Town Planning Report - GSLC MCU Maintenance Sheds and Fence · MCU25/0099

“Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”



          •   PO21, PO22 & PO24 – The proposed sheds will be constructed of corrugated roof cladding and
              monocled wall cladding, which is reasonably expected. Trees are to be planted beside the Shed A to
              offset the removal of the large gum trees (discussed above) and improve the visual outlook from the
              residents in Seacove Court. The proposed sheds have been designed to be fit for purpose and are
              necessary and associated outbuildings for an educational establishment.

          •   PO27 & PO28 – As already discussed, landscaping is proposed along the southeastern boundary and
              within the 3m wide gap between buildings to maintain an appropriate level of amenity for the adjoining
              residential properties. The amount of landscaping within the 2m building setback will be provided to
              suit the relative size and nature of the development (PO28(c)).

          •   PO29 – A 1.8m high solid timber fence is provided along the southeastern boundary of the site with
              3m of landscaping between proposed Sheds B & C (AO29). It is not expected that the use of the
              maintenance sheds will increase the level of noise already generated by the existing maintenance
              activities in this location, with doors facing away from the residential properties. The development is of
              a scale that is compatible with buildings in the adjoining residential zones. The proposed fencing to the
              north will be 2.4m in height to generally match the height of the existing fence with some additions
              having been provided over time, along with some hedging (refer Attachment 4). It is noted that under
              AO29, the provision states a minimum fence height of 1.8m is required with no maximum fence height
              being prescribed.

          •   PO30 – The design of proposed Sheds B & C minimises the impact on the adjoining residential
              properties. The design of the built form has the lowest elevation closest to the properties being 2.7m
              and the roof pitching away having a height of 3.9m about 8.5m from the boundary. Further, the hours
              of operation for the maintenance sheds will be the same as the current hours of operation for the GSLC.

          •   PO34 – Any security lighting to be provided will meet current standards, be hooded and directed away
              from the adjoining residential properties, as is currently the case for the existing buildings and structures
              at GSLC.

          •   PO48 – Minimal earthworks are required for the construction of the proposed sheds.

          •   PO50 – No added demand is placed on community infrastructure for the operation of the proposed
              maintenance sheds.

          The proposed development complies with the performance outcomes, overall outcomes and the purpose
          of the Community Facilities Zone Code.

          7.4 Community Facilities Code

          With respect to the Community Facilities Code no new issues are raised that have not already been
          addressed under the Community Facilities Zone Code. This is in terms of the location for a community use,
          the effects of the use with respect to the type, scale and intensity (PO3 & PO4), building design and sitting
          (PO5 & PO6), landscaping (PO7) and amenity and safety (PO8) and lighting (PO16).

          The proposed development is consistent with the relevant performance outcomes, overall outcomes and
          purpose of the Community Facilities Code.
