PM Submission - Nicole Noonan - MCU25/0118

                     On-site detention capacity is insufficient. Calculations suggest the current design can
                     hold less than 20 minutes of rainfall.

                     Recent storms (30 Oct and 15 Nov) were not major storms, yet Lake Macdonald Drive
                     became impassable after 64mm of rain.

                     Some storm events in this area last a week or more, delivering hundreds of millimetres of
                     rain, saturating the ground.

                     All stormwater from the 64 LMD subdivision flows under LMD at the nearby
                     intersection. This system is at high risk of blockage from debris (e.g., from the existing
                     dam), which would cut off neighbourhood access.

                     Removal of vegetation on the hill has eliminated natural retardation of runoff, increasing
                     flooding risks in the environmental reserve below Dianella Court.


                     6) Car-Parking, Traffic, and Safety Concerns

                     Insufficient Parking

                     The DA provides only 31 car parks (25 + 6 visitor spaces). This is inadequate for:

                     15 x 1-bedroom units

                     10 x 2-bedroom units

                     These could reasonably account for 35 cars before visitors or tradespeople, creating
                     overflow parking on Dianella Court and potential safety hazards near the new access road.

                     Poor Sight Lines

                     Vehicles exiting the new development will have limited visibility to the south due to the
                     location of No. 2 Dianella Court and potential parked cars. This creates a collision risk
                     for existing residents driving down to the corner.

                     Unwanted Cemetery Through-Traffic

                     The road reserve created under RAL25/0004 on the southern boundary appears to allow
                     cemetery traffic into Dianella Court. Residents were previously told by Council that this
                     corridor would be a green space footpath, not a road. It should remain as originally
                     represented.
