Item 3:       Provide flood hazard mapping for each AEP for the developed site based on the hazard
              categories of ARR2019 and include the description of each hazard category on each
              figure.

Applicant’s Response to Item 3: Please refer to Attachment C which provides a Flood Assessment for the
proposal. Flood hazard mapping is provided in the proposed case mapping provided in Appendix B of this
report.


Item 4:         Provide a topographic differences plot so the extent of earthworks for the car parking
                can be clearly understood.

Applicant’s Response to Item 4: Please refer to Attachment C which provides a Flood Assessment for the
proposal. A topography difference map is provided on Image 4-2 of the report and there are no
differences associated with the carpark because it is situated on land currently above the DFE.


Item 5:         Demonstrate the suitability of the pedestrian path across the creek to the car park in
                the event of a flood event.

Applicant’s Response to Item 5: Please refer to Attachment C which provides a Flood Assessment for the
proposal. The report notes that the pedestrian path across the creek to the northern carpark will not be
safe to use during times of flooding and that signage on both sides of the creek should be used to warn
people against crossing the creek during times of flooding. Signage should also direct persons to the
alternative access which is via the pedestrian bridge on Maple Street.


Item 6:         Demonstrate that the access path over the creek meets the relevant Australian
                Standards.

Applicant’s Response to Item 6: Please refer to response above.


Item 7:         Clearly demonstrate how the proposed playground meets the Biodiversity Overlay
                Code for the Riparian Buffer Area, in particular Specific Outcome 5.

Applicant’s Response to Item 7: Please refer to Attachment D which provides an assessment of the
proposal against the Environmental values on site by Callaghan and Toth. The report confirms that the
environmental values of the creek and riparian areas will be able to be maintained through the
refurbishment of the existing biobasins and rehabilitation works on the northern bank.
