The 600 metre buffer is also noted on the Plan of Development. However, it is noted the buffer
and Plan of Development were approved and adopted prior to the upgrading of the treatment
plant. A detailed odour assessment report as prepared by Pacific Air and Environment PTY LTD is
included within the application. The report supports the proposed development as it concludes
there will be no unacceptable odour impacts on the proposed residential use of precinct J. In
accordance with the findings of the assessment, no formal application to amend condition 14.1 of
the original rezoning approval is required as an approval by the Council will automatically override
condition 14.1 by virtue of s6.1.35B of the Integrated Planning Act 1997.

We make reference to an Engineering Report as prepared by Tate Engineers PTY LTD, which
demonstrates that key infrastructure can be managed in accordance with Council policy. The
Engineering Report forms part of the application.

State Planning Policy 2/02 – Planning and Managing Development involving Acid Sulfate Soils

We do not anticipate that any part of the subdivision will require excavation below 5 metres AHD
however, we are mindful that such a situation may occur. To this end we make reference to the
Geotechnical Report which accompanies the Development Application. We will not be in a position
to categorically state this until we are advised of the details of the approval and associated
conditions by the Council. When this information is available detailed calculations can be
undertaken and the amount of excavation, if necessary, within the hazard area can be identified.
We respectfully request that the Council impose a reasonable and relevant condition requiring that,
if necessary, an Acid Sulfate Soil Management Plan be prepared prior to the issuing of Operational
Works permits.
