MCU10/2083 Development Application part 2 - Attachment 1 - Town Planning Report & Code Assessment_FINAL_291010

A Statement of Landscape Intent is included in Attachment 2 together with landscape sections for the
landscape buffer, and bio-retention swale and frontage landscape area.

Further details of landscaping will be provided as part of a subsequent operational works application.


ENGINEERING WORKS CODES

DRIVEWAYS AND CARPARKING CODE
A summary of the proposed development’s compliance with the purpose of the Driveways and
Carparking Code is included below.

The purpose of this code is to ensure:

    a) Safe and reasonable access to and from vehicle accommodation and standing areas within a
       property and from the public road is provided;
    b) The safety of pedestrians and cyclists is protected;
    c) Development reduces the reliance on private vehicles and promotes public and non-motorised
       transport options;
    d) Carparking spaces and the associated manoeuvring areas provided are designed to be safe
       and functional and meet the reasonable requirements of the particular land use;
    e) Adequate provision is made for the standing, parking, loading and unloading, access and
       manoeuvring of service vehicles within the development site;
    f) Development does not adversely impact on existing public parking;
    g) Adequate monetary contributions are made in circumstances where Council considers the
       provision of external parking will fulfill the parking demand generated by the development
       and will not have an adverse impact on existing public parking; and
    h) Vehicular access does not impact adversely upon existing landscaping or native vegetation.

Comment: The proposal will achieve compliance with the Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions
of the Driveways and Carparking Code – refer Traffic and Transport Assessment Report prepared by
Halcrow included in Attachment 5. The report concludes that the proposed development will not
create any adverse impact on the surrounding road network; and that the internal carparking, access,
waste collection and service vehicle arrangement are suitable from a Traffic Engineering perspective.


EARTHWORKS CODE
A summary of the proposed development’s compliance with the purpose of the Eathworks Code is
included below.

The purpose of this code is to ensure:

    a) To ensure that earthworks do not unreasonably impact on the natural environment or other
       properties with regard to—
          i. land stability (including differential settlement or expansion in reactive soils);
         ii. contamination of land;
        iii. flooding and drainage;
        iv. groundwater, watercourses and wetlands;
         v. loss of native remnant or regrowth vegetation; and
    b) Earthworks are designed and constructed to be structurally sound.

Comment: The proposal will comply with all applicable Specific Outcomes/Probable Solutions of the
Earthworks Code – refer Civil Infrastructure Report prepared by JF&P Engineering included in
