DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR OPERATIONAL WORK (ADVERTISING SIGNAGE)

LOT 3 SP197517

Further to recent correspondence with Council, I am pleased to set out the applicant’s representations
on the above mentioned Decision Notice dated 23 January 2017. Council records will show that the
applicant’s appeal period was suspended on 9 February 2017. The representations relate to two (2)
conditions in the Decision Notice and are discussed below.

Condition 2
Condition 2 references the approved plans for the development. The submitted Signage Plan (DA-08
Rev P5, prepared by Red Dog Architects, dated 19.10.16 – enclosed here) is not included in the list of
approved plans in Condition 2. Subsequent discussions with Council’s Development Planner, Glen
Conforti, have confirmed that the Signage Plan was intended to be included as an approved plan.

It is requested that Condition 2 is amended to reference the submitted Signage Plan.

Condition 27(e)
From the outset, it is reiterated that the applicant intends to incorporate a “best practice” stormwater
design for this site and is committed to working with Council to achieve an outstanding and
sustainable development. The applicant’s civil engineer does however have some concerns with the
current wording of condition 27(e) and requests clarification on the requirements of the condition.

Covey Associates prepared the original Stormwater Management Plan that accompanied the
development application and has since prepared the attached correspondence outlining the concerns
with condition 27(e). Covey Associate’s correspondence requests clarification as to how the Plan of
Development’s water quality targets (as referenced in condition 27(e)) were determined and what
regulations or guidelines they are linked to.

Covey Associates’ explain the differences between “concentration based outcomes” and “load based
reduction targets”. Given the time that has passed since the adoption of the Plan of Development, it is
possible that the guidelines that the POD’s water quality targets are linked to have been superseded
