Development Assessment Report

PROJECT URBAN – 22070                                                                    October 2022

ACCESS AND PARKING

Due to the scale of the use two separate vehicular access points are proposed.

The main front of house access for guests and visitors is off the Grant Street roundabout. This
entry will direct guests to the hotel setdown and valet area, with visitors directed to the basement
carpark.

The back of house access for service vehicles and staff is off the Serenity Close cul-de-sac head.

This changed access arrangement from the currently approved access to Serenity Close will
provide significant amenity benefit improvements to Serenity Close.

Sufficient onsite car parking and service vehicle provision is achieved as shown on the proposal
plans and detailed in the attached Traffic engineering report.

LANDSCAPING

Landscaping treatments to soften the built form, provide onsite amenity, integrate with the
surrounding environment, and contribute to ecological enhancement of the Environmental
Management and Conservation Zoned portion of the site, will be provided in accordance with the
attached Landscape Concept plan.

Landscape will comprise large areas of deep planting combined with deep podium gardens and
mounding to host the robust green belt of the native Paper Bark trees. These large canopy
species providing shade and a beautiful veil of green and vertical natural tones of the bark to
compliment the central building spine combined with vast understorey of native Matt Rush,
Native Rosemary, Midgenberry and Viola.

Further horizontal layers of the many roof gardens throughout the spine hold sun hardened
vertical trailing species of Coastal Rosemary and Beach Bayhops contrasted by the rising
sculptural forms of large native cycads to further compliment the built forms.

The resorts Environmental Management and Conservation zone area which forms the backdrop
and buffer to the south will be retained and enhanced. The existing canopy of 4-14m high trees
will be complemented with proposed additional native species planting.

Total landscape area exceeds more than 30% of site area.

INFRASTRUCTURE & SERVICING

The site will be connected to all necessary infrastructure. Stormwater will be appropriately
managed in accordance with the attached Stormwater Management Plan.

Waste will be stored in the basement service area with onsite collection and manoeuvring for
waste vehicles available. Refer attached Operational waste management plan and Traffic
engineering report.
