PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                             10 NOVEMBER 2020


                 ii.    Where the field results and re-run MUSIC node demonstrate the required
                        pollution reduction efficiencies for the development are not met, the
                        applicant must implement additional measures to achieve the required
                        pollution reduction targets. The additional measures must include, in order
                        of priority, elevated maintenance, and then increased treatment capacity of
                        the stormwater quality improvement devices. Following application of
                        additional measures, the system must be retested in accordance with
                        Stormwater Australia (2018) Stormwater Quality Improvement Device
                        Evaluation Protocol. Version 1.2 December 2018. Where pollution
                        reduction targets continue to not be demonstrated the proprietary device
                        must be removed and replaced with a bio-retention device constructed in
                        accordance with an Operational Works approval or the applicant must enter
                        into an agreement with Council to provide improved water quality outcomes
                        within the catchment area.
                 iii.   A separate water quality performance bond must be provided prior to the
                        issue of an Operational Works approval for Civil Infrastructure and
                        Stormwater for Stage 1. The water quality performance bond must be
                        150% of the cost of water quality monitoring required to comply with
                        Stormwater Australia (2018) Stormwater Quality Improvement Device
                        Evaluation Protocol. Version 1.2 December 2018. The performance bond
                        will be incrementally returned annually for the value of monitoring works
                        completed that year. The full value of the bond shall be returned upon
                        demonstration that the development delivers the required pollution
                        reduction targets.
C.   Delete condition 21.
D.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.


REPORT
1.   PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks approval to change to an existing development approval in the form of design
changes to the Residential Aged Care building, including the provision of 6 additional beds, and
amendment to the staging of the approval.
The applicant advises….The proposed minor change to the RAC involves amending the
configuration of the development so that beds are located around central living and service areas
for improved functionality and amenity for residents. The revised design also improves infection
control within the new facility which is particularly important in light of COVID-19.
The changes are largely kept within the approved building footprint, with only minor amendments
to building setbacks. The changes result in additional beds being able to be provided for the
community but we note, importantly that there has been no increase in Gross Floor Area (GFA)
proposed.
As a consequence of the internal layout changes, modifications to the elevations are also required.
This has presented an opportunity to improve the development’s aesthetic…….
The approved development currently comprises three stages, consisting of:
   Stage 1: RAC, central facilities, ILAs above the central facilities and 50% of ILUs
   Stage 2: Remaining 50% of ILUs
   Stage 3: Four buildings for the ILAs.
