PLN s1

 

 

Prior to the commencement of work, revised plans are to be submitted and approved showing:

 

 

·    The alteration of the Zincalume flashing to a non­reflective, subdued finish; and

 

·    The size of the parking deck for the existing dwelling being reduced in length by 2m so that the gap between the existing dwelling and the car parking deck is increased to 6m.

 

 

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved revised plans.

 

 

Advice:

 

Once the revised plans have been approved, the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).

 

 

Reason for condition

 

 

To ensure compliance with Clauses 12.4.2 P3, 12.4.6 P1, and 12.4.10 P1, of the

Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015.

 

 

ENG 2

 

 

Vehicle safety barriers where required by Australian Standard AS/NZS2890.1:2004, compliant with AS/NZS1170.1:2002 must be installed prior to the commencement of use.

 

 

If barriers are not required by AS/NZS2890.1:2004; a report, prepared by a suitably qualified person, demonstrating that barriers are not required must be submitted and approved by Council prior to the issuing of any Certificate of Likely Compliance under the Building Act 2016.

 

 

If vehicle safety barriers are required, a certified vehicle crash barrier design (including site plan with proposed location(s) of installation), prepared by a suitably qualified Engineer, to satisfy the above requirements, must be submitted and approved by Council prior to the issuing of any Certificate of Likely Compliance under the Building Act 2016. All works, required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with certified design.

 

 

Prior to the issuing of any Occupancy or Completion Certificate under the Building Act 2016, barriers must be inspected by a qualified engineer and a certification submitted to Council, confirming that the installed barriers comply with the above requirement.

 

 

Advice:

 

If vehicle safety barriers are not required due to a drop of less than 600mm, the designers should make this clear on the drawings to help avoid unnecessary delays in building approval. If wheelstops (i.e kerb 90 to 110mm high) are not required due to a drop of less than 150mm, the designers should make this clear on the drawings to help avoid unnecessary delays in building approval.

Designers are advised to consult the National Construction Code 2016 to determine if pedestrian handrails or safety barriers compliant with the NCC2016 are also required: http://www.abcb.gov.au/Resources/NCC.

 

Council do not consider a slope greater than 1 in 4 to constitute a lower level as described in AS/NZS 2890.1:2004 Section 2.4.5.3. Once the design drawing has been approved Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement). It is advised that documentation for condition endorsement is lodged well before a Building Permit is required, as failure to address design requirements until Building Application stage may result in unexpected delays.

ENG sw3

 

The proposed works (including footings and overhangs) must be designed to ensure the long term protection of and access to the Council’s stormwater infrastructure.

 

Some sections of the Council's stormwater infrastructure near the works may be able to be abandoned as public infrastructure.  A formal request to abandon these mains must be submitted and approved prior to the issue of any consent under the Building Act or commencement of works (whichever occurs first).

 

This request must include:

 

1.         Detailed plan clearly showing assets to be abandoned;

 

2.         Details of investigations sufficient to demonstrate the asset is no longer required, including CCTV footage and report.

 

In the event that either the assets can not be abandoned or additional public stormwater assets are identified in close proximity, the following applies:

 

Detailed engineering design for any infrastructure which will remain public and be within two metres of the works (including alteration of levels, abutments and footings or proposal to divert the public infrastructure) must be submitted and approved prior to issue of any consent under the Building Act or commencement of works (whichever occurs first).

 

The detailed design must:

 

1.         Demonstrate how the design will maintain the overland flow path, provide adequate access to the main, impose no additional loads onto the main and that the structure will be fully independent of the main and its trenching.

 

2.         Include cross-sections clearly showing the relationship both vertically and horizontally between Council’s stormwater infrastructure and the proposed works (including footings), and stating the minimum setbacks from the works to the nearest external surface of the main.

 

3.         Should any diversion of existing public infrastructure be required, engineering details of any proposed alterations and new infrastructure are to be provided.  Noting that any new infrastructure will need to adhere to Condition ENG sw5.

4.         Be certified by a suitably qualified engineer

 

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved design.

 

Advice: Once the detailed design drawings have been approved the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure the protection of the Council’s hydraulic infrastructure.

 

ENG sw5

 

The new stormwater system, including new connections and any diversion or alteration of existing infrastructure, must be constructed prior to commencement of use.

 

Engineering design drawings must be submitted and approved, prior to commencement of work. The engineering drawings must:

 

1.         Be certified by a qualified and experienced Engineer.

 

2.         Show in both plan and long-section the proposed stormwater infrastructure, including but not limited to, connections, flows, velocities, hydraulic grade lines, clearances, cover, gradients, sizing, material, pipe class, adequate working platforms around manholes, easements and inspection openings.

