Owner: Generation Communities Pty Ltd
PLANNING CONTROLS / STATUTORY CLASSIFICATION Pursuant to Part 4 (Division 1) Environmental Planning Instrument: Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan
2010 Zoning: Under the Wagga Wagga Local
Environmental Plan, 2010 - R1 General Residential
Land Use Definition: Child care centre Statement of Permissibility: Permitted with consent Description of Development The proposed development is for a new Child care centre at 10 Burrundulla Road, Bourkelands. The Child care centre will provide a mixture of full and part day care for 44 children. The proposed building is a single storey structure of approximately 360sqm in size and includes two (2) indoor playing areas, a reception area, kitchen, staff room, offices and toilet facilities. An outdoor play area is proposed to the west (the rear) of the building and a parking area to the south. Access to the site is proposed off Burrundulla Road. The centre proposes to operate from 6am to 6pm Monday to Friday with six (6) staff members at any given day. The Site and Locality The site comprises of Lot 21 and Lot 22 DP1193051 which is located on the south-western corner of Burrundulla Road and Glandore Street, Bourkelands. The site has a total area of approximately 1,209.9sqm. The locality is a relatively new residential subdivision with residential lots surrounding the site developed or being developed with single dwelling houses. Easements and Covenants A sewer easement traverses the site along the northern boundary of Lot 22. The easement will not be affected by the development proposal. Both lots are encumbered by a Section 88B instrument which limits the use of the site to single dwelling houses. This restriction is a private restrictive covenant. A private restrictive covenant is an agreement between two or more parties (usually registered on title) that
Page 3 of 34
attempts to restrict the use of land. A private restrictive covenant between a developer and registered proprietor is rendered ineffective by the provisions of the Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan 2010, which permits the use of Child care centres in the R1, General Residential Zone with Council consent.
SUMMARY OF MAIN ISSUES
� Suitability of the site
� Traffic and Parking
� Noise
� Impact on the existing residential nature of the neighbourhood.
MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION UNDER THE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND ASSESSMENT ACT 1979
(a)(i) - The provisions of any environmental planning instrument (EPI)
Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan 2010 (LEP) The following section of this report details the development with reference to the guiding principles and Objectives of the Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan 2010.
Part 2 Permitted or prohibited development Land Use A child care centre is defined under the LEP as follows:
child care centre means a building or place used for the supervision and care of children that:
a) provides long day care, pre-school care, occasional child care or out-of-school-hours care, and
b) does not provide overnight accommodation for children other than those related to the owner or operator of the centre,
c) but does not include: d) a building or place used for home-based child care, or e) an out-of-home care service provided by an agency or organisation accredited by
the Children’s Guardian, or f) a baby-sitting, playgroup or child-minding service that is organised informally by the
parents of the children concerned, or g) a service provided for fewer than 5 children (disregarding any children who are
related to the person providing the service) at the premises at which at least one of the children resides, being a service that is not advertised, or
h) a regular child-minding service that is provided in connection with a recreational or commercial facility (such as a gymnasium), by or on behalf of the person conducting the facility, to care for children while the children’s parents are using the facility, or
i) a service that is concerned primarily with the provision of: i. lessons or coaching in, or providing for participation in, a cultural,
recreational, religious or sporting activity, or ii. private tutoring, or
Page 4 of 34
j) a school, or k) a service provided at exempt premises (within the meaning of Chapter 12 of the
Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998 such as hospitals, but only if the service is established, registered or licensed as part of the institution operating on those premises.
Under the provisions of the LEP, the subject site is zoned R1, General Residential. The objectives of the zone are:
• To provide for the housing needs of the community. • To provide for a variety of housing types and densities. • To enable other land uses that provide facilities or services to meet the day to day
needs of residents. • To ensure co-ordinated and cost-effective provision of physical, social and cultural
infrastructure in new residential areas.
Although the proposed use is not for a residential purpose, Child care centres are permitted in the zone with consent. The proposal is considered consistent with the third listed objective being a use that is specifically designed to serve the day to day needs of local residents. A Child care centre within a residential area is also contributing to the social infrastructure in accordance with the fourth listed objective.
Part 3 Exempt & Complying Development The proposed development is not Exempt or Complying Development; the application is seeking consent. Part 4 Principal development standards None of the principle standards will be exceeded as a result of the proposed development. Part 5 Miscellaneous provisions Not applicable Part 6 Urban Release Areas Not applicable Part 7 Additional Local Provisions 7.3 Environmentally sensitive land - biodiversity Part of the area subject of this application is mapped as land where biodiversity required to be considered. The objectives of this clause are to protect, maintain or improve the diversity of the native vegetation, including:
a) protecting biological diversity of native flora and fauna, and b) protecting the ecological processes necessary for their continued existence, and c) encouraging the recovery of threatened species, communities or populations and
their habitats.
