Development Assessment Report

PROJECT URBAN – 19304                                                                     November 2020

              6.2. Explore the opportunity to retain the 4 canarywood (Polyaltia nitdissima) species
              on the western side of the existing driveway into the property. These trees are likely
              located between the proposed driveway and the pathway to the front boundary;

              Comment: Unfortunately the proposed alignment of the new driveway clashes with
              these particular trees. The landscape architect will looked to use this particular species
              in the new design to help compensate for this loss.

              6.3. Stand of trees including the brushbox in the south eastern corner of the lease
              area which is located on the eastern side of the chain mesh fence. This stand is clearly
              outside the building footprint.

              Comment: Earthworks within the tree protection zones of these trees will be
              minimised to ensure these trees are retained.

              6.4. Explore the opportunity to retain other trees specially brushbox species around
              the eastern communal area.

              Comment: The landscape design intends to retain as many trees as possible in this
              particular area as indicated on the Tree Works Plan within the Landscape Design
              Intent document.


       7. Council would prefer less cut to the northern/eastern part of the lease area to help retain
       trees where practicable. Importing some fill to the south western part of the site would help
       to offset less cut, providing no (or minimal) fill in the setbacks occurs.

       Comment: The proposed earthworks plans minimise the amount of cut required on the
       north/eastern part of the site but due to the prevailing slopes across the site, filling is
       proposed across sections of the western and southern portions of the site.

       8. Application material should include an arborist report outlining construction and design
       methods to retain trees in a healthy state during and post construction.

       Comment: An arborist report is being prepared and will be lodged with Council in the near
       future.

       RoL
       9. It is recommended the RoL for the lease be submitted concurrently with the MCU.

       Comment: A lot reconfiguration application will be submitted by the landowners should
       this application be approved.

       Stormwater Drainage
       10. A stormwater management plan, in accordance with the relevant sections of QUDM,
       should be provided for the development that demonstrates:
           10.1. Stormwater disposal from development into a legal point of discharge.
           10.2. No adverse impact on other properties.
           10.3. No increase in stormwater discharge above the predevelopments rates for all
           storms events up and including 1% AEP.
           10.4. No adverse impact on the performance of the existing downstream drainage
           system/s.

       Comment: A Stormwater Management Plan is included in the supporting documents.
