Cr Whitton asked as part of the Conditions we have to do a survey of the site to figure out where the boundaries are, is this correct?

Cr Nugent asked in terms of the Local Housing Strategy (LHS) the land this will be built on is not included in the LHS or required for housing development for the next 20 years – so it will be a number of years after that that it may be required for housing development. 2. Last year the staff recommendation was to approve the development for 35 years and was a decision by WRPP to reduce it to 25 years. Please clarify.
The Acting Director Development Services responded saying that the site of the solar farm is Included in the current Local Housing Strategy but is excluded in the Draft Local Housing Strategy that Council recently considered for the purposes of proceeding to public exhibition. It was acknowledged that the draft housing strategy was anticipated to cater for residential development for the next 20 years. The Acting Director of Development Services confirmed that the staff recommendation on the initial development recommended approval of the development for 35 years and that the Western JRPP altered the condition in determining the matter to limit the life span of the development to 25 years.

RESOLVED - 21/402 Cr J Hamling/Cr S Nugent 1 That Council advise the proponent of the need for the Planning Proposal to retain the Urban Release Area designation pending preparation and adoption of the following documents that must address the matters raised in this report to the satisfaction of Council: · A site specific Development Control Plan incorporating the matters in the attached Rosedale Gardens DCP scope of works required document, and · A site specific Development Contributions Plan or inclusion within a review of the LGA wide contributions plan 2 That staff forward the Planning Proposal to the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment requesting a Gateway Determination, with the recommendation that: · The Planning Proposal be required to retain the current Urban Release Area designation, · The steepest portions of the site, being areas with a slope exceeding 20%, be added to Schedule 5 of SEPP (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) to reduce the risk of landslip potential arising from inappropriate development, and · Council requests any Gateway Determination confirm the preferred mechanism for capping the site at 700 residential lots (excluding any lots created for non-residential purposes, such as open space dedications and the like). · Should the Gateway seek substantive changes to the proposal that Council be provided the opportunity to further review and consider such changes before proceeding further. 3 That upon receipt of a Gateway Determination staff proceed with any relevant conditions, consultations and exhibitions required before reporting the matter back to Council. |

Cr Kidd asked this development has gone from 450 lots to 700 do we need to make sure we have services to those houses, electricity sewerage etc
The Chief Executive Officer responded by saying this is still their vision and at this early stage we do not have that sort of detail
Cr Duffy commented that he had major concern with access roads and asked will it fit into the infrastructure we have planned going out towards CSU and will they be adequately done
The Chief Executive Officer responded by saying that Council would engage with other agencies through the process including RMS - given the increase of lot yield, water harvesting will this detract from the yield.
Director Technical Services responded by saying that one of the requirements of the subdivision code is that all new roads constructed within a subdivision will be tested prior to sealing with a Benkelman Beam. This tests deflection of the pavement and highlights anything from poor design, poor materials or poor construction techniques. Developer Contributions will be collected to support the upgrade of Clergate Road and Leeds Parade. It is still the developers intent to be Water Neutral and the intensification of lots from 450 to 700 will increase the amount of hard surfaces available to collect stormwater from and will be a design consideration. Sewering the lots will also be a design consideration. There is already extensive water infrastructure in place to service the previous abattoir that will be adequate to supply water, however a water tower will most likely be required to supply adequate pressure to some parts of the proposed development and will be a design consideration.
Cr Nugent asked how this relates to the LHS, this land is included in the LHS and would it be 450 lot yield, does this impact on other greenfield sites
The Chief Executive Officer responded and said that Council actually allowed for this in the Strategy
Cr Duffy asked is the land owned by the developer, not anyone else
Director Technical Services answered yes its owned by the developer
