Response to Information Request - Final 21 March 2024 · MCU23/0096

 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




13. If required, amend the development staging plan and boundaries to optimise available
    parks during construction and minimise the overall impacts during the construction phase.

Response:

The staff only area (Carpark C) has been closed since the completion of the new carpark in
2021. Under the Master Plan, this former parking area will be the court yard area (refer
Attachment 1). At no stage did the staff only carpark (Parking Area C) provide for direct
access to Walter Hay Drive.

It is reasonable in the circumstances for a condition to be imposed to require a Construction
Management Plan (CMP) for the development of the PAC and new parking area (Area P2).
HTE has also addressed this issue. A CMP would be required to be submitted with an
application for operational works and prior to the issue of a building approval for the PAC.

The proposed CMP will consider the optimum use of the available parking and spaces on the
site during the construction process and the timing for same utilising school holidays etc,
where possible. There will obviously be some impact caused to existing parking on the site
during construction, which will be minimised, but cannot be avoided.

Summary

In summary, the future development for the GSLC will be in accordance with the Master Plan.
The Master Plan provides for the removal and construction of new buildings and other
infrastructure having a ten (10) year planning horizon.

The preliminary approval including the Master Plan provides certainty about the number of
students at GSLC being capped at 1150 along with 150 equivalent full-time staff. The
preliminary approval and Master Plan also provide certainty about the onsite parking to be
provided, which is well in excess of the expected demand. The onsite traffic management will
also be substantially improved by Area P2, to minimise impacts off the site during peak
drop-off and pick-up periods.

The traffic advice obtained has confirmed there is ample onsite parking provided and the
improved onsite traffic management will ensure there are no unacceptable offsite traffic
impacts. It is relevant that the GSLC has existed on the site for many years and the number of
students and equivalent full-time staff is remaining the same. There is no added increase in
demand for parking as a result of the PAC or the Master Plan.

Development approval (MCU20/0072) is being cancelled because the proposed
demountable buildings are not now required. Consequently, the proposed works under the
Deed of Agreement should also be at an end. The proposed infrastructure work on site will
provide for 81 spaces in Area P2, which substantially exceeds the 53 spaces (approximately)