Page 5 of 34
The site is devoid of vegetation and therefore the proposed development would not adversely impact any native vegetation community, habitat or other biodiversity values. The proposed development satisfies these provisions and is consistent with the objectives of this clause. State Environmental Planning Policies (SEPPs) State Environmental Planning Policy No 55-Remediation of Land (SEPP 55)
Clause 7 of SEPP 55 requires that Council consider if the land subject to the application is potentially contaminated. To this end, Council holds no records, nor is there any indication on site that the land is potentially contaminated. Section 79C(1)(a)(ii) - Any proposed instrument that is or has been the subject of public consultation under this Act and that has been notified to the consent authority No relevant planning instrument under this clause is currently the subject of public exhibition or comment. Section 79C(1)(a)(iii) - The provisions of any development control plan Wagga Wagga Development Control Plan 2010 (DCP) The following section of this report details the development with reference to the Objectives and Controls of the Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan 2010.
Section 1 - General 1.10 Notification of Development Application
Pursuant to this provision, notification and advertising of the application are required. Notification was conducted to properties surrounding the development and an advertisement was placed on the site and in the local newspaper. Clause 1.11 of the DCP requires all applications requesting a numerical variation of more than 10% or where 10 or more submissions were received to be decided by Council. The application requires no variation of the DCP controls, however 10 submissions have been received and as such the application is referred to Council for decision. See later in this report under S79C(1)(d) for further discussion of this matter. Section 2 - Controls that Apply to All Development 2.1 Vehicle access and movements
The proposed development makes provision for suitable access to existing movement systems. The proposed building is located on northern side of the land with a car park adjoining to the south. Vehicular access is provided off Burrundulla Road. The proposed access arrangement is considered appropriate and vehicles will be able to enter and leave the site in a forward direction.
Page 6 of 34
2.2 Off-street parking
An assessment of the application has demonstrated that there is ample space on site to accommodate car parking and traffic circulation for any of the activities proposed of the development. Child care centres require 1 parking space for every four children attending the centre. With a capacity of 44 children, this results in a requirement of 10 spaces. The layout plans for the site show 11 car parking spaces inclusive of a parking space for people with disabilities. The car park area includes a number of trees to both the front, rear and side boundaries which satisfies the requirements for plantings within the car park. 2.3 Landscaping
Landscaping is an important aspect of any development, and complements good design. Trees, shrubs and green spaces can “soften” the impact of a development and can screen it from surrounding uses. A concept landscape plan has been submitted with the application, which indicates a sympathetic introduction of vegetation to the existing urban landscape. As this is a vacant site with no landscaping all of the proposed works and plantings are considered beneficial to the visual amenity afforded to this location. Landscaping will also be provided to the rear and side of the site which will help to visually screen the development and provide a suitable setting for the outdoor play area. The landscape plan does not contain the level of detail required under the landscaping guidelines however the applicant requested that compliance with this section be enforced via a condition of consent. 2.4 Signage
No signage is proposed as part of this application. There are a number of signage types that may be permissible under the provisions of Exempt and Complying Development. 2.5 Safety and Security
The centre has been designed with a clearly defined public entry point and open pedestrian access. The centre offers natural surveillance, there are no blank walls or concealed areas and the fencing that is proposed around the site provides a safe and secure area for children to play outdoors. The proposal is consistent with the provisions of this clause. 2.6 Erosion and Sediment Control Principles
Temporary sediment and erosion control measures will be implemented during construction. Conditions of consent are imposed in this regard.
2.7 Development adjoining open space
The main objective of this section is to ensure that developments adjoining open space contain impacts within their boundaries and don’t impinge on, or rely on the open space area as a buffer. The site is not located next to a public open space; therefore clause 2.7 is not applicable. Section 3 - Heritage Conservation Not applicable.

Section 4 - Environmental Hazards and management
Not applicable. Section 5 - Natural Resource and Landscape Management Not applicable Section 6 - Villages Not applicable Section 7 - Subdivision Not applicable Section 8 - Rural Development Not applicable Section 9 - Residential Development Not applicable Section 10 - Business Development Not applicable. Section 11 - Industrial Development Not applicable Section 12 - Specific Uses and Developments Section 12.5 - Child Care Centres
The objectives of this section are: O1 Encourage child care centres to be located on corner sites and sites parking and
access to the centre can be easily managed.
The proposed site is located on a corner and site is of a sufficient size to accommodate the parking and on-site vehicle manoeuvring. All vehicles will be able to enter and exit the site in a forward direction.
O2 Protect the amenity of adjoining land uses through good site planning, landscaping and layout.
The proposal includes a concept landscape plan which aims to soften the appearance of the development. A more detailed plan is required to be submitted to Council by virtue of condition consent.
