GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                15 JANUARY 2018


            83.1.4   Revised hours of operation to no later than midnight;
      83.2 Formulate and implement a Noise Management Plan to deal with noise emissions
           from the premises including patron noise.
      83.3 The applicant must advise prospective purchasers that a noise management plan has
           been prepared to manage noise emissions related to the development.
      83.4 The Noise Management Plan referred to in Condition 83.2 shall be incorporated in
           perpetuity in the By-Laws of the Body Corp for the building.
      83.5 The Noise Management Plan shall include a process for dealing with complaints and
           specify that the Restaurant Management and Body Corp Manager be responsible for
           dealing with any noise complaints.
Condition 96
96.   The rear 2 metres of Blocks 7, 8 and 9 is to be extensively landscaped and no structures or
      swimming pools are to be located in these areas. No access is to be provided from the rear
      of these Blocks to Resort Drive
Applicant’s requested change
It is noted that this condition has been introduced as a consequence of the most recent change
approval, and we note that previous representations were made that this condition should be
either deleted or amended to allow structures and / or swimming pools in the rear 2 metres of
these blocks. We maintain our previous position, and reiterate that this has significant design
implications for these buildings as well as will adversely impact on the area of useable outdoor
open space for future occupants of these units.
As reflected in the approved plans of development, there are only 6 plunge pools intended along
the rear of these blocks, each of which have been intentionally sited to ensure a seamless
integration into the overall design of the development, whilst also achieving a high quality
presentation to the adjacent Resort Drive.
It is understood that Council imposed the requirement that no structures or swimming pools are
to be located within a 2m landscape setback primarily to ensure that existing vegetation
(including koala food trees) along the Resort Drive frontage are retained. The proposed
development achieves this landscape outcome without the need to setback pools and structures
an additional 2 metres. In particular, a significant number of trees will be retained along the
Resort Drive frontage as required by conditions 5.5 and 6 of the most recent decision notices.
An updated Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) has been prepared (refer attached) which
demonstrates the number of trees able to be retained, subject to arborist certification during the
detailed engineering phase of the project. As reflected in the VMP “tree protection zones” and a
“tree protection fence” are proposed to delineate those trees anticipated as being retained, the
majority of which are generally clear of the construction zone for the plunge swimming pools and
boundary fences. Of those trees that are nominated as being removed by the VMP, they are
generally located within the areas of private open space for units 7, 8 & 9 and sited such that
they would significantly impede on the usability of those spaces. It is understood that buffer
planting is intended to be provided along Resort Drive in proximity of where trees are anticipated
as being removed.
In addition, in respect of trees proposed to be retained, where it is practical to do so directional
drilling techniques will be utilised to construct utility services along Resort Drive, to ensure tree
retention.
To assist Council’s assessment of the proposed change to condition 96, the following information
will be submitted under separate cover:-
    Arboricultural assessment of trees to be retained;
    Landscape Concept Plan demonstrating landscaping outcomes along the site frontage and
      within the private open space of Blocks 7 – 9.
