Council’s Engineering Assessment Team Leader, Robin Howard, has commented on the proposal
as follows:
Summary
‘In summary the engineering aspects <strong>of</strong> the application are considered satisfac<strong>to</strong>ry by
Development Engineers, subject <strong>to</strong> the imposition <strong>of</strong> the engineering conditions <strong>of</strong> consent
shown (including the schedule A – deferred commencement conditions).
A pre-DA <strong>meeting</strong> was <strong>held</strong> for this site in which the applicant was presented with assessment
criteria and issues related <strong>to</strong> the engineering aspects. Generally the Applicant has had regard
<strong>to</strong> the engineering issues raised at this pre-DA <strong>meeting</strong> (after subsequent requests for
additional information) and has submitted the requested engineering information.
Subdivision, energy requirements
The DA Application form indicates that strata subdivision IS NOT proposed under this DA;
hence strata subdivision conditions will NOT <strong>be</strong> applied in this referral response. So that the
building is not constructed across lot boundaries, the Applicant will <strong>be</strong> required <strong>to</strong>
consolidate all the Torrens lots prior <strong>to</strong> issue <strong>of</strong> the Construction Certificate.
Please also have regard <strong>to</strong> the comments from Energy Australia contained in TRIM document
457717. Development Engineers have placed a condition <strong>of</strong> consent in this referral response
that the Applicant liaise with Energy Australia regarding their power supply requirements,
and comply with such prior <strong>to</strong> occupation and issue <strong>of</strong> the Occupation Certificate.
Site drainage comments
I refer <strong>to</strong> the Concept S<strong>to</strong>rmwater Management & Environmental Site Management Concept
Plans, C1A, C2D, C3A, C4A & C5A, dated Novem<strong>be</strong>r 2004 and February 2005, by Appleyard
Forrest Consulting Engineers. This drainage submission incorporates the following
s<strong>to</strong>rmwater management facilities and works for the development:
On site retention <strong>of</strong> s<strong>to</strong>rmwater for domestic re-use within the buildings and landscape
irrigation (<strong>to</strong>tal volume <strong>of</strong> 81m3).
- Diverting an existing Council drainage easement and associated piped drainage system
from within the subject development site <strong>to</strong> the frontage road reserve.
- An overland flow path through the building structure, which will then reconnect in<strong>to</strong> the
existing system downstream.
The Applicant will need <strong>to</strong> have the existing drainage easement in Councils favour, and which
burdens the subject site, extinguished. A resolution must <strong>be</strong> obtained from Ku-ring-gai
Council <strong>to</strong> extinguish this easement for drainage. The associated drainage infrastructure
within the easement <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> extinguished must <strong>be</strong> decommissioned and relocated <strong>to</strong> the frontage