Page 8 of 34
O3 Enhance the streetscape and provide a visually attractive buffer between the street
and building/ car park. The proposed development complies with the objectives being located on a site where parking and access can be easily managed. The building presents to both street frontages and enhances the amenity of the area by developing an attractive building with landscaping. O4 Provide children with learning and educational opportunities through landscaping
initiatives such as flower beds and vegetable gardens. This objective is to be satisfied under the proposed conditions of consent. The specific controls for child care centres are detailed below. C1 Provide adequate space to allow for drop off and parking requirements within the
development site. The existing car park provides sufficient room to allow for parking and drop offs. C2 Design and locate set down, pick up and parking areas to be visible from the road
but to maintain the amenity of adjoining properties. The set down, pick up and parking areas will be visible from the Burrundulla Road, but will maintain the amenity of adjoining properties through additional embellishments in the form of landscaping. C3 The front setback is to include a 2m landscape strip. Landscape buffer areas may
be required to side boundaries. A landscape strip in excess of 2m is proposed along the frontage to Glandore Street and well as Burrundulla Road. Further landscaping is also provided within the site and along each boundary. A condition of consent will re-enforce this requirement.
C4 Design and locate outdoor activity areas to maximise the natural site features,
including climate considerations such as avoiding afternoon sun but take advantage of cooling breezes in summer. All playgrounds must be capable of supervision at all times.
The outdoor play area is located on the western side of the building site, allowing for exposure to natural sunlight. A covered area is provided in accordance with the provisions of this control. C5 Outdoor play areas are to be fenced on all sides. The fencing is to be at least 1.8m
in height, and to be equipped with child proof self-locking mechanisms. The fence should be designed to prevent children scaling or crawling under.
Fencing has been provided to the outdoor play area, the fencing is 1.8 metres in height and of a Colourbond design to the side and rear boundaries. The fencing that presents to Glandore Street and the car park is also 1.8 metres in height but of an open style
Page 9 of 34
(“Diplomat” security style). C6 The outdoor play area is to include an undercover space that is large enough for
use during wet weather and to provide protection from the sun. The undercover area extends across almost the entire width of the building providing sufficient space for both hot and wet weather.
C7 Design outdoor play areas to include a range of opportunities for developmental
play. The area that is available for outdoor play has the potential for many different learning opportunities that will be developed by the staff. C8 Landscaping, mounding and fencing treatments may be required where there is
potential for adverse amenity impacts to adjoining properties. This could include using landscaping to contain outdoor play areas or lapped metal or masonry fencing.
Landscaping and fencing is proposed around the play area which aims to satisfy this control. C9 Locate play equipment such as cubby houses, trampolines and slides not to
overlook neighbours properties. Shade structures should not be located where they will be elevated in relation to boundary fences where they could cause visual or shadow impacts.
The specific details of play equipment are not included as part of the development application. As the play area is cut into the site, there is no opportunity for overlooking or overshadowing. C10 Use vegetation that is non-allergenic and sensitive to water restrictions. Specific plant types identified on the landscape plan have been assessed as appropriate in this location. A revised landscape plan is to be submitted prior to the release of the construction certificate and further assessment will occur then.

Section 79C(1)(a)(iiia) - Planning Agreements There are no planning agreements in place for this proposal.
Section 79C(1)(a)(iv) - any matters prescribed by the regulations Matters prescribed by the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 have been satisfied.
Section 79C(1)(b) - likely impacts of the development
Context and setting
The proposed Child Care Centre is considered appropriate in the locality as it is serving the needs of the local residents. The residential properties surrounding the site are likely to be users of the facility and it is therefore a valuable addition to the neighbourhood.
Site design and aesthetics
This assessment report has demonstrated that there are no site constraints that would render the site unsuitable for the proposed development. Other than a 2m landscaping buffer that is required on the streetscapes, no setbacks are required in terms of the DCP provisions. Overall the design of the development is considered acceptable. The proposed development has been designed to have an attractive, functional appearance and will be constructed of materials and finishes compatible with existing developments within the neighbourhood. The scale and bulk of the building will not have a negative impact on the streetscape. The development will therefore maintain a good relationship with other buildings in the street.
Traffic, access and parking
Council’s engineers have considered the impact on the proposal use on existing road infrastructure and concluded that the application can be supported without any additional road improvements. The overall conclusion of the assessment is that, with, the local road network will be able to operate safely and within capacity when the proposed development is operational. A total of 11 parking spaces have been provided in accordance with the DCP parking requirements and will comfortable satisfy the parking demands generated by the proposed development.
Noise
Noise during construction will occur in a similar manner as with the construction of dwelling houses. During operation, the facility may result in additional noise impacts. The magnitude of the impact would be dependent upon a number of factors, and a number of mitigation measures have been proposed under the conditions of consent to minimise these effects. A noise management plan is required under the conditions of consent, which requires a combination of controls including restrictions on operation hours, screening and location of play equipment. This would ensure that the noise
Page 11 of 34
levels are reduced as far as practical. It is recommended that a Noise Management Plan be prepared to assist in addressing noise complaints from the site in accordance with the recommended noise mitigation measures and it should include measurement and monitoring of noise levels; complaint management procedures as well as periodic review of the plan. Utilities and services
The development is connected to all relevant utilities and services
Landscaping
A concept landscape plan has been submitted with the application, which indicates a sympathetic introduction of vegetation to the existing urban landscape. Landscaping will soften the impact of the development and will screen it from surrounding uses. A more detailed landscape plan is required under the conditions of consent.
