A stormwater management report and design must be submitted and approved as a Condition Endorsement, prior to the issue of any approval under the Building Act 2016 or the commencement of work on the site (whichever occurs first). The stormwater management report and design must be prepared by a suitably qualified engineer and must:

3.    include detailed design and supporting calculations of the detention tank showing:

1.    detention tank sizing such that there is no increase in flows from the developed site up to 5% AEP event and no worsening of flooding;

2.    the layout, the inlet and outlet (including long section), outlet size, overflow mechanism and invert level; 

3.    the discharge rates and emptying times; and

4.    all assumptions must be clearly stated;

4.    include a supporting maintenance plan, which specifies the required 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:

This condition requires further information to be submitted as a Condition Endorsement. Refer to the Condition Endorsement advice at the end of this permit.

ENG 3a

The access driveway and parking area must be constructed in accordance with the following documentation which forms part of this permit:  Aldanmark consulting engineers drawings 21E65-16 sheet C102 Rev B dated 3/6/2022, 21E65-16 sheet C103 Rev B dated 3/6/2022, 21E65-16 sheet C104 Rev B dated 3/6/2022, 21E65-16 sheet C301 Rev B dated 3/6/2022, 21E65-16 sheet C302 Rev B dated 3/6/2022,  21E65-16 sheet C303 Rev B dated 3/6/2022, 21E65-16 sheet C304 Rev B dated 3/6/2022, 21E65-16 sheet C401 Rev B dated 3/6/2022 received by the Council on 10/06/2022.

Any departure from that documentation and any works which are not detailed in the documentation must be either:

(a) approved by the Director City Life, via a condition endorsement application; or
(b) designed and constructed in accordance with Australian Standard AS/NZ 2890.1:2004. 

The works required by this condition must be completed prior to first occupation.

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of users of the access and parking module, and compliance with the relevant Australian Standard.

ENG 3c

Prior to the first occupation, a suitably qualified engineer must certify that the access driveway and parking area has been constructed in accordance with design drawings approved by Condition ENG 3a. 

Advice:

We strongly encourage you to speak to your engineer before works begin so that you can discuss the number and nature of the inspections they will need to do during the works in order to provide this certification.  It may be necessary for a surveyor to also be engaged to ensure that the driveway will be constructed as approved.

The reason this condition has been imposed as part of your planning permit is that the driveway is outside the Australian Standard gradients or design parameters.  If the driveway is not constructed as it has been approved then this may mean that the driveway will either be unsafe or will not function properly.
 
An example certificate is available on our website.  

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of users of the access and parking module, and compliance with the relevant Australian Standard.

ENG 4

The access driveway and parking module (car parking spaces, aisles and manoeuvring area) approved by this permit must be constructed to a sealed standard (spray seal, asphalt, concrete, pavers or equivalent Council approved) and surface drained to the Council's stormwater infrastructure prior to the first occupation.

Reason for condition

To ensure the safety of users of the access driveway and parking module, and that it does not detract from the amenity of users, adjoining occupiers or the environment by preventing dust, mud and sediment transport.

ENG 5

The number of car parking spaces approved to be used on the site is four (4).
 
Reason for condition 

To ensure the provision of parking for the use is safe and efficient. 

ENG 1

Any damage to council infrastructure resulting from the implementation of this permit, must, at the discretion of the Council:

3.    Be met by the owner by way of reimbursement (cost of repair and reinstatement to be paid by the owner to the Council); or

4.    Be repaired and reinstated by the owner to the satisfaction of the Council.

 
A photographic record of the Council's 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's 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's infrastructure and/or site-related service connections affected by the proposal will be altered and/or reinstated at the owner’s full cost.

ENV 8

All recommended risk mitigation measures in the landslide risk management report by Doyle Soil Consulting dated June 2022 must be implemented prior to the commencement of use and must be maintained for the life of the use/development.

Reason for condition

To reduce the risk to life and property, and the cost to the community, caused by landslides.

ENV 1

Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to prevent sediment from leaving the site must be installed prior to any disturbance of the site, and maintained until all areas of disturbance have been stabilized or re-vegetated.
