9.2.3 Reconfiguring a lot (subdividing one lot into two lots) and associated operational works code (1)
The purpose of the reconfiguring a lot (subdividing one lot into two lots) and associated operational works code is for assessing requests for compliance assessment for development for reconfiguring a lot that requires compliance assessment as prescribed in Part 5, section 5.4 under Table 5.4.2—Prescribed level of assessment: reconfiguring a lot.
Note—Development subject to compliance assessment must be able to achieve compliance with the compliance outcomes for a compliance permit to be issued. Note—If compliance with the code is not possible, the development cannot be considered for compliance assessment and a development application for assessable development must be made to the local government as outlined in Schedule 18 of the Regulation.

CO5 The reconfiguration enables that any proposed buildings and structures can comply with boundary setback requirements contained within the applicable acceptable outcomes of this Planning Scheme. The reconfiguration enables proposed buildings and structures to avoid CO6 easements, such as easements for trunk sewer lines; AND No new lots are created where proposed buildings and structures can not be constructed due to existing or planned underground or above ground infrastructure. CO7 No new lots are created on land within a flood hazard area as identified by the Flood hazard overlay.