Overlooking
The applicant has indicated that the play area will be excavated 1 metre below the natural ground level and will have a 1.8m high colourbond metal fence above the retaining wall. This will create a 2.8m screen between the neighbouring properties which will be able to assist with privacy of the residential properties. Landscaping will also be provided to assist with screening.
Safety and security
The development is designed to optimize personal safety and property security by way of natural surveillance, utilisation of robust construction materials.
Heritage
The proposal will have no significant impact on the values of places, which reflect the community’s history and identity.
Natural hazards
The site is not mapped as being subject to bushfire or flood risks.
Water quality and stormwater
The proposal is not anticipated to have any additional impact on water quality and stormwater.
Soil and erosion
Temporary sediment and erosion control measures will be implemented during construction. Conditions of consent are imposed in this regard.
Page 12 of 34
Construction
The development will be conditioned to comply with all relevant Council standards.
The Principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development
The proposal is considered to comply with the four principles of Ecologically Sustainable Development such as inter-generational equality and conservation of biological diversity and ecological integrity. Section 5A ("Seven Part Test" - Threatened Species)
There are no identified threatened species or habitats on site. No further assessment is required under this section. Socio-economic impact in locality
The proposed development will help to stimulate the local economy through employment of contractors, suppliers as well as child care workers. The presence of the child care centre is considered to have a broader social and economic benefit by providing a facility that takes care and assist in developing young children. Child care centres provide a much needed community function, but many are operated as a commercial venture, with market forces also influencing the location and availability of the service. The ever-increasing demand for child care centres and the strong focus on their appropriate distribution and location is closely linked to demographic change where both parents need to work due to economic pressures, which creates a greater demand for child care services. Consequently, the availability of child care centres in close proximity to the home/workplace is becoming more important. The rising demand for child care services means that these are becoming an essential component of residential neighbourhoods.
Licencing
The State Government is responsible for licensing child care centres under the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act, 1998. The NSW Department of Community Services (DOCS) administers this Act as well as the Children’s Services Regulation 2004.Child care centres require development consent to be obtained from Council prior to commencement of operation. In addition to the above, the activity must be licensed by DOCS. The Children’s Services Regulation 2004 provides that where development consent is required under the EP&A Act, an application for license may not be made until development consent has been obtained. The requirements of DOCS may vary from time to time, or they may implement policies or practices in addition to the statutory provisions. It is therefore recommended that DOCS be contacted to determine these requirements.
Council does not enforce or control such requirements and the onus rests with the applicant to ensure that their licensing obligations are satisfied. However, an assessment of this application also considered the minimum standards for indoor and outdoor spaces under the Children’s Services Regulation 2004. The regulations indicate a minimum of 3.25sqm indoor space per child and 7sqm outdoor space per
Page 13 of 34
child. The proposed development provides for a total of 157sqm indoor space and 318sqm place area which is able to accommodate the 44 children proposed by the application. A condition is imposed which requires the facility to be licenced by NSW Department of Community Services.
Section 79C(c) - the suitability of the site for the development
This assessment report has demonstrated that the development is compatible with adjoining developments and that there are no site constraints that would render the site unsuitable for the proposed development. The child care is considered appropriate in the location as it is serving the needs of the local residents. The residential properties surrounding the site are likely to be users of the facility and it is therefore a valuable addition to the neighbourhood. Section 79C(d) - any submissions made in accordance with the Act or the regulation
- Referrals
This application has been assessed by relevant Council planning, engineering, environmental, and other technical officers as required. The application is supported, subject to conditions.
- Notification
In accordance with the Council’s advertising and notification provisions outlined in Section 1.10 of the Wagga Wagga Development Control Plan 2010 the application was notified for 14 days between 09/06/2015 and 23/06/2015.
- Advertising
In accordance with the Council’s advertising and notification provisions outlined in Section 1.10 of the Wagga Wagga Development Control Plan 2010 the application was advertised for 14 days between 09/06/2015 and 23/06/2015.
- Submissions
A total of 10 public submissions were received. The following is a summary of the objections received with Council officer’s comments: Objection/concern Council officer’s comment Traffic. There is a concern that the existing road infrastructure will not be able to accommodate the additional traffic generated by the proposed use.
Burrundulla Road is a minor link road with a speed limit of 50km/h. The applicant indicated that the peak period for the centre would be between 7.30am and 9am as well as between 4.30pm and 6pm. At full capacity, the drop-off and pick would equate to 28 cars per hour plus staff. The applicant has indicated that the proposed childcare centre will generate an extra 50 to 60 traffic movements per day. Council’s engineers have considered the impact on the proposal use on existing road infrastructure and concluded that the
Page 14 of 34
application can be supported without any additional road improvements. The overall conclusion of the assessment is that, with, the local road network will be able to operate safely and within capacity when the proposed development is operational.
