Additional information is required to demonstrate compliance with PO10(c)(e) of the Flood
Hazard Overlay Code – i.e., filling will not cause adverse impacts or additional ponding on
adjacent properties.
Information Required
1.   Provide additional detail to demonstrate compliance with Performance Outcome 10 (c)
     and (e) of the Flood Hazard Overlay Code. The additional detail must be prepared by a
     suitably qualified person (RPEQ).


Issue – Garage Carpark Manoeuvring
Council requires further information to demonstrate that the proposed garage and driveway
layout accommodates for on-site parking in accordance with PO13 of the Dual Occupancy
and Multiple Dwelling Code.
Information Required
2.   Provide vehicle turn paths demonstrating that a B85 vehicle can enter and exit each
     garage carpark. The turn paths must assume the adjacent carpark is occupied and
     comply with Figure 5.2 of AS2890.1.
     Note that vehicles are not required to exit the site in a forward gear.


Issue – Conflicting Footpath Widths
Skale’s Conceptual plan – Ground floor (05, Rev, DA02) dated 16 May 2025 proposes a 1.8m
wide footpath along the site’s frontage.
SCG’s Driveway & Access Plan (00469-OW4.1) dated March 2025 proposes a 1.2m wide
footpath along the site’s frontage.
Table SC6.7.2 of PSP6 Engineering Design Standards requires a minimum footpath width of
1.5m.
Information Required
3.   Provide revised drawings to include a 1.5m wide footpath for the length of the site’s
     frontage to George Street width in accordance with SC6.7.2 of PSP6 Engineering
     Design Standards for a ‘Local’ order road.




                                                                                   Page 2 of 5

Issue – Landscaping Conflicting with Stormwater Tanks
Refer to the below comparison of SCG’s Stormwater Management Plan and Skale’s
Landscape – Ground Plan.




Skale have proposed 200mm FOXTAILS above the proposed in-ground 3,000L stormwater
tanks.
Information Required
4.   Provide confirmation that the proposed FOXTAIL shrubs are appropriate to be planted
     above the proposed in-ground stormwater tanks.


Issue – Site Cover
It appears that the site cover of the proposed development exceeds 40% for both levels of the
development.
Information Required
5.   Provide a calculation of the proposed site cover in accordance with Council’s definition,
     clearly identifying what elements can be excluded from the calculation. Additionally,
     submit updated plans that reduce the scale of the development to achieve compliance
     with the site cover requirement of 40% for both storeys/levels.


Issue – Amenity and Overlooking
The proposed terraces on the southern, western and northern elevation of development
appear to create opportunities for overlooking into the private open space areas of the
adjoining property to the west.
There seems to also be windows which have the potential to overlook the private open space
of nearby properties or view into habitable room windows within 10 metres of the development.




                                                                                      Page 3 of 5

Information Required
6.   In accordance with AO20.1-20.5/PO20 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code
     provide amended plans that address the potential for overlooking into the private open
     space areas of the adjoining properties.


Issue – Fence Heights
The combination of the proposed fencing and site filling to achieve flood immunity results in
an overall fence height of 2.8 metres, measured relative to the existing ground levels of the
adjoining development along the side and rear boundaries.


Information Required
7.   Address this issue to ensure that the amenity of the adjoining developments is
     maintained in terms of maintaining access to sunlight and less visually dominate.


Issue – Eaves
The main roof of the development is required to have at a minimum 600 millimetre eaves to at
least 75% of the perimeter of the building.
Information Required
8.   Provide amended plans that address AO19.1/PO19 of the Medium Density Residential
     Zone Code.


Issue - Landscaping
The submitted landscape plans do not demonstrate compliance with the minimum landscape
area requirements necessary to facilitate effective visual screening and buffering. These
measures are essential to mitigate the visual bulk and scale of the development in a manner
proportionate to its intensity and built form.
Information Required
9.   Provide revised landscape plans prepared by a suitably qualified landscape architect in
     accordance with the requirements of the PSP2 – Landscaping, and that incorporate the
     following:
     a)    a layout that includes a minimum 1 metre wide planted landscape garden along
           the western boundary. The garden is required to incorporate vegetation
           incorporating trees and tall shrubs to assist in the screening of neighbouring
           properties.
     b)    Additional screening vegetation, with vertical scale, is to be provided along the
           northern, and southern boundaries to buffer the built form when viewed from
           neighbouring properties. Ensure planting includes appropriate height screening
           plants (minimum 4-5 metres in height at maturity)
     c)    Provision of two street trees within the George Street Road Reserve.
