Development Assessment Report

EXISTING SERVICES CODE

The overall outcomes sought for the Existing Services Code are the following:

    a) Existing Council owned underground infrastructure is protected from potential or actual
       damage caused by development;
    b) Underground infrastructure is accessible for maintenance purposes; and
    c) Existing services are identified and methods of protection and access are implemented in the
       design of the development.

Comment: No existing services will be impacted by the development. This will be further addressed
as part of a subsequent operational works application.


TRANSPORT ROADS AND DRAINAGE CODE

The overall outcomes sought for the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code are the following:

    a) Development is consistent with the intentions of the strategic transport network, which is to--
          i. improve the coordination between transport and land use, to avoid excessive motor
             vehicle travel;
         ii. minimise the environmental and social impacts of transport on the natural and urban
             environment;
        iii. increase the use of walking, cycling, bus, train and ferry modes and minimise the use of
             the private car;
        iv. vensure that vehicle access to the development does not compromise the capacity and
             safety of the road system;
         v. not increase the scale of the road network beyond that currently planned; and
        vi. ensure that development appropriately attenuates noise from adjoining roads.
    b) Development works are designed and constructed to a standard that meets community
       expectations, prevents unacceptable off-site impacts and optimizes whole of life cycle costs;
    c) Roads are designed and constructed to satisfy their specified functions and provide an
       appropriate level of flood immunity (including local flooding on roads, i.e. through sufficient
       kerb storage capacity);
    d) Development provides appropriate buffering between noise sensitive uses and the major road
       network and rail corridors;
    e) Roads are designed and constructed to be compatible with the existing road network and
       hierarchy and to provide a safe environment for vehicular traffic, pedestrians and cyclists;
    f) Intersections and access points are designed and constructed to retain the low key
       development style and slower pace enjoyed by residents and visitors;
    g) Road and drainage infrastructure is constructed to a standard that minimizes ongoing
       maintenance costs;
    h) Drainage systems are designed and constructed with capacity to effectively manage or convey
       the design flow;
    i) Road and drainage infrastructure is compatible with other infrastructure; and
    j) Road and drainage infrastructure does not create any adverse impacts upon environmental
       values associated with biodiversity, hydrological cycles, biophysical resources and air quality.

Comment: No roadworks are required or proposed with the development. Appropriate stormwater
drainage will be achieved in accordance with the accompanying Stormwater Management Plan
prepared by Empire Engineering.
