(ii)        For the commercial component of the development:

a.         A NABERS Energy rating of 5.5 stars or better; and

(iii)      Implementation of Building Integrated Photovoltaics to the northern facades of the development.

(c)       The ESD targets must be included in the competitive design process brief and carried through the competitive design process phase, design development, construction, and through to completion of the project.

Amended by D/2019/992/A on 19 October 2023

(25)    DEMOLITION, EXCAVATION AND CONSTRUCTION NOISE AND VIBRATION MANAGEMENT PLAN

Any subsequent detailed design development application must be accompanied by a A site-specific Demolition, Excavation and Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan must be prepared prior to the issue of any Construction Certificate for any subsequent detailed design development application.

 

The Demolition, Excavation and Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan must be prepared by a suitably qualified person who possesses the qualifications to render them eligible for membership of the Australian Acoustic Society, Institution of Engineers Australia or the Australian Association of Acoustic Consultants.

 

The Demolition, Excavation and Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan must include but not be limited to the following:

 

(a)     Identification of noise sensitive receivers near to the site.

(b)     The proposed hours of all construction and work on the development including building / demolition and excavation work, and activities in the vicinity of the site generating noise associated with preparation for the commencement of work (e.g. loading and unloading of goods, transferring of tools etc.), in connection with the proposed development.

(c)     A prediction as to the level of noise impact likely to affect the nearest noise sensitive receivers from the use and proposed number of high noise intrusive appliances intended to be operated onsite. A statement should also be submitted outlining whether or not predicted noise levels will comply with the noise criteria stated within the City of Sydney Construction Hours / Noise Code of Practice 1992 for the typical construction hours of 7.00am to 7.00pm. Where resultant site noise levels are likely to be in exceedance of this noise criteria then a suitable proposal must be given as to the duration and frequency of respite periods that will be afforded to the occupiers of neighbouring property.

(d)     A representative background noise measurement (LA90, 15 minute) should be submitted, assessed in the vicinity of any potentially affected receiver locations and measured in accordance with AS 1055:1.2.1997.

(e)     Confirmation of the level of community consultation that has/is and will be undertaken with Building Managers/occupiers of the main adjoining noise sensitive properties likely to be most affected by site works and the operation of plant/machinery particularly during the demolition and excavation phases.

(f)      Confirmation of noise monitoring methodology that is to be undertaken during the main stages of work at neighbouring noise sensitive properties in order to keep complaints to a minimum and to ensure that noise from site works complies with the noise criteria contained within City's Construction Noise Code where possible.

(g)     What course of action will be undertaken following receipt of a complaint concerning offensive noise.

(h)     Details of any noise mitigation measures that have been outlined by an acoustic consultant or otherwise that will be deployed on site to reduce noise impacts on the occupiers of neighbouring noise sensitive property to a minimum.

(i)      What plant and equipment is to be used on site, the level of sound mitigation measures to be undertaken in each case and the criteria adopted in their selection taking into account the likely noise impacts on the occupiers of neighbouring property and other less intrusive technologies available.

Amended by D/2019/992/A on 19 October 2023

(31)    STREET TREES

(a)       All street trees adjoining the site must be included for retention with any subsequent detailed design development application excluding street  trees approved for removal under Development Consent D/2022/614.

(b)       Any design elements (awnings, street furniture, footpath upgrades etc.) within the public domain in a subsequent detailed design development application must ensure appropriate setbacks are provided from the street tree to allow maturity of the tree to be achieved.

(c)       The location of any driveway must ensure that the removal of any existing street tree is not required. Any driveway must be appropriately setback so as it does not adversely impact on any existing street tree both below and above ground.

Amended by D/2019/992/A on 19 October 2023

Reasons for Decision

The application is approved for the following reasons:

(A)      The development, as modified, is substantially the same development as that originally approved and is consistent with Section 4.55(2)(a) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979.

(B)      The proposed modification ensures that the detailed design development application is consistent with the concept approval, in order to satisfy Section 4.24 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979.

(D)      The proposal is consistent with the aims, objectives and relevant provisions of the Sydney LEP 2012 and Sydney DCP 2012 for the reasons set out in the report.

(E)      The modified building envelope can accommodate a building design which is capable of exhibiting design excellence in accordance with Clause 6.21C of the Sydney LEP 2012.

(F)      The changes to the approved building envelope are not likely to significantly impact the overall use of the building or the amenity of surrounding sites or locality.

Carried unanimously.
