land to be dedicated

deep soil

• DCP requires 10% of site area - deep soil landscaping
• no deep soil proposed following land dedication
• applicant requested to provide deep soil – did not to amend proposal
• site constraints + dedication of 30% site area to Council – a variation to

provision supported

• condition recommended – 5% deep soil to be provided

height in storeys

• 7 storeys permitted
• 9 storeys indicatively proposed
• adjacent site subject to 13 storey control
• non compliance not approved but 8 storeys may be acceptable – to

be subject of further assessment during competitive process/detailed DA stage

• proposal complies with 35m height, however insufficient roof top

plant zone / lift overrun – 9 storeys not supported

SDCP 2012 – height in storeys map concept proposal

above ground car parking

• DCP permits above ground car parking for constrained sites only

50% of maximum LEP car parking permitted to above ground

• site is constrained - contamination, flooding, high water table
• however all car parking is proposed above ground
• non-compliance not supported – condition to reduce car parking

tree removal

• 2 street trees proposed to be removed due to widening of driveway &

sightlines

• in principle support of removal tree closest to driveway
• City’s Transport Planner does not consider second tree removal required

to achieve adequate sightlines

• premature to approve any tree removal, further assessment to be made

at detailed design DA

• recommended condition to address tree removal

trees proposed to be removed