Pedestrian safety. There is a concern that there are no footpaths that lead to the childcare centre, therefore holds a risk to pedestrian safety.
Although this concern is shared, footpaths are only required along major collector roads; the site is not on a collector road. The centre has been designed to allow for safe drop-off and collection of children and movement and parking of staff, parent, visitor and service vehicles in accordance with the DCP controls and relevant Australian Standards.
Parking. There is a concern that the development will not provide sufficient parking
A total of 11 parking spaces have been provided in accordance with the DCP parking requirements.
Oversupply of childcare centres. There is opinion that the proposed childcare centre is not required in the neighbourhood.
This is not a planning related consideration that is used within development assessment and cannot be considered as a relevant ground to object to an application. A childcare centre is currently under construction in Illeura Road; this childcare centre will be specialising in the “Montessori’ Educational programmes that may not appeal to everyone and the proposal is providing an alternative.
Noise. The proposed use will create noise during construction during operation in the play area.
There is expected to be a degree of noise and disturbance during the construction of the centre. A child care centre will generate noise but will be restricted to operational hours with no noise generation on weekends or in the evenings. A Noise Management Plan is required under the consent. It is recommended that a Noise Management Plan be prepared to assist in addressing noise complaints from the site in accordance with the recommended noise mitigation measures and it should include measurement and monitoring of noise levels; complaint management procedures as well as periodic review of the plan. The Noise Management plan shall include physical measures to reduce the impacts as a result of noise by the childcare centre, including the
following requirements: - Locate any play structures at least 3m from any property boundary located adjoining a residential property. - Provide double glazing on windows
�- Provide noise barriers, which may include
fencing types that minimise noise transmission
�Limit the number of children to be outdoors at
any one time. �- Provide an activity program, with particular reference to the outdoor playing area.
Page 15 of 34
Amenity. There is concern that the use will alter the amenity of the area.
The development has been designed to be compatible with the residential nature of the locality. The size and the bulk of the building are conducive to the general built form and landscaping has been provided to embellish the development, in specific that of the parking area. In terms of the overall operation, the impacts associated with traffic and noise will increase during drop-off and pick up times. During the day (outside the drop-off and pick-up times), noise will be concentrated to the play area and traffic movements will subside.
Alternative locations. The submissions raised the question if alternative locations have been considered by the developer.
This is not a requirement that must be considered within development assessment of this nature. The applicant has indicated that other locations were considered with the current site both viable and suitable to the developer’s criteria. The site was considered suitable based on the provisions of the LEP that indicated that childcare centres are permitted with consent in the R1, General Residential Zone and that it satisfies the objectives of the zone.
Operation hours. There is an opinion that the operation hours should be reduced as the noise and traffic generated by the use will impact on the amenity of the area.
The application has sought opening hours of 6am to 6pm. As this is a residential area opening hours of 6am are not considered appropriate. Accordingly the hours have been conditioned as 7am to 6pm which is consistent with other recently approved child care centres in similar locations.
Stormwater detention. There is a concern that the nearby stormwater detention facility will create a safety issue for children attending the child care facility.
The stormwater detention basin is located on Council owned approximately 20m south of the site on Lot 830DP 1148782. The applicant has indicated that the children attending the child care centre will be dropped off at the facility by their parent or carers and looked after by the childcare staff until they are picked up. At no time will the children be allowed out of the enclosed premises. Secure fencing is provided within the facility to ensure children do not get out, other than under direct supervision of the adult.
Loss of property values. There is a concern that the market value of properties in the locality will be reduced as a result of the childcare centre.
The valuation of property is not a planning related consideration that is used within development assessment and cannot be considered as a relevant ground to object to an application.
Page 16 of 34
Section 79C(e ) - the public interest
The public interest is a broad consideration relating to many matters and is not limited to the issues raised by the submissions. This application has been considered in respect to the benefits of the community and the matters discussed in this report are all reflections of the public interest and community expectations. Taking into account the full range of matters for consideration under Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment 1979 (as discussed within this report) it is considered that approval of the application is the public interest. Section 79B(3)
The proposed development will have no significant impact on ecological values and a species impact statement is not required.
Council Policies
Not applicable.
