native or regulated vegetation nor is it part of any regional ecosystems. At most, vegetation
on the site is sections of re-growth and small to medium sized groupings of grass species.
The proposed development will include landscaped sections facing the street totalling
344.6 sq/m (17.4% of the site) which will include preferred endemic species suited to the
area, (refer to attached landscape plans for details). This is above the required landscape
requirements as specified in the relevant sections of the Planning Scheme. It was the client’s
intention to provide a landscape environment that would soften the built form and accentuate
their business premises as a positive environmental statement within the industrial area.

As a result future vegetation and therefore the subsequent biodiversity of this site will be
improved. Best practice erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented during
construction and appropriate drainage networks will be put in place to ensure minimal impact
on the surrounding waterways from runoff from the site.


       8.3 Earthworks Code
The proposed development achieves the specific outcomes of the Earth Works Code as
detailed in the attached Engineering Drawings.


       8.4 Erosion and Sediment Control Code
The proposed development achieves the specific outcomes of the Erosion and Sediment
Control Code as detailed in the attached Engineering Drawings.

       8.5 Existing Services Code

The proposed development achieves the specific outcomes of the Existing Services Code as
detailed in the attached Engineering Drawings

       8.6 Transport, Roads and Drainage Code
The proposed development achieves the specific outcomes of the Transport, Roads and
Drainage Code as detailed in the attached Engineering Drawings. There is some existing
pedestrian/cycle path along the frontage of the site at present, however the proposed
development has been designed to accommodate more pathway along the western
frontage. Refer to Empire Engineers civil drawings.


       8.7 Waste Management Code

The proposed development achieves the specific outcomes of the Waste Management Code
as contained within Table 14-60. Please refer to the attached Building Design Drawings
prepared by us reflecting the detail, location, storage and waste management receptor as
required within the applicable table

       8.8 Water Sensitive Design Code
The proposed development achieves the specific outcome of the Water Sensitive Design
Code as detailed in the attached Engineering Drawings.
