Cr Nugent asked for information on what noise controls are to be in place as part of the Operational Management Plan for the site.
The Director Development Services stated that condition 47 of the approval provides for a Noise Management Plan for this development, in addition condition 49 stipulates an Acoustic Commissioning Report be prepared and provided to Council within 3 months of the issue of an Occupation Certificate in order to confirm all noise emissions from the development are compliant as predicted. Condition 14 requires that prior to the issue of a Construction Certificate all mechanical plant must be certified to meet the noise targets of this development.
Cr Kidd asked if the Margaret Street intersection was safe.
The Director Technical Services stated that all intersections have an inherent danger as they deal with opposing traffic and there are multiple variables such as vehicle speed, vehicle condition, driver behaviour and road conditions. Road conditions being only 1 of the four road safety factors. In this case the intersection of Margaret Street and Kearneys Drive is less than desirable for such a development and the proposed motion goes some way to address these safety concerns.
