5.5 DUAL OCCUPANCY AND MULTIPLE DWELLING CODE

The purpose of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code is to ensure dual occupancy and
multiple dwellings are of a high quality design which appropriately respond to local character,
environment and amenity considerations.

Response: A code assessment has been submitted with this application. The proposal is considered
to achieve compliance, or can achieve compliance, with the code requirements.

5.6 PLANNING SCHEME OVERLAYS
The below table addresses the applicable overlays relating to the development site:


                      Overlay                                          Comment

                                        Acid Sulfate Soils

                                                      The site is mapped as containing Area 1 Acid
                                                      Sulfate Soils. In accordance with Table 5.9.1,
                                                      the proposal does not involve filling of land
                                                      with 500m³ or more of material or excavation
                                                      of 100m³ material. No further assessment is
                                                      required.




                                           Flood Hazard

                                                      The site is mapped as containing flood
                                                      hazard areas. In accordance with Table 5.9.6,
                                                      an assessment of Flood Hazard overlay code
                                                      has been undertaken. A Flood Certificate has
                                                      been obtained, which confirms the minimum
                                                      finished floor level requirement is 2.7m AHD.
                                                      All habitable areas achieve this requirement.
                                                      The proposed garages will achieve a FFL of
                                                      2.35m AHD, however will be constructed to
                                                      permit the parking area to drain from site by
                                                      gravity means without the need for
                                                      mechanical pumping.
