Application & Report - Earthworks - Michael Lyell · OPW26/0095

                 Application Assessment
                 In accordance with Table 5.8.3 (Operational Works – Table of Assessment), the application is
                 required to be assessed against the following codes:
                     •    Earthworks Code;
                     •    Water Quality and Drainage Code; and,
                     •    Landslide Hazard Overlay Code.


                 A high-level assessment against the codes is provided below, with further detail provided within
                 the Civil Engineering Plans (Attachment 1). It is also noted that the development has been
                 designed to meet the driveway design requirements for a Dwelling House and therefore further
                 assessment of the associated criteria has not been undertaken.


                 Earthworks Code
                     •    AO1 – The development contains gradients of >1%;
                     •    AO3.1 - AO3.2, AO4.1 – Development earthworks will be undertaken in accordance
                          Council’s standards;
                     •    AO4.2 – Site earthworks can be conditioned to occur between the hours of 7:00am to
                          6:00pm, Monday to Friday and 7:00am to 3:00pm on Saturday;
                     •    AO5.1 – AO5.4 – Vegetation Clearing is not required for the establishment of the driveway;
                     •    AO6.1 – AO6.2 – The site is not located on the Contaminated Land Register. No site import
                          is required;
                     •    PO7 – Haulage conditions can be applied as part of the Development Permit;
                     •    AO8 – All earthworks are proposed to be contained within the subject site;
                     •    AO9 – The extent of cut/fill exceeds 1.5m in depth relative to ground level, with the cut
                          being around 2.35m. It is noted that the proposed development presents the most
                          sensitive design outcome noting the considerable slope of the land and follows the
                          natural topography as far as practicable, whilst maintaining vehicular accessibility.
                          Accordingly, the development achieves compliance with Performance Outcome PO9;
                     •    PO10 – The proposed earthworks do not interfere with any infrastructure;
                     •    PO11 – The proposed earthworks do not interfere with waterways and wetlands;
                     •    AO12.1 – AO12.3, PO13, AO14.1 – AO14.4 – The development does not propose dams or
                          constructed lakes.


                 Water Quality and Drainage Code
                     •    AO1, AO2.1 – AO2.4, AO3.1, AO4.1 – AO4.5, AO5.1 – AO5.3, AO10, AO11.1 – AO11.5, AO13.1
                          – AO13.2 - The earthworks are for a driveway in the Rural Zone, with stormwater runoff
                          from the driveway discharging to landscaped pervious surfaces. Therefore, a stormwater
                          management plan is not required in support of the application;
