        Issue
        Compliance with higher-order conditions of approval
        Information Request
        7. Provide the following information required by higher-order conditions:
        a. Provide an updated maintenance manual required by condition 58 which addresses
        the rainwater tanks and reticulation system and the basement pump out, not just the
        bioretention basins.
        b. Provide updated landscape plans which include details of the educational signage
        required by Condition 59.
        c. Provide updated engineering plans which show the location and size of the rainwater
        tanks required by condition 62(c). Include details of how sizing has been determined
        based on the reuse demand of the area to be irrigated.

Response:
The maintenance manual has been updated to include the maintenance requirements of the rainwater
tanks. No basement pump out is required for the stormwater treatment system as per the revised
stormwater design. All stormwater gravity drains to the external stormwater drainage system as
required by the conditions of the higher order approval.
The basement pump out system for any water that drops off cars will be as per the hydraulic designs
(appended to this response) with the maintenance requirements as per the maintenance manuals
provided by the pump supplier. These manuals will be provided to the building owner and facilities
manager following construction installation.

The educational signage has now been provided on the revised Landscape plans by Place.

The location and size of the rainwater tank has been provided on the amended Civil plans by MPN. The
tank has been sized at 5kL as noted within the development application documents. No irrigation system
will be provided on site as the landscape design has provided for drought tolerant low maintenance
species. The rainwater tank will be used for basement and pavement washdown purposes.

        Issue
        A change to the associated higher order approval (MCU22/0038) is currently being assessed

        Information Required
        8. Provide additional comment to demonstrate that the proposed works will be in
        accordance with the changed higher order approval.

Response:
The currently documented operational works package including the extents of earthworks/ basement
excavation and civil works are generally in accordance with both the higher order approval (MCU22/0038)
and the Request for Minor Modification to this higher order approval that is currently before Council .
