastern end of Woodlawn Avenue to make it possible for the allotments in that vicinity to be serviced by garbage trucks and other heavy delivery vehicles.
