Reconfigure a Lot (1 Lot into 2 Lots) at 41 Tallowwood Place, Black Mountain described as Lot
36 on RP897845 (RAL24/0003)
I refer to Council’s information request sent via email on 20 March 2023 in relation to the abovementioned
application.
Pursuant to section 13.2 of the DA Rules, we hereby provide a response to all the information request the
items raised in the request as detailed below:
Issue – Property Boundary
Section 6.1 of Tectonic’s Geo-Environmental Investigation (23099-001-Rev0) dated 22 May 2023 has
nominated an exclusion zone on the subject site and recommends that the “final lot boundaries should be
designed to ensure the exclusion zone is wholly with one allotment” as shown in the amended extract below.
The proposed subdivision plan does not wholly contain the exclusion zone within an allotment with the new
boundary cutting through the nominated exclusion zone.
Issue – Information Required
1. Provide amended plans that adheres to the recommendations made in Tectonic’s Geo- Environmental
Investigation (23099-001-Rev0) dated 22 May 2023, ensuring all lot boundaries are located outside of
the nominated exclusion zone.
Response
Please find attached an Amended Plan of Subdivision and a cover letter response prepared by Tectonic
confirming that the plan is in accordance with the recommendations of geotechnical investigation report.
The Amended Plan of Subdivision identifies that the common boundary between Lots 361 and 362 has
been shifted 15m to the east. A survey of the vegetation in the vicinity of the new boundary location has also
been included. It is the applicant’s intent that all native vegetation within 5m of the proposed boundary will be
retained and protected for privacy and amenity purposes. Reasonable and relevant conditions can be
imposed to this effect.

Issue – Proposed Building Envelope
The approximate location of the ‘Recommended Low Risk Building Area’ shown in Tectonic’s Geo-
Environmental Investigation (23099-001-Rev0) dated 22 May 2023 varies from the proposed ‘Building
Envelope’ shown in the Proposed Reconfiguration plan (23-6047AB) dated 14 September 2023.
Issue – Information Required
2. Provide a ‘statement of support’ or the like from a suitably qualified representative of Tectonic stating that
the proposed building envelope (including any amended building envelopes due to relocation of property
boundary) meets the recommendations held within Tectonic’s Geo-Environmental Investigation (23099-
001-Rev0) dated 22 May 2023.
Response
Please find attached cover letter responses prepared by Tectonic supporting the proposed building
envelope identified on the Amended Plan of Subdivision.
Issue – Embankment Reinstatement (Track & Drainage Line)
Section 6.1 of Tectonic’s Geo-Environmental Investigation (23099-001-Rev0) dated 22 May 2023
recommends that the “existing track is removed, and the ground surface graded such that stormwater can
freely drain into the drainage line downslope”.
The application material does not include the details of this recommendation or give considerations to the
existing batter toe of the rock fill embankment.
Information Required
3. Provide additional detail demonstrating the removal of the existing track and grading of the nearby
ground surface. The additional detail must be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ) and include,
but not be limited to:
a. the removal and reinstatement of the existing track (as shown in Text Figure 7);
b. grading of nearby ground surfaces to ensure stormwater can freely drain into the downslope
drainage line; and
c. considerations to the existing batter toe of the existing rock fill embankment.
Response
Please find attached cover letter responses prepared by Tectonic which confirms that the details for the
removal of the existing track and grading of nearby ground surface can be addressed with the subsequent
