EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Minister has appointed the State Coordinator General with powers to determine
certain development over $3 million in value be considered by the Development
Assessment Commission (DAC), as the relevant authority, pursuant to Schedule 10 of the
Development Regulations 2008.
On 13 May 2015 the applicant requested that the State Coordinator General consider
making such a determination for this proposal. After considering the request and being
satisfied that the proposal met the criteria specified within Schedule 10, the State
Coordinator General has determined DAC to be the relevant authority for the purposes of
assessing this application.
The applicant seeks approval for the redevelopment of the existing aged care facility at
48 Smith-Dorrien Street, Mitcham. The redevelopment includes the alteration and
additions to existing buildings, new driveways and access arrangements, car parking and
landscaping within the Residential (Central Plains) Zone of the Mitcham (City)
Development Plan.
The application is before the Commission for a decision on the basis that the City of
Mitcham objects to the proposal in particular due to traffic impacts and stormwater
management. 12 representations were received following Category 2 Public Notification
of which 11 wish to be heard.
This application broadly aligns with the Residential (Central Plains) Zone and Residential
(Central Plains) Policy Area 8. The points of conjecture relate to traffic impacts,
stormwater management and loss of amenity. It is considered that the applicant has
satisfactorily addressed these concerns which leads to a recommendation that
Development Plan Consent be granted subject to conditions.

AGENDA ITEM 3.1
ASSESSMENT REPORT
1. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL
The proposal plans and all other application details are contained in ATTACHMENT 3.
The proposal is for the redevelopment of the existing residential aged care facility at 48
Smith-Dorrien Street, Mitcham. The redevelopment includes the demolition of two
existing buildings on the site (one facing Hill Street and the other adjacent the northern
boundary of the site) and the construction of new single and two storey buildings. The
building will have a maximum height of 8.55m measured from the finished floor level to
the pitch of the roof. These buildings contain bedrooms, administration and residential
facilities along with associated landscaping, new main access from Hill Street with on-site
parking space and fencing. The alterations and additions will cover an additional 750m²
within the subject site, this includes building and additional internal road/parking areas.
A summary of the proposal is as follows:
Land Use Description Residential aged care facility
Building Height Two storey maximum, predominately one storey across the
site
Description of levels Both levels are used as residential aged care facility
Setbacks Setbacks of new buildings
Single storey
Hill Street – 12.5m
Northern Boundary – 4m
North-Eastern Boundary – 8.3m
Tow storey
Eastern Boundary – 9.7m
South Eastern Boundary – 15m
North-Eastern Boundary (Terrace) – 24m
North-Eastern Boundary (Windows) – 29m
Site Access Access to the site is provided from Hill Street, Truro
Avenue and Smith-Dorrien Street
All accesses to the site are two-way
The Hill Street access is the main entrance into the site for
the general public with Truro Avenue and Smith-Dorrien
predominantly used by staff and service vehicles
Car and Bicycle
Parking
44 on-site parking spaces are provided, with an additional
16 on-street dedicated spaces for car parking
Loading bay area, 2 loading spaces (located in the northern
portion of the site)
Short term park available within driveway/’drop off zone’
accessed via Hill Street
The buildings proposed will be of a similar nature to the existing built form currently on
the site currently. Features include colorbond sheeting roof (birch/dune), a combination
of different wall facades being Boral brick (Victoria Blue), Boral honest block (Almond),
timber horizontal cladding (Walnut) and express joint sheet lining (Dulux Rose Pink Villa).
All plant equipment is located on the ground floor within the buildings curtilage on the
northern and eastern sides and enclosed by acoustic screens.
Landscaping will be established throughout the site. Planting will be established fronting
of Hill street (adjacent the new building and within the proposed access and parking

spaces, along with planning in the new building curtilage in the north-eastern corner and
along the boundary.
There will be some minor internal road alterations and the loading dock area will be
relocated, in close proximity to its existing position. No changes are proposed to delivery
and service vehicle arrangements.
Operation and Reports
The existing residential aged care facility currently comprises residential accommodation
with associated services and facilities for the residents. The site currently has
licence/approval to accommodate 120 residents within the facility (applicant has
informed this resident limit is established under the federal Aged Care Act 1997). At
present there are 107 beds for residents and this proposal increases the number of beds
to 118.
The applicant has provided a traffic analysis report, prepared by MFY Pty Ltd. The report
includes a parking assessment, parking design, traffic impact, traffic access
arrangements (for both car and delivery truck requirements) and an analysis of the
existing traffic volumes.
