Development Application part 2 of 2 Report and Plans MCU13/0030

EXISTING SERVICES CODE
A summary of the proposed development’s compliance with the purpose of the Existing Services Code
is included below.


The purpose ofthis code is to ensure:
    a) Existing Council owned underground infrastructure is protected from potential or actual
       damage caused by development;
    b) Underground infrastructure is accessible for maintenance purposes; and
    c) Existing services are identified and methods ofprotection and access are implemented in the
       design ofthe development.

Comment: The site and premises is currently connected to all necessary services. The proposal will
not conflict with the intent of the Existing Services Code.



TRANSPORT, ROADS AND DRAINAGE CODE
A summary of the proposed development’s compliance with the purpose of the Transport, Roads and
Drainage Code is included below.

The purpose ofthis code is to ensure:


    a) Development is consistent with the intentions ofthe strategic transport network, which is to--
         i. improve the coordination between transport and land use, to avoid excessive motor
            vehicle travel;
        ii. minimise the environmental and social impacts of transport on the natural and urban
                environment;
         iii.   increase the use of walking, cycling, bus, train and ferry modes and minimise the use of
                the private car;
         iv.    ensure that vehicle access to the   development does not compromise the capacity and
                safety ofthe road system;
          v.    not increase the scale ofthe road network beyond that currently planned; and
         vi.    ensure that   development appropriately attenuates noise from adjoining roads.
    b)   Development works are designed and constructed to a standard that meets community
      expectations, prevents unacceptable off-site impacts and optimizes whole oflife cycle costs;
   c) Roads are designed and constructed to satisfy their specified functions and provide an
      appropriate level of flood immunity (including local flooding on roads, i. e. through sufficient
      kerb storage capacity);
   d) Developmentprovides appropriate buffering between noise sensitive uses and the major road
      network and rail corridors;
   e) Roads are designed and constructed to be compatible with the existing road network and
      hierarchy and to provide a safe environment for vehicular traffic, pedestrians and cycliSts;
   f) Intersections and access points are designed and constructed to retain the low key
      development style and slower pace enjoyed by residents and visitors;
   g) Road and drainage infrastructure is constructed to a standard that minimizes ongoing
      maintenance costs;
   h) Drainage systems are ’designed and constructed with capacity to effectively manage or
      convey the design flow;
   i) Road and drainage infrastructure is compatible with other infrastructure; and
   j) Road and drainage infrastructure does not create any adverse impacts upon environmental
      values associated with biodiversity, hydrological cycles, biophysical resources and air quality.


Comment: The proposed development will achieve compliance with the Specific Outcomes of the
Code. This will be addressed in further detail in a subsequent Operational Works application.
