Development Assessment Report

Project Urban – 19399                                                                     2 April 2020




The proposed development will comprise a split level building with a lower level car parking area
and a ground/level 1 medical use floor. Due to the slope of the site part of the building will
present to the street as low set and part as high set. The building will have a maximum height of
8m above ground level.

The total gross floor area of the proposed building is 968m2, with total use area of 880m2 and site
cover of 1020m2 (45.28%).

The building has been architecturally designed to respect and integrate with the surrounding
historical streetscape character. In addition to examples in the Heritage Impact Assessment, the
proposal plan finishes palate drawing DA09 includes character forms and examples from which
the design has been driven. Building elements, materials and finishes include pitched roofs with
custom orb profile, flat sheet cladding with cover battens, linea board wall cladding, off form
concrete to columns and low height entry walls and sandstone cladding to some external
screening. Soft muted colours are proposed.

Access and Parking
Vehicles will enter and exit the proposed development from Maple Street. Two new crossovers
are proposed due to the level change arcos the site frontage. These crossovers will replace the
two existing crossovers. The southern crossover will provide access to 7 carpark and the building
entry and the northern crossover will provide access to the remaining carparks under the building.

A total of 47 car spaces including 1 disabled space, 6 motor bike spaces, 11 bicycle spaces, 1 Van
space and 1 Ambulance/SRV space are provided. All vehicles are able to enter and exit the site in
a forward motion.

Landscaping
Landscaping treatments to soften the built form of the proposed development are proposed in
accordance with the Landscape Concept Plans prepared by Blackburne Jackson. Screening
landscaping is proposed to the side/rear boundaries. A landscaped area of 446m2 (19.8%) is
proposed.

Servicing
Waste will be stored in a screened, hardstand waste enclosure near the site entrance and which
will accommodate 2 x 1100l low noise bins. On street collection of these bins is proposed,
consistent with current kerbside operations on Maple Street.

Infrastructure
The subject site is currently connected to all essential urban infrastructure. Stormwater will be
collected and treated on site and discharged into a legal point of discharge in accordance with
the attached Stormwater Management Plan prepared by Empire Engineering. Internal water,
sewer, telecommunication and electrical connections will be finalised during detail design.
