Agenda 18 January 2011 - King Island Council

The topography of the land in the immediate vicinity of the proposed excision is
undulating and the majority of the balance block will be hidden from view of the
residence. It is proposed to retain the windmill and the stock watering water storage
tank on the balance block. The nearest neighbouring dwelling is approximately 210m to
the south east. It is believed that the undulating nature of the surrounding land lends
itself to being an effective buffer from impacts from agricultural use.
