To whom it may concern:

Planning application for 6 Sandy Point Rd Sandy Point 3959

Statement to explain how the proposed dwelling responds to the decision guidelines in the zone pursuant to Clause 35.07,5

AGRICULTURAL ISSUES:

1. Currently we use the land for growing Angus Beef.

We have used artificial insemination for more than 20 years to develop a high quality angus herd.

Our intention is to further breed an enhanced line of angus specializing in animals which have been bred and nurtured for the ebv of temperament.

This breeding goal is enhanced by the close attention we can give when living on this small parcel of farming land.

Currently the land runs at 14 dse. We intend to double the carrying capacity to 28 dse when in residence.

This can readily be done using fertilizer, rotational grazing (much better done when on site), reduction of the rabbit population and purchased feed.

Hence the development proposed will support and enhance agricultural production to near double even accounting for the small area used for the house.

2. The proposal will improve soil quality. We have started to use largely organic fertilizers including compost to achieve our goals. The development proposed will support and enhance agricultural production to near double

even accounting for the small area used for the house (for methods see 1. above). 3. The use and development does not have the potential to limit the operation and expansion

of adjoining and nearby agricultural use because we have double fenced and created a significant buffer with vegetation. Also, the adjoining farmland is grazing land that is completely compatible with our operation and proposed operation described above.

4. The capacity of the site to sustain the agricultural use will be enhanced with increased fertility, carrying capacity and personal attention as described above.

5. Access to water and rural infrastructure are unchanged by the development. Soil quality improved.

DWELLING ISSUES

1. Productivity of the land will increase as described above. Paddocks are arranged for easy movement of animals and ease of animal handling and observation. This will be achieved by fencing a modest house site with minimal lawn area and 4 paddocks arranged for rotational grazing and ease of cattle movement handling and observation around the central dwelling.

2. The dwelling will not be adversely affected by agricultural activities on adjacent land due to the location of the dwelling being central and the vegetation buffer around the land.

3. Central location and buffer will also mean that the operation and expansion of adjoining and nearby agricultural uses will not be adversely affected by the proposed dwelling.

4. The proposal does not have the potential to lead to a concentration or proliferation of dwellings in the area due to farming zone regulations.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

1. The proposal has no adverse impact on natural physical features and resources of the area. Soil quality will be enhanced and household effluent can be readily dealt with on site to a standard greater than that required by the authorities.

2. Use and of the land is still predominantly for beef cattle. Consequently the impact on flora and fauna is unchanged except that our living on site will allow us to have a big impact on reducing the very high rabbit population (required for increased production) and reducing the fox population in order to increase the chance of survival of our small native fauna.

3. As described above, we have done considerable work on property border buffers. These will be enhanced by greater attention to shiny leaf weed removal and enhancement of Koala habitat as it declines with age. All species in these buffers will continue to be indigenous to the local area and supply the biodiversity required for our native birds and animals.

4. Effluent disposal is sited to have no effect on waterways or native vegetation.

DESIGN AND SITING ISSUES

1. Siting of the dwelling near the driveway to the cattle yards means no significant additional land is required for driveways hence minimizing the loss of productive agricultural land. Central location minimizes impact on any surrounding agricultural use.

2. Siting, design, height, bulk, colours and materials have been selected to blend in with the natural environment and will basically go unnoticed from surrounding roads and consequently minimises any adverse impacts.

3. We will always work to enhance the natural beauty. When we first purchased the land it

was bare grassland of poor quality. We grew hundreds of manna gums from seed which are now large and support a substantial koala and bird population. Our farm dam is fenced off from the cattle to enhance water quality for the cattle and for the dam fauna and visiting birds.

4. Our land already has raised driveway access and provision for good dry access during wet winters to the bitumen Sandy Point Rd. Electricity supply is available, dwelling water will be collected off the roof, cattle water will continue to be supplied as it has been since 1984. Gas is not required. Phone works well with our Teistra smart antenna. Sewerage facilities will be self contained and maintained to a high standard.

Thank you for your consideration. Heather Bassed David Bassed