 

3.         Include the associated calculations and catchment area plans.  The stormwater system (including defined overland flow paths) must cater for all 1% AEP flows as at 2100 (i.e including climate change loading) from a fully developed catchment.  The piped system must be sized to accommodate at least the 5% AEP flows from a fully-developed catchment.

 

4.         Clearly distinguish between the internal and external stormwater infrastructure of the bridge (i.e where the internal bridge drainage finishes, including abutments/pedestrian access points), noting internal drainage as private and noting new stormwater outside of this to be considered an extension to the public system.

 

5.         Be substantially in accordance with the LGAT drawings

 

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved engineering drawings.

 

Advice: Once the engineering drawings have been approved the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).

 

Please note that once the condition endorsement has been issued you will need to contact Council’s City Infrastructure Division to obtain a Permit to Construct Public Infrastructure.

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure Council’s hydraulic infrastructure meets acceptable standards.

 

ENG sw6

 

All stormwater from the proposed development must be discharged to public infrastructure with sufficient receiving capacity prior to commencement of use. All costs associated with works required by this condition are to be met by the owner.

 

Design drawings and calculations of the proposed stormwater drainage and connections must be submitted and approved prior to the commencement of work. The design drawings and calculations (including for the connections) must:

 

1.         Be prepared by a suitably qualified person;

 

2.         Include long sections to the point of discharge;

 

3.         Demonstrate via detailed engineering drawings that the runoff from the bridge, including wings, will be safely conveyed to public infrastructure without causing a nuisance to road users or adverse impact to public land; and

 

4.         Be designed for 20yr ARI event, and provide safe overland flow paths for a 100yr event.  

 

All work required by this condition must be undertaken in accordance with the approved design drawings and calculations.

 

Advice: Once the design drawings and calculations have been approved Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).  

 

Council notes the requirements of the Roads and Jetties Act for discharge of stormwater onto a State Highway.  

 

Reason for condition

 

To ensure that stormwater from the site will be discharged to a suitable Council approved outlet.

 

ENG sw7

 

Stormwater pre-treatment and detention for stormwater discharges from the development must be installed prior to the commencement of use.

 

stormwater management report and design must be submitted and approved prior to commencement of work. The stormwater management report and design must:

 

1.         Be prepared by a suitably qualified engineer;

 

2.         Include detailed design of the treatment train, including final estimations of contaminant removal.  Treatment must be current best practice and aim to achieve the State Stormwater Strategy removal targets. 

 

3.         Include detailed design and supporting calculations of any detention required, sized such that there is no increase in flows from the developed site up to 5% AEP storm events above the receiving capacity of public infrastructure.  All assumptions must be clearly stated.

 

4.         Include a Stormwater Management Summary Plan that outlines the obligations relating to stormwater management, including a maintenance plan which details the operational and maintenance measures to check and ensure the ongoing effective operation of all systems, such as: inspection frequency; cleanout procedures; descriptions and diagrams of how the installed systems operate; details of the life of assets and replacement requirements.

 

All work required by this condition must be undertaken and maintained in accordance with the approved stormwater management report and design.

 

Advice: Once the stormwater management report and design has been approved the Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement).

(i)      The City of Hobart as highway authority only consider requests for the installation of additional fixed or permanent umbrellas on the southern footpath if the installation of those umbrellas would not conflict with the future provision of:

(a)     A 3 metre clear pedestrian path (that may only be covered by temporary umbrellas) adjacent to the building line;

(b)     A 1.5 metre wide clear pedestrian path (that may only be covered by temporary umbrellas) between outdoor dining furniture and parked cars; and

(c)     A 1.2 metre wide clear pedestrian path between outdoor dining areas.

(ii)     The City of Hobart as highway authority only consider requests for the installation of tables, chairs and barriers to facilitate outdoor dining that can be removed from the public footpath when not in use.

(iii)    Subject to the recommendations above, in relation to request for new or adjusted occupation licences for outdoor dining on the Salamanca Place southern footpath between Kennedy Lane and Wooby’s Lane, the City of Hobart as highway authority permit the installation of removable tables, chairs and barriers to facilitate outdoor dining on the equivalent alignment to those currently in front of the businesses Maldini, Jack Greene, Cargo and Grape.

(iv)    The General Manager advise any applicant considering the purchase and installation of furniture to place on the Salamanca Place footpath of the above recommendations, and further advise that until such time that the Council considers and resolves its future direction for the management of that footpath, that any furniture purchased and installed that is not compatible with the future direction may need to be removed at the applicant’s cost.