Contributions Plans
Section 94/94A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the City of Wagga Wagga’s Section 94 Contributions Plan 2006-2009 / Levy Contributions Plan 2006 enables Council to levy contributions, where anticipated development will or is likely to increase the demand for public facilities. The development cost is $700,000.00, therefore a $7,000.00 (1% of development cost) contribution applies. However, the subject lot was created pursuant to DA12/0106. A condition of that consent required that Section 94 contributions in the order of $13,167.22 per lot were to be paid. No further Section 94/94A contribution is therefore payable. Section 64 of the Local Government Act, 1993, Section 306 of the Water Management Act 2000 as well as the City of Wagga Wagga’s Development Servicing Plan for Stormwater 2007 and/or City of Wagga Wagga Development Servicing Plan for Sewerage 2006 enable Council to levy developer charges based on the increased demands that new development will have on sewer and/or stormwater. The number of ETs for a child care centre is based on 0.10 per person. The maximum number of children at the centre will be 44 plus 12 staff members. This results an ET of 5.6. The additional impact would be 5.6 minus 2 (ET of 1 applied to two lots) = ET 3.6. $3538 x 3.6 = $12,736.80 Apply CPI (106.8/100.5) = $13,535.23 Stormwater calculations are based on the increase in impervious area created as a result of the development. The total area of the building and the car park is 836 square metres. 836sqm x 1.0 x $1721 = $2,430.33 800 0.74
Page 17 of 34
Credit applied for the two existing lots at a rate of $1721.00 per lot = $3,442.00 Therefore no additional stormwater contributions are payable.
Conclusion
Consideration of the effect of the proposed development on the existing urban environment has been undertaken, and it is considered the proposed development has the potential to have an impact on the amenity of the locality. However, there are also positive impacts associated with the proposed development, particularly in providing a much needed community function. Council officers have tried to strike a balance between the various aspects of public interest and in this instance it is considered that the benefits of the proposed development will outweigh the negative impacts associated with subject approval. An assessment of this application has demonstrated that site is suitable for the proposed use; it satisfies the outcomes sought under the Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan 2010 and it complies with all the relevant controls of the Wagga Wagga DCP 2010. An assessment of the application is supported based on the following grounds:
� The application is for a Child care centre in the R1, General Residential Zone- which is permitted with consent.
� The development complies with the requirements of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and will not compromise the outcomes sought for the Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan 2010.
� An assessment of the application against the relevant sections of the Wagga Wagga Development Control Plan 2010 demonstrates that the proposed development will not cause any significant adverse impacts on the surrounding natural environment, built environment, infrastructure, community facilities or local character and amenity.

Statement of Permissibility: Permitted with consent
Description of Development A development application (DA09/0129) for a new Child care centre at 10 Burrundulla Road, Bourkelands was approved by Council on 01/09/2015. The Child care centre will provide a mixture of full-time and part day care for 44 children. The proposed building is a single storey structure of approximately 360sqm in size and includes two 2 indoor playing areas, a reception area, kitchen, staff room, offices and toilet facilities. An outdoor play area is proposed to the west (the rear) of the building and a parking area to the south. Access to the site is proposed off Burrundulla Road. An application under Section 96(1)(a) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 has now been made seeking to modify of the original development consent under DA15.0273. The request is to:
amend condition 8 (requirement to lodge a Noise Management Plan); delete condition 41 (requirement to notify the NSW Food Authority); and delete condition 50(a) (requirement to provide a drop-off and pick-up facility).
To avoid any confusion, it should be noted that the numbering of the original conditions of consent under DA15/0273 have changed as a result of a modification under DA15/0273.01. The requirements under condition 8 (to provide a Noise Management Plan) have been moved to condition 35(a). The proposal is therefore to amend condition 35(a) as well as the deletion of conditions 41 and 50(a) as outlined above and described in more detail below. MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 96(1)(a)
An application under Section 96(1)(a) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 has been made seeking to modify of the development consent under DA15.0273.01 as follows:
Page 3 of 27
Amend condition 35(a). Condition 35(a) requires the following: 35 (a) Prior to the issue of the Occupation Certificate (or any interim Occupation
Certificate) the applicant shall develop a Noise Management Plan that has a primary aim but is not necessarily limited to, the ongoing evaluation and application of best practice and all feasible and practicable means to reduce emissions. The Noise Management plan shall include physical measures to reduce the impacts as a result of noise by the childcare centre, including the following:
Locate any play structures at least 3m from any property boundary located adjoining a residential property. Erection of noise barriers, which may include fencing types that minimise noise transmission In addition to the above, the plan may include the following measures to reduce noise:
Double glazing on windows Limiting the number of children to be outdoors at any one time. Providing an activity program, with particular reference to the outdoor
playing area.
The Noise Management Plan shall be approved by the Director of Planning and Regulatory Services or delegate and fully implemented prior to the commencement of the use. The approved plan shall be implemented for the lifetime of the development on the subject site. The plan main aim shall be to minimise the loss of amenity to nearby residents due to noise; and shall:
Set up a noise complaints response procedure to include recording of individual complaints and review and continual improvement of noise management.
Provide a program for noise monitoring to be carried out if complaints are received.
Where levels of noise complaints indicate a higher level of impact than the limit stated below, then actions to ameliorate impacts should be developed and implemented.
The development shall maintain an ambient noise level within the centre not exceeding 40dB(A).
