Town Planning Report                                                                           January 2018


     (g) Building Height – The unit component of the development development comprises six separate
         buildings, wherein each building has been designed such that they do not exceed a maximum
         building height of 12 metres above natural ground.


     (h) Car parking and access – The proposed units all achieve access via Attunga Heights via a standard
         driveway crossover. A total of thirty-two (32) car spaces are provided on site as follows:
              Twelve (12) double garage spaces (1 per unit);
              Eight (8) unenclosed visitor spaces, all of which are readily accessible from Attunga Heights
               entrance to the development.

         All car parking spaces are accessible via the common driveway and have been located in such a
         manner that they do not dominate the road frontage of the site. The driveway access and turning
         circle area for the car parking spaces have been designed in accordance with Australian Standards
         and allows for the vehicles to enter and exit the site in a forward gear.

     (i) Landscaping – The landscaping design for the proposed development will support and complement
         the built form of the development whilst promoting the local neighbourhood and environmental
         character of the locality. The landscaping theme will be attractive, responsive to the architectural
         design, functional, low maintenance, and enhance the comfort and safety of users of the site. The
         detailed design of landscaping will be demonstrated as part of a subsequent Operational Works
         application.


     (j) Clothes Drying – Each dwelling unit will be provided with individual clothes drying facilities. The
         specific location and type of drying facilities will be determined on a unit by unit basis, depending
         on design, layout and location.


30. The following technical information is appended to this report to allow a full assessment of the
    application:


        (a) Geotechnical Report – Core Consultants were commissioned to undertake a geotechnical
              assessment of the subject land for the proposed development. A copy of the report is provided
              at Attachment 5. The purpose of the investigation was to assess geotechnical conditions and
              slope stability risks. The report reviews the previous geotechnical investigation and concludes
              that the original recommendations remain applicable to the revised development concept. The
              recommendations include minimising the amount of fill required, nomination of suitable footing
              treatments and recommendations regarding drainage and erosion management. This report
              provides satisfactory evidence to conclude that development on the site can be adequately
              managed through the implementation of appropriate engineering solutions.
