Extension of Time: Not applicable

 

Pursuant to the Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015, the Council approve the application for a Dwelling and Associated Hydraulic Infrastructure at 86 Rialannah Road and 72 Rialannah Road, Mount Nelson, for the reasons outlined in the officer’s report, attached to supplementary item 7.1.6 of the Open City Planning Committee agenda of 28 August 2017, and a permit containing the following conditions be issued:

 

 

GEN

 

 

The use and/or development must be substantially in accordance with the documents and drawings that comprise PLN­17­191 ­ 86 RIALANNAH ROAD AND 72 RIALANNAH ROAD MOUNT NELSON TAS 7007 ­ Final Planning Documents except where modified below.

 

 

Reason for condition

 

 

To clarify the scope of the permit.

 

 

ENG sw4

 

 

The development (including hardstand) must be drained to Council infrastructure. The new stormwater connection must be constructed by Council at the owner’s expense prior to the first occupation.

 

 

Detailed engineering drawings of the new stormwater connection must be submitted and approved, prior to commencement of work. The detailed engineering drawings must be certified by a qualified and experienced civil engineer and include:

 

 

1.       The location and route of the proposed connection, clearly showing all potential clashes such as other services and trees;

2.       The size and design of the connection such that it is appropriate to safely service the development and complements the future drainage network;

3.       Long­sections of the proposed connection clearly showing clearances from any nearby services, cover, grade, size, material, inspection openings, and delineation of public and private infrastructure; and

4.       A construction program, including reinstatement.

 

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

 

Advice:

 

Once the detailed 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 initiate an application for service connection.

 

 

Where building approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation for condition endorsement be submitted well before submitting documentation for building approval. Failure to address condition endorsement requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.

 

 

Reason for condition

 

 

To ensure the site is drained adequately.

 

 

ENG 1

 

 

The cost of repair of any damage to the Council infrastructure resulting from the implementation of this permit, must be met by the owners within 30 days of the completion of the development or as otherwise determined by the Council. Any damage must be reported immediately to Council.

 

 

A photographic record of the Council infrastructure adjacent to the subject site must be provided to the Council prior to any commencement of works.

 

 

A photographic record of the Council’s infrastructure (e.g. existing property service connection points, roads, buildings, stormwater, footpaths, driveway crossovers and nature strips, including if any, pre existing damage) will be relied upon to establish the extent of damage caused to the Council’s infrastructure during construction. In the event that the owner/developer fails to provide to the Council a photographic record of the Council’s infrastructure, then any damage to the Council infrastructure found on completion of works will be deemed to be the responsibility of the owner.

 

 

Reason for condition

 

 

To ensure that any of the Council infrastructure and/or site­related service connections affected by the proposal will be altered and/or reinstated at the owner’s full cost.

 

ENGR 3

 

 

Prior to the commencement of use, a proposed driveway crossover in the Rialannah Road highway reservation must be designed and constructed in general accordance with the Tasmanian Standard Drawings: Rural TSD­R04­ v1 – Rural Roads Typical Driveway Profile and TSD R03­v1 Rural Roads

Typical Property Access.

 

 

Design drawings must be submitted and approved prior to the commencement of work. The design drawings must:

 

 

1.       Show the cross and long section of the driveway crossover within the highway reservation and onto the property;

2.       Detail any services or infrastructure (i.e. light poles, pits, awnings) at or near the proposed driveway crossover;

3.       Show B85 swept path templates in accordance with AS/NZS 2890.1

2004;

4.       If the design deviates from the requirements of the Tasmanian Standard Drawings then the design drawings must demonstrate that a B85 vehicle (AS/NZS 2890.1 2004, section 2.6.2) can access the driveway from the road into the property without scraping the B85 vehicle's underside;

5.       Show that vehicular and pedestrian sight lines are met as per AS/NZS 2890.1 2004; and

6.       Be prepared and certified by a suitable qualified person, to satisfy the above requirement.

 

 

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

 

 

 

Advice:

 

Once the approved design drawings have been approved Council will issue a condition endorsement (see general advice on how to obtain condition endorsement). Due to no table drain existing at the site of the crossover, a head wall and culvert is not required.

 

 

Where building approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation for condition endorsement be submitted well before submitting documentation for building approval. Failure to address condition endorsement requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.

 

Reason for condition

 

 

To ensure that works will comply with the Council’s standard requirements.

 

 

ENV 10

 

 

No trees are to be removed unless their removal is necessary to facilitate construction of the dwelling and driveway, servicing of the dwelling or to meet the requirements of the bushfire hazard management plan.

 

 

Reason for condition

 

 

To ensure the use/development does not result in unnecessary or unacceptable loss of priority biodiversity values.

 

 

ENV 14

 

 

Plant species listed in the Council’s Restricted Plant List: Potentially Invasive Species Generally Unsuitable for Planting in or Adjacent Bushland, Riparian and Coastal Areas (July 2014) must not be planted on the lot.

ENV 15

 

 

All construction vehicles and machinery must be effectively cleaned of soil both before entering the property.

 

 

Soil cleaned from construction vehicles and machinery must not be allowed, either directly or indirectly, to enter waterways or the Council’s stomwater system.

 

 

Note: further information on effective measures for washdown can be found here.

 

 

Reason for condition

 

 

To minimise the spread of weeds and pathogens.

 

 

ENV 2

 

Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to prevent sediment from leaving the site must be installed prior to the commencement of work and maintained until such time as all disturbed areas have been stabilised and/or restored or sealed to the Council’s satisfaction.

 

 

A soil and water management plan (SWMP) must be submitted and approved, prior to the commencement of work. The SWMP must be prepared in accordance with:

 

 

1.       The Soil and Water Management on Building and Construction Sites fact sheets (Derwent Estuary Program, 2008), available here; and

2.       Requirements of any Landlord consent.

 

 

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

 

 

Advice:

 

 

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

 

 

Where building approval is also required, it is recommended that documentation for condition endorsement be submitted well before submitting documentation for building approval. Failure to address condition endorsement requirements prior to submitting for building approval may result in unexpected delays.

 

 

Reason for Condition

 

 

To avoid the pollution and sedimentation of roads, drains and natural watercourses that could be caused by erosion and runoff from the development.
