Overlay Code

The subject land is affected by the Natural Hazards Overlay, being mostly designated a Low Potential Acid
Sulfate Area 5-20m AHD; however, the south-western portion of the subject land has a High Potential Acid
Sulfate designation.

While the development is located in an area that is potentially affected by acid sulfate soils, the development
involves relatively minor earthworks below 5m AHD, this being required for the construction of footings. It is
expected that a condition will be imposed requiring the preparation of an Acid Sulfate Soils Management
Plan to be submitted with a further development application for operational work.

Landscaping Code

It is intended to provide landscaping within the building setback areas surrounding the building where
adjoining the residential properties to the northwest, the Telstra Depot to the northeast and along the setback
area to the parkland towards the southwest. It is noted that suitable vegetation is to be provided within the
bio-retention basin adjoining the parkland. Additional landscaping is also proposed either side of the pathway
traversing the site other than where pedestrian and vehicular access is required.

Driveway and Carparks Code

The most relevant code under the Engineering Works Codes is the Driveway and Carparks Code. Under this
code the most relevant specific outcomes include the following:

O1 Vehicular access does not adversely impact on safety, capacity and operations of the existing or planned
road network, the proposed driveway, cycleways or pedestrian pathway systems.

The existing two (2) access points to Goodchap Street are to be retained and utilised for the proposed new
development. Further, the existing internal access on this part of the subject land will remain unchanged. The
proposed new building will not cause any conflict with pedestrians using the pathway traversing the site.

O7 Sufficient carparking is provided to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to be generated by
the development having regard to the specifics of the use including –
a) the type and intensity of land use;
b) any existing parking available on the site;
c) hours of operation;
d) likely numbers of users;
e) the peak parking demand periods of uses on the site; and
f) the availability of alternative carparking.

The proposed development provides sufficient parking for the existing development in accordance with the
current approval (Attachment 1) and for the proposed new floor space. The approval requires 369 carparking
spaces to be provided as follows:
    • 291 spaces existing, including the 40 spaces shared with the Child Care Centres;
    • 72 spaces to be provided with the at ground carpark on the land to the northwest;
    • 3 spaces on the one-way street; and
    • the equivalent of 3 spaces in the form of 12 motorbike spaces.