A stormwater management plan has been provided by the applicant, prepared by Combe
Pearson Reynolds Consulting Engineers. This report outlines the stormwater design for
the management and disposal of stormwater post development of the site, in response to
the City of Mitcham stormwater management requirements.
2. SITE AND LOCALITY
2.1 Site Description
The site consists of 5 allotments, described as follows:
Lot No Section Street Suburb Hundred Title
Reference A31 DP5736 Smith-Dorrien Street Mitcham Adelaide CT 5850/910
A14 DP2705 Truro Avenue Kingswood Adelaide CT 5760/830
A310 FP12734 Hill Street Kingswood Adelaide CT 5846/235
A311 FP12734 Hill Street Kingswood Adelaide CT 5808/241
A51 DP23266 Hill Street Kingswood Adelaide CT5438/70
The subject site is an irregular shape. The site area is approximately 14,450m². The
subject site has street frontages to Smith-Dorrien of 12m, Truro Avenue of 17.7m
and Hill Street of 98.7m.
For comparison, the site has the equivalent area of approximately 45 residential
allotments (at 325m² per lot) conceivably this could equate to in excess of 112
residents (average 2.5 person per household) and vehicle movements in the order of
400 plus (based on an average per day 9 vehicle movements per household)
The site currently contains a residential aged care facility. Currently this site has 107
beds (with an existing approval to accommodate 120 residents) in a range of
residential aged care accommodation and independent living units. In addition to the
residential accommodation section on the site the facility also has an administration

building, common areas, kitchen and dining facilities, landscaped areas and off-street
parking.
The built form on the site is a mixture of single and two storey buildings, with
majority of the buildings being single storey. As well, the site has extensive
landscaping around the buildings which includes a large detention basin in the north
eastern corner of the site.
2.2 Locality
The locality is characterised by predominantly low density detached dwellings. These
dwellings are both single and two storey built forms. The surrounding locality has a
high level of residential amenity. The majority of the surrounding allotments are
based on traditional grid pattern, typical of a suburban area.

6. POLICY OVERVIEW
The subject site is located within the Residential (Central Plains) Zone and the Residential
(Central Plains) Policy Area 8 as described within the Mitcham (City) Development Plan
consolidated 19 February 2015, see Figure 3 below
Relevant planning policies are contained in ATTACHMENT 1 and summarised below.
Figure 3 – Zoning Map
6.1 Policy Area
The subject site is located wholly within the Residential (Central Plains) Policy Area 8.
This policy area is characterised by dwellings constructed mainly between the years
1920 to 1970. New building forms should generally maintain the existing pattern and
scale of detached dwellings with road frontage, although other forms of dwellings
Development Assessment Commission
11 February 2016
11
AGENDA ITEM 3.1
should also be provided to extend the range and choice of housing options available
to the community.
To achieve new development at higher density than that prevailing, whilst
maintaining the character of the area, such development should be located on larger
sites to enable a planned and co-ordinated development. In such instances
development should address the road frontage to maintain the existing streetscape
character, and should either provide, or be located in proximity to, adequate public or
private open space. New development should also ensure that site areas per dwelling
are sufficiently large to provide an adequate provision of unbuilt-upon land, including
private open space with each dwelling. Residential flat buildings may however be
developed in duplex form in appropriate locations where they would be in context
with existing streetscapes and the predominant character of the locality.
6.2 Zone
The Residential (Central Plains) Zone is for the development of primarily detached
dwellings. Other dwelling forms may be appropriate where the external design and
appearance of such dwellings complements the predominant architecture, streetscape
and low-density character of existing development within the locality.
6.3 Council Wide
Particular relevant Council Wide policy provisions are contained within the ‘Residential
Developments’, ‘Form of Development’, ‘Stormwater Management and Flooding’,
‘Movement of People and Goods’ and ‘Appearance of Land and Buildings’ sections of
the Mitcham (City) Development Plan. These seek the following key outcomes:
Residential Development
Within the Council Wide provisions ‘Aged Care Accommodation, Hostels and Nursing
Homes’ location is within the Residential Development section. Within this section
Residential Aged Care Accommodation should be:
development within established or developing residential areas;
located within easy walking distance to essential facilities such as convenience
shops, health and welfare services and/or public transport;
of a form and design, and buildings should be of a bulk and scale that reflects
a residential style and character rather than an institutional character’;
providing ‘spaces to accommodate social needs and activities including social
gatherings, gardening, keeping pets, preparing meals, doing personal
laundry’;
providing pleasant and functional open spaces and landscaping to meet the
needs of residents.
