MCU16.0099.01, RAL19.0036 & OPW 19.0282.01 - Response to Information Request (final) 10.03.2020 · MCU16/0099.01

5      Provide confirmation if an easement will be registered over the proposed underground
       electricity supply line to the NBN tower. It should be noted that the proposed electricity
       line installation must prevent adverse impact and damage to existing trees and natural
       vegetation, where necessary open trenching must be avoided and conduits or cable
       installed by underground boring and under the supervision of a qualified arborist.
An easement is not proposed to be registered over the proposed underground electricity installation.
The proposed underground electricity installation will be located solely within the subject site and will
run east to west from the driveway located on the subject site to the approved facility located at the
rear of the property. The proposed electricity installation will be installed under the current lease
arrangement with the land owner.
Response to Issue 4 above outlines the potential of impacts of tunnel boring on seven trees along the
corridor either side of the electricity installation. To minimise impacts, open trenching will only be
undertaken in areas void of existing trees as indicated in the amended proposal plans (refer
Appendix A). A qualified arborist can be in attendance during underground boring at Council’s request.

6      Where a registered easement is not proposed over the proposed underground electricity
       supply, provide confirmation that the lease agreement with the owner of Lot 47 on
       RP136461 covers legal right of access to the NBN lease area through the subject parcel
       of land.
The current lease arrangement with the land owners of Lot 47 (the subject site) allows the lawful
installation of power on the premises. The applicable cabling clause within the lease document is
referenced below.
    5.4 Cabling
    (a) For the purpose of the operation of NBN Co’s telecommunications facility, network and service,
    the Landlord will permit NBN Co to:
         (i) install, erect, construct, dismantle, maintain, repair, replace, vary, add and use above or
         below ground cabling to and from the Premises and any other installations NBN Co and to
         adjoining roads or services.
nbn is able to provide further details on the lease agreement at Council’s request.

7      Provide clarification that the applicant seeks to completely remove the OPW aspect of
       the combined application or further change the application to remove the waterway
       barrier works and include OPW for the other works that will be required as a result of the
       proposal such as tree clearing, driveway crossover and track construction, providing the
       necessary drawings and information (certified by an RPEQ) to satisfy an operational
       works assessment.
A request to obtain an updated Confirmation Notice to clarify all relevant aspects of the application
was issued to Council on 27 February 2020. The purpose of the request was to include the correct
Operational Works (OPW) component of the development application in addition to the Material
Change of Use (MCU) and Reconfiguring of a Lot (RAL) components. Please note that the previous
OPW component involving the waterway is no longer subject to this application as nbn does not
propose any waterway barrier works within the waterway.
Council approved this change request and provided an updated Confirmation Notice to Aurecon on
3 March 2020. The updated proposal plans (refer Appendix A) and additional reports are provided in
response to this information request.
