Issue 10 – External Works

Condition 6 of the Higher Order Approval (RAL19/0014) seeks that the development provide
kerb and channel and a footpath for the full length of the site’s frontage to Pottery Street.
The engineering plans does not include a footpath and kerb and channel for the full length of
the site’s frontage to Pottery Street.

Information Required

10. Provide amended plans that includes a 1.5m wide footpath and kerb and channel for the
full length of the site’s frontage to Pottery Street. The southern leg of future kerb and
channel must be generally consistent with the existing road alignment.
Note: Council recognise that an opportunity may exist to remove “5/A” and redesign
“6/A” as a kerb inlet pit to capture flows for the requested kerb and channel.

Response

Kerb and channel and footpath have been extended for the full length of the development
frontage on Pottery Street. Refer revised drawings.



Issue 11 – fencing to protected land

The application cover letter states:
“We believe that condition 25f(ii) of RAL19/0014 contradicts the requirements in condition 31
and have adopted the requirements of condition 25f(ii) by not showing a fence along the
eastern side of the covenant area…”

Council does not accept this position. Construction of a fence along the eastern boundary of
the covenant area is considered essential to ensure the long-term protection and effective
management of the covenant. This fencing provides a clear physical barrier to safeguard the
environmental values within the covenant area and assists the owners of Lot 8 in managing
their land appropriately.

Conditions 25f(ii) and 31 are not inconsistent and can be satisfied concurrently. Access to the
covenant area can be facilitated through the installation of a gate from the existing easement
within Lot 8, enabling entry for emergency and management purposes while maintaining the
required fencing to protect the area.

Information Required
11. Provide a revised plan (Roadworks and drainage plan, drawing no. 19660-C201, dated
13/02/26) nominating the eastern boundary of the covenant area to be fenced in
accordance with condition 31 of the higher order approval (RAL19/0014), and include a
gate for access to the covenant area via lot 8 to satisfy condition 25(ii) and provide
access for the future ongoing management of the covenant.
