That's okay, yes, that's fine, Mr. Chairman. I'll , if I can just tell you when you finish the slide, that would be great. If we could please start on page number three, which is the LEP maps, and then I'll speak from there. From there, is that right? Thank you . Thanks, Mr. Chairman and panel members for the opportunity to present 43 Goodall Lane to you. I understand that this presentation has already been given, so I'll fly through as much as I can in the limited time that I've got. Site is residue land off Bonavista Precinct. The land subject to this planning proposal has been marked with a red dot on these two LEP maps. As you can see, both fall outside of the two major rezonings that occurred at Pitt Town in 2006 and in 2008.
Apart from the standard instrument conversion, the residue land has not been rezoned since 1989. Next slide, please . These aerial images show how the site has changed over time. While most of it remains remnant bushland, the western frontage, where five residential lots are proposed, was cleared early on, used for a temporary construction sediment basin and later a sales office. By 2011, the south eastern area was also cleared and construction of the private water system had begun. Council's sewer system is also established. Next slide, please. This broader image represents how the site sits in its surrounds, noting that there is a community centre to the south of the site as part of the Ferny Dell Park precinct.
That this panel, in exercising its function as consent authority, approved at its August meeting. Next slide, please. These next two slides dive into project benefits. These are already documented in the council report before you. Suffice to say four main outcomes: conservation land, securing high value land in the correct zone with long-term management certainty; sewer infrastructure, zones both existing sewer facilities appropriately, enabling subdivision and title transfer of the private water system to the utility operator. Next slide, please. Residential lots allows for five new lots on previously cleared land along the western frontage, mirroring that residential outcome opposite. Public infrastructure, early delivery of the boat ramp subject to a concurrent contributions plan amendment, which I will clarify in a moment.
Next slide, please. We're effectively proposing just one new residential lot. As outlined in the council report, three approved lots are being relocated from another precinct, not mentioned in the council report, but acknowledging the Land and Environment Court's decision of an approved single dwelling entitlement on the subject land. Then that just leaves the one additional lot. Ecological, bushfire and flooding impacts have been carefully assessed with negligible impact. Four of the five lots were already considered in historical flood planning, and recent work by Steve Molino as part of this planning proposal confirms the extra lot, or in fact the whole five lots, won't negatively affect flood capacity, evacuation or emergency resources.
Next slide, please. In respect of the council commentary on the Metropolitan Rural Area, as just mentioned, we're proposing the addition of one modest infill lot. This is consistent with similar Pitt Town cases, like the 2022 rezoning at 4 Hall Street for a single additional residential lot as per this extract, which were both accepted by the council and the department. We're confident this can be appropriately addressed. If there are any questions on this point or other strategic planning questions arising, Matt Owens is here and available to speak to them. Next slide, please. Before I wrap up, I want to take two minutes to explain the boat ramp and car park issue, which is an important issue to the community, important for you to understand, and important for us to clarify a misunderstanding in the report before you.
The boat ramp and car park are required under the Minister's 2007 Part 3A Concept Plan approval, as I've highlighted in blue. Marked in green, the concept plan and approval covers five precincts: Bonavista Precinct, Fernadel Precinct, Blighton, Cleary and Thornton Precinct, all marked in yellow and as per the plan I've shown. First four precincts are already complete. Thornton is the only precinct left undeveloped. Because Thornton is the last to proceed, the minister's determination requires its developer to deliver the boat ramp and car park during the course of its subdivision. Failing to do so would be inconsistent with the minister's approval. Responsibility is well understood by council, the owners of the Thornton precinct, and the broader Pitt Town community.
It's been clearly communicated through multiple open letters and resident letterbox drops over the years. To be absolutely clear, JPG is not compelled nor responsible for the delivery of the boat ramp or the car park. However, because it's an important issue to the community and council, and the timing of the Thornton precinct is uncertain, we've worked with council's previous city planning directors to find a way to deliver this asset ahead of that Thornton precinct. Next slide, please.
