Outstanding Issues Response (1)

Correspondence has been provided by the project Geotechnical Engineer, Tectonic, which confirms that
the adjoining properties will not be affected. The works will be internally braced, consistent with the
standard process for this type of construction. The following advice was provided:




Please also see attached response from SCG Consulting, who are the project's civil and structural
engineers.

Dewatering will be performed internally as recommended by Tectonic which will not affect adjoining
properties, revetment wall, services and the road formation. A Dewatering Management Plan prepared by
ADG Consulting was lodged with the original application to Council.

Basement setbacks

       1.​Side setbacks don’t appear to have been amended.

Basement setbacks have been significantly improved from the original lodgement of the application to the
information response. Please see plans originally lodged 21/02/25 and revised plans lodged 05/06/25
with the information response.

A comparison of the originally lodged and revised plans have been included below. Figures 1 to 3 show
the Basement Level setbacks, with Figure 1 being the plans originally lodged and Figures 2 and 3 being
the amended plans in response to the Information Request. Compliant basement setbacks to front (6m),
side (1.5m) and rear setbacks (2m) are proposed to each basement level.

With respect to building setbacks, the project engineer has confirmed in the attached advice that the
permanent basement envelope remains consistent with the approved development drawings. The design
does not incorporate any additional contiguous walls or permanent structural elements outside those
documented in the current plans. While temporary retention piling may be installed within the side
setback areas to facilitate excavation, these piles are solely part of the temporary works. Once the
permanent basement walls are constructed, the temporary piles will be made structurally redundant and
will not form part of the permanent building envelope.

Overall, as a direct result of the basement footprint reduction, the provision of deep landscaping has
increased to 164.7m2 / 26.4% (of site area).
