Schedule 7 Matters for consideration in a subdivision of land

(Clause 21 (3))

Environmentally sensitive/constrained land

Drainage

Provision should be made for each allotment to be drained by gravity to a Council-approved drainage system. The topography of the land should not be altered so as to affect drainage patterns. Stormwater should drain directly to a Council-approved drainage system and not via adjoining properties unless via a formalised interallotment drainage system. The proposed allotments are to be drained to the direction of the natural fall of the land.

Restrictions

The Council will require that any easement, right-of-way, or other restriction that is placed on the title of any land as a requirement of the approval of the subdivision is to be protected by a positive covenant or like instrument with the Council nominated as a party, to ensure that section of land is retained for the designated purpose.

Access

Bushfire

New subdivisions should be designed to minimise the risk from potential bushfire.

Asset protection zones identified in a bush fire risk management plan in force under the Rural Fires Act 1997 should be contained within the property boundaries of the new subdivision.

Design and construction

All design and construction is to be in accordance with the Council’s Specification for Engineering Works and On site stormwater detention policy and technical specification.

Lot dimensions

In localities where erection of housing is Category One development, the following standards apply to proposed new allotments (other than new allotments proposed pursuant to clause 21 (1) (b))—

(a) Minimum width of 13 metres and a minimum depth of 27 metres. This does not apply to development that is not subject to a maximum density standard as outlined in the relevant Locality Statement or development occurring on the Brookvale Brickworks site in Locality F4—Brookvale Valley.

(b) Minimum building area of 150m2. Building area excludes driveways.

(c) In calculating housing density, the area of any access corridor (including any right-of-carriageway, access handle, accessway or that provides for vehicular access) is to be excluded, whether such access corridor is to be created or is in existence at the time of application for subdivision.
