CLARENCE CITY COUNCIL – PLANNING AUTHORITY MATTERS- 4 JUNE 2012 71
“(t) An internal lot should include adequate width to provide a
landscaped strip between the driveway and the abutting fence
lines, except where there is to be a shared driveway with the
adjoining lot”.
The proposed internal lot will provide a 6m wide right-of-way, however, the
driveway is permitted to reduce to a width of 3m after the passing bay at the
front of the property and will leave area available for landscaping.
“(u) Subdivision should ensure that based on a 1 in 100 year
event natural drainage paths and significant stormwater
catchment areas are protected from inappropriate
development. This relates to development within drainage
lines which may impede restrict or adversely affect natural
drainage flows”.
There are no substantial drainage paths or large catchments that would be
affected by subdivision or normal development of the lots created and the
proposal is therefore consistent with the above.
In summary, the proposal complies with the requirements of the zone.

cultural or historic resource or feature of conservation value,
including flora or fauna habitats”.
