Planning Report

        v. loss of native remnant or regrowth vegetation; and
    b) Earthworks are designed and constructed to be structurally sound.

Comment: The proposal will be able to achieve compliance to all Specific Outcomes of the
Earthworks Code. Detailed compliance will be demonstrated in a subsequent Operational Works
Application.


                               EROSION CONTROL CODE

The purpose of this code is to ensure:
   a) there is no significant environmental harm caused by the effects of erosion and sediment
       transport associated with development;
   b) disturbed areas are stabilised and restored promptly and effectively; and
   c) disturbance of land is minimised.

Comment: The proposal will be able to achieve compliance to all Specific Outcomes of the Erosion
Control Code. Detailed compliance will be demonstrated in a subsequent Operational Works
Application.


                              EXISTING SERVICES CODE

The purpose of this 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 of protection and access are implemented in the
       design of the development.

Comment: The site is currently serviced by all required urban services. The proposal will be able to
achieve compliance to all Specific Outcomes of the Existing Services Code. Existing Council
infrastructure will be protected, or replaced at the developer’s cost if damaged.


                   TRANSPORT ROADS AND DRAINAGE CODE

The purpose of this code is to ensure:
   a) Development is consistent with the intentions of the 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. vensure that vehicle access to the development does not compromise the capacity and
             safety of the road system;
         v. not increase the scale of the 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 of life 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) Development provides appropriate buffering between noise sensitive uses and the major road
       network and rail corridors;
