MCU260003 - Response to Information Request

Item – Stormwater Drainage

The proposal plan includes a significant increase in roof area and other impervious areas.

It is unclear how the proposed development avoids worsening the local drainage of adjoining properties
pursuant to AO21(c) and associated PO of the Low Density Housing Code.

Information Required

   5. Provide additional detail demonstrating how surface runoff from roofed and other impervious areas will
      be managed to avoid impacting on the local drainage of adjoining properties. The additional detail must
      be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ).

Response:

The revised proposal plans for the development show the stormwater for roofed and impervious areas
connected to the table drain located within the Grady Street road reserve (refer Attachment 1). Given the
nature of the use being for a dwelling, with a secondary dwelling, it not necessary or reasonable for the
stormwater system to be designed by an RPEQ. This position is entirely consistent for the construction of any
dwelling and secondary dwelling under the planning scheme in a residential zone. The fact that the land is
included within the Community Facilities Zone does not change the material nature of the use.

Item – Setbacks

The setback of 3 metres for the proposed shed and carport to Grady Street is not supported. This reduced setback
does not preserve the visual amenity of the adjoining and nearby properties.

Information Required


   6. A 6-metre setback is required to preserve existing vegetation that will buffer the development and help
      protect natural character.

Response:

The revised plans show an increased building setback of the proposed shed to 6.0m from the outermost
projection from the front boundary, consistent with the expected building setback under the Community
Facilities Zone Code (AO19.1).

Item – Boundaries

The site property boundary to the north is required to be fenced or landscaped to identify private and public
land, specifically where the site adjoins the Kin Kin Tennis Club to the north.

Information Required

   7. Provide details of how this property boundary will be clearly identifiable with public and private spaces
      clearly defined.
