Hi Scott,
Further to our conversation the following items are required to be addressed before the assessment can be progressed.

The information required overlaps with the MCU for  Lot 1 for obvious reasons.

Car parking
Issue
Council has concerns with the affect the proposed arbour and planting (works included in this change application) and the covered space for lot 1 will have on the manoeuvring space required to access the carparking for Units 2-11.

Information Required
1	Provide plans of the vehicle manoeuvring paths for vehicles entering and exiting the proposed carparking spaces for units 2-11. The plans must demonstrate:
(a)	That vehicles can enter and exit the space between the existing columns:
(b)	The vehicles must be a B99 vehicle as described in AS/NZS 2890.1:2004,
(c)	The manoeuvring paths must be in accordance with AS/NZS 2890.1:2004,
(d)	Include dimensions of the aisle and;

Issue
Council considers there are 18 existing onsite car parking spaces, of which 14 spaces exist under the building and 4 spaces are parallel to the eastern boundary that comply with Australian Standards. It appears the proposal results in a net loss of 2 car spaces onsite as the arbour has replaced 2 car spaces.

Information Required
2	Provide amended plans indicating 18 car parking spaces on site. The car spaces must comply with AS/NZS 2890.1:2004.

Stormwater

Issue
A new concrete driveway is proposed as indicated on Bark Design Drawing No. DA.001 Revision D. The applicant has not submitted any stormwater design plans that indicate the existing stormwater system or any proposed improvements to the system.

Information Required
3	Provide a plan of the existing and proposed stormwater drainage system. The plan for the proposed system must include a grease and oil arrestor or other stormwater quality improvement device for those areas of the driveway that are being re-laid.

Landscaping

Issue
No landscape details have been provided for the plantings to the garden around the Energex transformer located at the front of the site. The proposal plans indicate all vegetation along the western boundary between car parks 2 and 11 is to be removed. The proposal redesigns the landscape treatment to the pool area and removes gardens within the rear setback.

Information Required
Please provide landscaping plans for the whole site that includes;
(a)	Landscape treatment to the Energex transformer.
(b)	The garden to the eastern side of the retail unit continued around to the front of the building, parallel to Hastings Street boundary.
(c)	The retention of trees along the western boundary between car parks 2 and 11 or alternatively provide sufficient justification for their removal.
(d)	Landscape treatment to the pool surround including the retention of mature Cupaniopsis anacardioides and Pandanus trees.
(e)	Details of the proposed landscape treatment within the rear setback (to the inlet) including the intention for the mature Cupaniopsis anacardioides and Euroschinus falcate located to the south east corner of the building.
