MCU25.0067 Response to Further Advice

As per Council’s request, the applicant has undertaken amendments to the concept to address concerns
relating to plot ratio and site coverage, which are demonstrated on the updated architectural plans
prepared by Studio Workshop Architects.

Meaningful changes have been made to both the site cover and plot ratio for the development, as detailed
further below.

Site Coverage
The site coverage for the amended concept has been calculated at 40%, in compliance with Performance
Outcome PO7 of the High density residential zone code. A further breakdown of the site coverage
calculations for each floor level can be seen on DWG DA04 of the attached updated architectural plans.

GFA & Plot Ratio
The total Gross Floor Area (GFA) of the development has also been reduced to 376m 2 with the plot ratio
being a total of 0.75:1. A breakdown of the GFA calculations for each floor level can be seen on DWG
DA07 of the attached plans.

It is acknowledged that a plot ratio of 0.75:1 is proposed. However, as detailed in our response to the
Information Request, the proposed plot ratio is consistent with the overall outcomes, as the built form
aligns with the intended character of the area and broader policy intent to support accommodation for key
workers.

The proposed development delivers a land use that aligns with the intent of small dwellings, providing an
affordable housing typology and arguably more affordable than a small multiple dwelling format.

Furthermore, the development generally complies with the relevant built form parameters, including site
cover and setbacks, consistent with the expectations of the High Density Residential Zone Code. On this
basis, the proposal represents an appropriate and well-resolved outcome that satisfies the purpose and
overall outcomes of the Code.

2.   Issue - Waste

 The applicant’s response to Item 5 – Waste of Council’s Request for Information does not include a Waste
 Management Plan pursuant to SC6.10.2 of Planning Scheme Policy 9 Waste Management.

 Council acknowledges that the opportunity to provide an on-site, bulk bin waste arrangement is limited and is
 supportive of kerb-side collection.

 Information Required
 Provide a Waste Management Plan in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy 9 Waste Management. The
 Waste Management Plan must be prepared by a suitably qualified person and include, but not be limited to:
      a) the waste generation per unit, with justification where generation per unit is less than 120L
               ▪ Note that Council’s Waste Department have indicated support for a reduced waste
                   generation rate of 60L per unit
      b) either of the following servicing arrangements:
             i)    2 x 360L bins serviced 3 times a week; or
            ii)    3 x 360L bins serviced 2 times a week.
               ▪ Note that Council’s Waste Department have indicated that option “i.” is preferred and that
                   the option to revise the number of bins and collections can be revised upon commencement
                   of the use
      c) details of how servicing will occur (i.e., on-site manager to present and collect bins each servicing day)

Please see the attached Waste Management Plan prepared by Rhodium Environmental which addresses
the above matters. To summarise:
    a) A waste generation rate of 60L/unit has been adopted, as supported by Council’s Waste
        Department.
