Item 3: Update all flood mapping figures to show the extent of the car parking works on all
figures.

Applicant’s Response to Item 3: The carpark proposed under MCU20/0012 has been relocated to be totally
contained within Lot 5 on SP213104. This carpark is above the DFE and has been excluded from the flood
assessment.


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

Applicant’s Response to Item 4: Please refer to Attachment A 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: Clarify the level of flood immunity achieved for proposed facilities and infrastructure
such as toilets, shelters, bbqs.

Applicant’s Response to Item 5: Please refer to Attachment A which provides a Flood Assessment for the
proposal prepared by Hydrology and Water Management Consulting. The report indicates that cross sections
through the site are shown on Image 7-4 which show proposed case ground levels along with design
flood levels. Design flood levels are shown on Image 7-3 at key locations.


Item 6: Provide further advice on the consequences of the predicted flood impacts to the
Council-owned land at 4-8 Lower Mill Rd. Although owned by Council, this land contains tenants
which may be affected by the predicted flood impacts. Either eliminate the flood impacts from
this parcel or justify why the consequences of these impacts should be acceptable. In the
response, provide surveyed floor levels for each of the tenancies and specifically comments on
the existing flood immunity of the tenancies and whether the development will increase over-
floor flooding (either frequency of occurrence or depths).

Applicant’s Response to Item 6: Please refer to Attachment A which provides a Flood Assessment for the
proposal prepared by Hydrology and Water Management Consulting. The report indicates that there is no
over-floor flooding of the buildings.


Item 7: Demonstrate that the development is resilient to natural hazard events by ensuring siting
and design accounts for and minimises potential risks of natural hazards to people and property.
In this regard, clearly demonstrate how the proposed design and materials minimise potential
risks of natural hazards to people and property.

Applicant’s Response to Item 7: Please refer to Attachment B and C which provide a summary of design
changes proposed. The changes include:
