Land Development Vehicle Access A 5.5 metre wide concrete crossover driveway shall be constructed from Serenity Close generally in accordance with Council’s Standard Drawing R-0051. The driveway shall be designed and constructed to Council’s design standards and to grades that prevent vehicles from scraping and/or bottoming whilst also allowing pedestrians movements along the footpath without any level difference. Should any driveways be constructed to grades that do not comply with Council’s Standards or AS/NZS 2890.1-2004, Council will require that the driveway be removed and reconstructed to levels that do comply. Please note, a step between the driveway and the footpath shall be avoided, as it is preferred to have the footpath continue at a constant grade to minimise the potential for pedestrians to trip or fall. All vehicles shall enter and leave the site in a forward direction. Full engineering details of the proposed driveway and carparking area shall be submitted for approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works. Internal Driveways The development shall have an internal driveway that complies with the width requirements as set out in AS/NZS 2890.1-2004. Service Bay One of the carparking spaces towards the frontage of the development shall be used as a shared service bay for small delivery/maintenance vehicles. This space shall be clearly line-marked and sign posted for use by Service Vehicles between the hours of 6am to 6pm. Outside of the specified hours the space could be used as a standard visitor space. Carparking Carparking shall be provided within the site as generally shown on drawing number 2937/DA/10 dated 28 October 2011 by Blackburne Jackson Design, except as modified herein. A minimum of 41 carpark spaces shall be provided on site, comprising: 84.1 39 covered carpark spaces (within the basement), consisting of 20 resident spaces and 19 visitor spaces (including 1 disabled space), 84.2 Two (2) uncovered carpark spaces (towards the frontage of the development). All carparking areas shall be designed to comply with the provisions of AS/NZS 2890.1-2004 and AS/NZS 2890.6:2009 with a minimum head clearance (headroom) at any point of 2.2m on the vehicle paths and 2.5m within disabled spaces and adjacent shared areas. All carpark spaces shall be clearly defined by line marking each space and by providing appropriate signage defining the space usage purpose as indicated on plan number 2937/DA/10 dated 28 October 2011 by Blackburne Jackson Design. To this extent: 86.1 One (1) of the single carpark spaces within the basement must be line-marked and signed specifically as a disabled carparking space. 86.2 The tandem carpark spaces within the basement must be line-marked and signed so that visitors can only park behind the car parking space assigned to the resident that they are visiting. 86.3 One (1) of the uncovered carpark spaces (towards the frontage of the development) must be line-marked and signed specifically as a disabled carparking space. 86.4 One (1) of the uncovered carpark spaces (towards the frontage of the development) must be line-marked and signed specifically for “Service Vehicles” between the hours of 6am to 6pm. 86.5 The uncovered carpark spaces (towards the frontage of the development) must be line-marked and signed specifically for “Visitor Parking Only”. 86.6 All carparking spaces as defined shall remain as parking spaces and are not to be converted to storage or enclosed. The requirements of this condition are to be included in the Community Management Statement for the development. Access to the visitor car parking in the basement shall be controlled via an intercom system, which ensures that these spaces are available to visitors. A small sign shall be installed within the site (in a clearly visible location for all vehicles to see near the entry gates) to advise visitors that visitor car parking spaces are provided within the basement carpark and to use the intercom system to contact the manager or the unit they are visiting to enable entry to the basement and to these spaces. Vegetation Protection All trees to be retained shall be clearly defined on all drawings and clearly marked on site to prevent any damage occurring to these trees. Any works required within the drip zone of any trees to be retained shall be carried out by hand, not by machinery. The internal driveway (or any other form of hard pavement for that matter) within the drip zone of any trees on site to be retained shall be designed to allow the flow of water through the pavement or be designed to direct stormwater runoff to the trees root system. To this extent the uncovered visitor spaces towards the frontage of the development may be able to incorporate Grass Rings or a similar device that allows water penetration. All pavements shall be constructed so as not to damage the root system of any trees to be retained and in this regard temporary fencing shall be provided around the trees during construction to help protect them. Plans shall be submitted to the Council for approval that clearly show the type and extent of pavements proposed, how they comply with the above conditions and also illustrating any temporary fencing to protect the trees prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works. Frontage Works Footpath improvements such as topsoiling, grassing, and tree planting are required to the Serenity Close frontage of the site (if not already provided) in accordance with Planning Scheme Policy PSP1 Landscaping Guidelines. Grass shall be couch, free of weeds. A new 1.5 metre wide concrete path shall be constructed along the Serenity Close frontage of the site (if not already provided) in accordance with Council’s design standards and to an alignment that protects any significant vegetation or any underground services. All paths shall be designed and constructed to ensure pedestrian safety using non-slip materials and to produce an evenly graded surface finish. Stormwater Drainage A stormwater management plan shall be prepared by a RPEQ, specialising in stormwater and water quality management incorporating the principles of the Environmental Management Plan for the Settlers Cove Development 23118 DA, that demonstrates water reuse strategies, infrastructure capacity and effective treatment methodology. The use of rainwater harvesting tanks for irrigation purposes shall be incorporated in the overall design plans. These plans shall be submitted to Council for approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works. All stormwater drainage shall be collected on site and discharged so there is no net increase in stormwater runoff from the site.
