Core Refusal Reason
The development is premature due to inadequate wastewater treatment capacity and fails to meet layout standards regarding infrastructure buffers, open space, and dwelling separation.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposal is premature pending upgrades to the Naul Wastewater Treatment Plant and contravenes the 'RV' zoning objective regarding infrastructure availability.
- The layout fails to provide the required 100m buffer for wastewater treatment plants and 35m buffer for pumping stations, impacting residential and visual amenity.
- The development does not comply with standards for public open space location and fails to meet the minimum 2.3m separation distance between dwellings.