The applicant requests that condition 35(a) be amended to:
“That the operator of the childcare centre monitors the noise levels at the midpoint of each boundary for a period of eight weeks after occupation of the building with an approved noise metre. That the results of the noise measurements they submit to Council be used to determine if they exceed the ambient noise level for the area of 40 dB(A). In the event that the noise levels exceed 40 dB(A) then the noise management plan be prepared to ameliorate the impacts and submitted to the Director and Planning and Regulatory Services for approval”
Page 4 of 27
The applicant’s request is considered reasonable as the main aim of the condition is to maintain an appropriate ambient background noise level and to have a Noise Management Plan in place if the noise levels exceed the restricted noise level. In addition Council have not previously required Noise Management Plans for other similar childcare centres in Wagga Wagga. Council’s Environmental Health Section reviewed the request and suggested that the wording be changed as follows: 35(a) The dB(A)Leq noise level emitted from the premises shall not exceed the
background noise level in any Octave Band Centre Frequency (31.5Hz–8kHz inclusive) by more than 5dB during operational hours at the boundary of any affected residence.
The operator of the childcare centre shall monitor noise levels at the midpoint of each boundary for a period of eight weeks after occupation of the building with an approved noise meter. Noise metering shall be conducted at appropriate intervals during operations hours, including but not limited to drop-off and pick-up and activity times.
The results of the noise measurements shall be submitted to Council. In the event that the noise levels exceeds 5dB(A) above background levels at any given reading during the 8 week period or subsequent reading as a result of noise complaints, the applicant shall develop a Noise Management Plan to be submitted and approved by the Director of Planning and Regulatory Services (or delegate). The Noise Management Plan shall be implemented for the lifetime of the development on the subject site. The main aim of the Noise Management Plan shall be to minimise the loss of amenity to nearby residents due to noise. The plan shall include:
• noise complaints response procedure to include recording of individual
complaints and review and continual improvement of noise management. • provide a program for noise monitoring to be carried out if complaints are
received. Delete condition 41.Condition 41 requires the following. 41. Prior to the release of the Occupation Certificate the NSW Food Authority must be
notified of the Food Business Premise The applicant’s request is to delete condition 41 as notification to the NSW Food Authority since 1 September 2015 is no longer required. The recommendation is to amend the condition to provide notification to current food Authority (Council) instead of the NSW Food Authority. The application has been forwarded to Council’s Environmental Health Section, which supports the proposal to change this condition as per the recommendation. Delete condition 50(a). Condition 50(a) requires the following: 50(a) That the applicant install at their cost a paved area constructed behind the existing
kerb line and to be signposted as a drop off/pick up zone in the road reserve to allow two vehicles to use the space, in accordance with Council’s Engineering
Page 5 of 27
Guidelines for subdivisions and development.
Prior to any works occurring the applicant shall have lodged with and approved by council a Section 138 permit application. Such an application shall be lodged in accordance with application submission requirements and accompanied by relevant application fee.
The applicant is of the opinion that this condition is “unnecessary, unreasonable and unsafe in the view of the fact that sufficient off street parking has been provided on the site in accordance with Council’s DCP and RMS’s traffic management parking guidelines”. The applicant provided the following reason for the request to delete this condition. “The on-site car park is designed and set out for safe secure drop-off and pickup of children attending the childcare centre - parents do not drop off or pick up children at the curb side in the street at a childcare centre. Children are delivered to and collected from the premises through secure childproof gates, coded entry doors and signed in and out under direct supervision of the parents and staff. The RTA (RMS) guide to traffic Generating Development states that parking demand is highest for the pre-school and lower for the before/after school care averaging over all centres 0.23 car per child at any one time, with the average length of stay for all centres being 6.8 minutes.” Condition 50(a) was not a recommended condition under the original section 79C assessment report. The condition was imposed by the Policy and Strategy Committee at its meeting of 10/08/15. Council’s DCP has no control which requires pick-up and drop-off facilities at Childcare Centres, nor has it been imposed at any of the most recent development applications for Child care centres in Wagga Wagga. All of these Childcare centres are currently operated without demarcated drop-off and pick-up facilities. Council has not received any complaints about the parking facilities at these childcare centres and it would be safe to assume that any inconvenience during drop-off and pick-up times would be temporary. The approved application complies with the parking requirements under section 2.2 of the DCP as well as the RTA’s Guide to Traffic Generating Developments. In accordance with the RTA’s Guide to Traffic Generating Developments surveys of pre-school, long day-care and before / after school care centres found that the best indicator of peak traffic generation (and demand for parking inclusive of staff parking) is the number of children that attend each centre. With a capacity of 44 children and a maximum of 6 staff members (the number of staff members in attendance will depend on the amount of children present), this results in a requirement of 10 spaces for the facility which would be able to accommodate during peak demand at drop-off and pick-up times. The facility makes provisions for 11 car parking spaces in accordance with the above-mentioned parking requirements. In summary, the application complies with all the relevant provisions of the Wagga Wagga DCP including the on-site parking and it is considered unreasonable for the applicant/developer to provide a drop-off and pick-up facility in the road reserve (behind the kerb line) over and above the parking requirements of the Wagga Wagga DCP. The purpose of the drop-off and pick-up area (behind the kerb line) is also considered excessive due to the way childcare centres operate. Parking facilities at childcare centres
Page 6 of 27
function as a “drop-off and pick-up area” and the with the exception of staff parking, the majority of parking spaces will be used temporarily when parents or guardians sign-in or sign-out children. The proposal to remove the requirement to provide a drop-off and pick-up area in the road reserve has been referred to Council’s Engineering Section who indicated very little support for the drop-off and pick-up facility behind the kerb line due to potential conflict with other road users including pedestrians In consideration of the above, the proposed removal of the requirement to provide a drop-off and pick-up facility behind the kerb line is supported. For the purpose of determining the application to modify consent, the following matters pursuant to the provisions of Section 96(1)(a) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, have been taken into consideration. Section 96(1A) Modifications involving minimal environmental impact (a) it is satisfied that the proposed modification is of minimal environmental
impact. An assessment of the development application has demonstrated that the proposed changes will have no significant environmental impact. (b) it is satisfied that the development to which the consent as modified relates is
substantially the same development as the development for which the consent was originally granted and before that consent as originally granted was modified (if at all).
