Item 19
DA1270/04
6 April 2005
Highway as requested by Council’s Landscape Development Officer, pipes laid
outside deep soil zone, water balance <strong>to</strong> demonstrate attenuation <strong>of</strong> discharge, or
the provision <strong>of</strong> an on site detention component.
Background
A pre-DA <strong>meeting</strong> was <strong>held</strong> for this site at which the applicant was presented with
assessment criteria related <strong>to</strong> the engineering aspects. The following is an extract from
the report
“Private interallotment drainage easement(s) must <strong>be</strong> demonstrated for the entire
consolidated site in accordance with chapter 5.7 <strong>of</strong> Water Management Development
Control Plan 47.
In addition <strong>to</strong> the requirements <strong>of</strong> chapter 6 <strong>of</strong> Development Control Plan 47, an
absolute minimum on-site detention volume <strong>of</strong> 60% <strong>of</strong> the SSR calculated at appendix 3
<strong>of</strong> the DCP must <strong>be</strong> provided. The subject development must consider loading on any
easement/drainage system <strong>to</strong> which connection is proposed and on-site
detention/discharge control must <strong>be</strong> demonstrated <strong>to</strong> suit this capacity.”
The following documentation was considered:
- Dincel & Associates Concept S<strong>to</strong>rmwater Drainage and On-Site Retention Details
(1 sheet);
- Dincel & Associates Indicative Construction Management Plan, 23 Decem<strong>be</strong>r
2004;
- Scott Carver Statement <strong>of</strong> Environmental Effects, Novem<strong>be</strong>r 2004;
- H. Ramsay & Co. Survey Plan;

- Geotechnique Report on Geotechnical Investigation 10600/1-AA, 17 Novem<strong>be</strong>r
2004;
- Traffic Solutions 04.05.091, 25-Nov-04.
The application is for a residential flat building comprising 42 units (4 x 1 <strong>be</strong>droom, 22
x 2 <strong>be</strong>droom and 16 x 3 <strong>be</strong>droom). Because <strong>of</strong> the slope <strong>of</strong> the site, carparking is
proposed on five levels, with a combined entry and exit approximately half way along
the site frontage.
Existing drainage easement
There appears <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> an interallotment drainage easement along the rear site boundary,
which probably <strong>be</strong>nefits the property at 1458 Pacific Highway, despite Section 2.2.1 <strong>of</strong>
the Statement <strong>of</strong> Environmental Effects, which states: “We are unaware <strong>of</strong> any
encumbrances affecting the subject site”. It is noted on the survey plan “No covenants
and/or restrictions have <strong>be</strong>en investigated…“.
