     A closer examination of the noise contours shows that the units within 40 metres of the
     acoustic fence will be most affected by noise from rail and road sources. In most instances
     the units have a noise shadow from the buildings which again, in most instances is coincident
     with the front patio area of the units. To this extent it is proposed to extend the front patio
     area for those units where the outdoor terrace area would otherwise be adversely affected
     according to the modelled noise outputs. This will provide an alternative outdoor sitting area
     for residents.


     Apartment building two will also be affected by rail and road noises. Attenuation measures
     for the balconies and terraces are shown on Drawing 0588_TP_20 in Attachment 1 to this
     report. The residents will have the elective to close the screens according to their
     responsiveness or sensitivity to the noise impacts.

5.5 Engineering Assessment

     An assessment of the relevant engineering issues and associated codes has been
     undertaken by Brown Consulting – refer Attachment 6.

     It is recognised that many aspects of the codes more particularly relate to issues which would
     ordinarily arise during the detailed design for operational works (civil) phase of the
     development. However, a review of the code requirements has been undertaken to test the
     proposed development and its components to ensure compliance can be reasonably met
     during the detailed design phases.

5.6 Traffic Assessment

     Attachment 7 includes an assessment of traffic generating factors associated with the
     proposed development and potential impacts on the external road network.


     The report shows that the proposed aged care facilities and retirement village will be low
     traffic generators and will not affect the capacity or role of the adjoining roads.

5.7 Infrastructure Contributions

     The proposed development is subject to a number of infrastructure contributions as set out in
     Planning Scheme Policies 12, 16, 17 and 20.
