ECM_22343518_v1_Town Planning Assessment Report (1)
Sufficient private open space is provided on site in the form of a terrace and turfed area on the Lower
Level, two separate alfresco areas and a pool on the Main Level and the existing rooftop terrace. New
landscaping will be incorporated to complement the proposed development. More than 20% soft
landscaping is proposed. The proposed design provides a separate pedestrian entry to the site, which
provides clearly identifiable access to the main entrance through the inclusion of a pathway and
landscaping.
The existing driveway will be extinguished, and a new driveway is proposed further to the south to suit
the proposed design. The existing street trees will be maintained with the exception of one existing pine
tree, which will be removed to accommodate the proposed driveway. The Arborist report prepared by
Consult Arborist provides a summary of tree retention status, protection and work requirements for the
site. A total of nine trees are proposed to be removed (noting that of these nine, three may be
transplanted if deemed appropriate) and fifteen trees will be retained to accommodate the proposal. The
report indicates that the nominated trees for removal of transplanting are awarded a low retention status,
and some are in poor condition.
Waste collection will be provided as per previous arrangements via kerbside collection on the nominated
day of collection. The site can be connected to all essential services.
The proposed lawful point of discharge for the roofwater from the proposed development shall be The
Esplanade kerb and channel via the construction of a new kerb outlet. Runoff from the upper impervious
ground level areas shall be directed to a soakage trench with the remaining lower pervious areas
continuing to discharge to the east as sheet flow. Roofwater runoff from the proposed development shall
be collected on site and directed to the new outlet via the construction of new on site drainage. Refer to
Stormwater Management Report prepared by Westera Partners.
The Coastal Hazard Assessment prepared by Royal Haskoning Australia confirms that the proposed
extension is unlikely to be subject to erosion from the sea during the expected asset lifespan (i.e. 60
years for a residential house). The assessment further recommends a site-specific slope stability
assessment is undertaken to inform the foundation design to mitigate potential beach erosion impacts
associated with future climate changes.
The Geotechnical Investigation prepared by Tectonic confirms the proposed extension results in Low Risk
of slope instability subject to the recommendations outlined in section 7.0 of the report.