An approval of the modification will result in substantially the same development as previously approved; the intensity of the use will not increase as a result of the modification. (c) it has notified the application in accordance with: i. the regulations, if the regulations so require, or
ii. a development control plan, if the consent authority is a council that has made a development control plan that requires the notification or advertising of applications for modification of a development consent.
Applications under Section 96(1A) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 are not required to be notified under the provisions of the Wagga Wagga Development Control Plan 2010. Given the original amount of submissions received against the original development application, the proposed modification was re-notified to surrounding neighbours are well as previous submitters. (d) it has considered any submissions made concerning the proposed
modification within any period prescribed by the regulations or provided by the development control plan, as the case may be.
One submission was received against the proposed modification. The following is a
Page 7 of 27
summary of the submission with Council officers’ comments.
Submission Officer comments
There is a concern with the applicant’s
proposal to undertake an 8 week
monitoring to determine if a noise
management plan is required. The
concern is that the noise monitoring would
not include all aspects of the development
including noise monitoring during drop-off
and pick-up time. Monitoring should be
conducted for the duration of the use, not
just for the first 8 weeks.
The applicant is of the opinion that the
facility (like any of the other recently
approved Childcare centres in Wagga
Wagga) will be able to operate with very
little disturbance to adjoining residents
without the need for a Noise Management
Plan. The requirement to maintain an
appropriate background noise level will still
remain in the conditions of consent. Noise
monitoring during the first 8 weeks of
operation will be conducted at appropriate
intervals including drop-off and pick- up
times.
The requirement for the drop-off and pick-
up facility should remain as it would
provide more space for people to turn
around in Burrundulla Road. The facility
would allow for short stay drop-off and
pick-up which does not require parking. It’s
recommended that a sign restricting the
short term parking in the facility to 5
minutes
The current conditions of consent require a
drop-off and pick-up facility over and
above the parking provisions of the Wagga
Wagga DCP. The applicant has sufficiently
outlined the reasons why this drop-off and
pick-up facility would have very little
purpose and why the condition is
considered excessive and unreasonable.
MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 79C(1) For the purpose of determining this development application, the following matters that are of relevance to the development have been taken into consideration pursuant to the provisions of Section 79C(1) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979. (a)(i) - The provisions of any environmental planning instrument (EPI)
The nature of the modification is such that the compliance of the development with the Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan 2010 will remain unchanged and the previous assessment remains remains valid.
(a)(ii) - The provisions of any draft environmental planning instrument There are no draft environmental planning instruments relevant to the development.
(a)(iii) - Any development control plan
The nature of the modification is such that the compliance of the development with the Wagga Wagga Development Control Plan 2010 plans will remain unchanged and the previous assessment (attached hereto as annexure A) remains valid.
Page 8 of 27
(a)(iiia) - any planning agreement that has been entered into under section 93F, or any draft planning agreement that a developer has offered to enter into under section 93F, and There are no planning agreements in place for this proposal. (a)(iv) - any matters prescribed by the regulations
Matters prescribed by the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 have
been satisfied.
(c) - The suitability of the site for the development
An assessment of the original application demonstrated that the development will be conducive with the existing environment and will be able to exist without decreasing the amenity of the adjacent uses. The proposed modification will not alter the previous assessment (attached hereto as annexure A).
(d) - any submissions made in accordance with this Act or the Regulations
Only standard internal Council referrals were made in relation to this development. (e) - the public interest
The public interest was assessed under the original application. The proposed modification will not alter the previous assessment (attached hereto as annexure A)
