3. made of open timber or metal construction, and
4. do not impede existing overland flow paths.

PO7

Driveways, cross overs and car parking areas:

1. do not dominate the streetscape
2. are located to minimise the removal of mature trees, and
3. constructed from permeable materials where possible to maintain natural drainage flows and maximise stormwater infiltration on–site.

AO7.1

Driveways, crossovers and car parking areas are:

1. finished with a permeable surface, and
2. not located within 4m of the side boundary.

AO7.2

Driveways and crossovers are:

1. a maximum of 3.5m wide including splays, and
2. limited to 1 per lot.

PO8

Development and landscaping:

1. enhances visual amenity and screen buildings from streets, walkways and other public places
2. integrates with the natural features
3. minimises earthworks and the use of retaining walls, and
4. complements the low density sub–tropical character of the area.

AO8.1

Plant species used for landscaping are native to the locality.

AO8.2

Uncovered external paved or hard landscaped areas not used for car parking are limited to 36m2 where a Dwelling house or 18m2 where a dual occupancy.

Effects of development

PO10

Development responds sensitively to on–site and surrounding topography, drainage patterns, utility services, access, vegetation and adjoining land use, such that:

1. any hazards to people or property are avoided
2. native plants are retained within the lot or premises and adjoining road reserve
3. any earthworks are minimised
4. the retention of natural drainage systems is maximised
5. the retention of existing vegetation is maximised
6. damage or disruption to sewerage, stormwater and water infrastructure is avoided, and
7. there is adequate buffering, screening or separation to adjoining development.

PO11

Development maintains a high level of amenity within the site and minimises impacts on surrounding areas, having regard to:

1. noise
2. hours of operation including temporary uses
3. traffic and parking
4. visual impact
5. signage
6. odour and emissions
7. lighting
8. access to sunlight
9. privacy.

Note—Applicants may be required to engage specialists to provide detailed investigations into the above matters in order to demonstrate compliance with this performance criterion.
