PROJECT URBAN – 16216                                                                    February 2017

With regard to the proposed earthwork, full details of the works including an Erosion & Sediment
Control plan, will be prepared and submitted for Council approval at the operational works stage.
The works will be designed to comply with the Council’s code requirements and current best
practice.

Finally, it should be noted that the proposed building design includes an waste collection area
which has been sized to provide sufficient space for general waste and recycling bins. Waste will
be collected from the Council land to the rear of the site as agreed with Council Officers.

Overall, it is considered that the proposal complies with the key requirements of the Engineering
Works Code.

7.5.4      LANDSCAPE CODE


The proposal has also been assessed against the Landscape Code and the key conclusions from
this assessment are set out below:

              the proposed layout provides more than 15% of the site area as landscaping and
              communal open space in accordance with the requirement for the Community
              Services Zone;

              a minimum 2m wide landscape strip is provided along the front of the site, in
              accordance with the requirement for the Community Services Zone;

              the proposed landscaping has been designed, and will be planted and maintained, in
              accordance with Council’s Planning Scheme Policy 3;

              the basement does not extend beyond the footprint of the building and allows for
              landscaping within the building setback areas;

              adequate areas of private open space are provided for each dwelling unit; and

              the layout incorporates an area of communal open space for residents to use.

For these reasons, the proposed landscaping is considered to comply with the relevant
requirements of the Landscaping Code.



7.6 PLANNING SCHEME CONFLICTS


Whilst the proposed design satisfies the key design requirements for development on the site, it
is recognised that the proposed type of Multiple Housing is not a consistent use within the Zone
and therefore conflicts with Specific Outcomes O75 to O82 inclusive. Despite the apparent
inconsistency, it is considered that the following arguments provide sufficient planning grounds
to overcome the conflict with the Planning Scheme in accordance with section 326(1)(b) of the
Sustainable Planning Act 2009. These grounds were accepted by Council during its assessment of
the current material change of use approval of Multiple Dwelling Type 4 Conventional.
