          7.5 Driveway and Parking Code

          While there is technically an increase in GFA for the proposed sheds, there will be no increase in the number
          of students or teachers as a result of the new sheds. The matter of parking and access has been recently
          considered under the preliminary approval (MCU23/0096) for the Master Plan. The GSLC will be providing
          for improved parking and onsite traffic management for peak drop and pick up times in accordance with
          the Master Plan. Consequently, the Driveway and Parking Code does not need to be considered further.

          7.6    Water Quality and Drainage Code

          With respect to stormwater management and water quality, the roof water from the sheds will be
          discharged to the existing dam/bio-basin located between the proposed sheds near the eastern boundary.
          It is not expected that there is a need to provide any further onsite treatment for the roof water leaving the
          sheds, with the water to be contained onsite and used for irrigation on the school grounds. The proposed
          development either complies with the Water Quality and Drainage Code or can be conditioned to comply.

          7.7    Landscaping Code

          As discussed, landscaping is to be provided along the eastern boundary and in between Sheds B & C.
          Additional landscaping will be provided in places along the new acoustic fencing towards the north. The
          landscaping being proposed will be consistent with the Landscaping Code, which can be conditioned.

          8 Overlay Codes

          The only applicable overlay is the Acid Sulfates Soil Overlay Code (refer Figure 6). While the proposed
          maintenance sheds are located close to the area of the site that is 5m AHD or below, this does not mean
          the site contains acid sulfate soils. In any event, minimal earthworks are required to construct the proposed
          maintenance sheds. In the circumstances, the risk of releasing acid sulfate soils into the environment is
          considered very low. In the circumstances there is no need for the preparation of an Acid Sulfate Soils
          Management Plan, given the limited extent of earthworks required, being slab on ground construction.