Form of Development
Non-residential development adjacent to residential development and/or zones
should, where appropriate, be designed, sited, constructed, landscaped and
operated in a manner which will minimise the impact of such activities on
adjacent residential development and occupants.
Stormwater Management and Flooding
Development designed and located to protect stormwater from pollution
sources.
Development of stormwater management systems should be designed and
located to improve the quality of stormwater, minimise pollutant transfer to
receiving waters, and protect downstream receiving waters from high levels of
flow.
Development Assessment Commission
11 February 2016
12
AGENDA ITEM 3.1
Movement of People and Goods
Development should provide safe and convenient access for private vehicles,
cyclists, pedestrians, service vehicles, emergency vehicles and public utility
vehicles.
Access points onto public roads should be designed and located so as to
minimise traffic hazards, queuing on public roads, and intrusion into adjacent
residential areas.
Development should provide sufficient off-street parking to accommodate
resident, visitor, customer, employee, and service vehicles
Appearance of Land and Buildings
The appearance of land, buildings, and objects should not impair the amenity
of the locality in which they are situated.
7. PLANNING ASSESSMENT
The application has been assessed against the relevant provisions of the Mitcham (City)
Development Plan, which are contained in ATTACHMENT 1.
7.1 Land Use and Character
The proposal involves the redevelopment (alterations and additions) to the
existing residential aged care facility. The existing land use will not be altered
by this application. While the proposal is of a commercial nature in terms of its
function as a supported accommodation facility, the proposal is for all intents
and purposes a predominantly residential use of the land.
The Residential (Central Plains) Zone and Policy Area 8 provide no specific
policy position for development of this nature. However, within the desired
character for this policy area it does envisage some new development at higher
densities than the existing, so long as to maintain the character of the area.
These newer developments should be located on larger sites to enable planned
co-ordinated development and in appropriate locations where they would be in
keeping with the context of the existing streetscape and predominant character
of the locality. Given the size of the subject site and built form of the existing
aged care facility, it already forms part of the predominant character for this
locality and this proposal continues to build upon this.
Additional to this, new building forms should generally maintain the existing
pattern of the locality and scale of detached dwellings, although other forms of
dwellings should also be provided to extend the range and choice of housing
options within the community. This proposed development builds upon the
existing residential aged care facility and continues to provide this service to
the community.
Furthermore, there are a range of provisions within the Council Wide section of
the Development Plan with regard to appropriately locating such facilities,
access to public services and facilities, as well as offering opportunities for
ongoing interactions with the community generally. Guidance is found within
the Council Wide section of the Development Plan for special needs housing
including aged person’s accommodation (nursing homes and retirement homes)
to be develop within any residential zones in the Council area. The following
provision is of particular relevance:
Development Assessment Commission
11 February 2016
13
AGENDA ITEM 3.1
Aged Care Accommodation, Hostels and Nursing Homes
PDC29 (a) Accommodation specifically for aged or disabled persons should
be:
(i) developed within established or developing residential areas;
(ii) located within easy walking distance to essential facilities such
as convenience shops, health and welfare services and/or public
transport;
(iii) located where movement of ageing persons is not unduly
restricted by the slope of the land;
(iv) located and designed to promote interaction with other sections
of the community;
(v) of a form and design, and buildings should be of a bulk and
scale that reflects a residential style and character rather than an
institutional character;
(vi) provided with pleasant and functional open space and
landscaping to meet the needs of residents.
In the absence of specific principles within the zone provisions, consideration
has been given to PDC29(a) above (also PDC29(b) to (d)). Notwithstanding the
existence of the land use, the proposal generally meets the requirements of
these provisions as it is located within a residential area, provides or is located
near a range of essential facilities (Mitcham Shopping Centre located 700m and
bus stop 150m for the site), movement around the site is convenient, enables
interaction, and is of a form and design which reflects a residential style.
The proposed upgrading of the existing facility and continuance of use is
considered appropriate for this location.
7.2 Built Form, Design and Appearance
The proposal comprises single and two storey built form together with
additional on-site car parking and amended vehicular access.
The zone and policy area offers guidance that all new developments should
complement the existing character of the locality and should address the road
frontage and maintain the existing streetscape. Whilst this proposal is not a
new development, per say, there is a genuine need to consider its scale and
character within its context
The council wide provisions of the Development Plan of relevance in respect to
matters of building form and overall design merit are as follows:
Objective 14 The establishment of safe, attractive and pleasant
residential areas comprising residential development of a scale, form,
density and appearance that maintains or achieves the desired character of
specific zones and, where applicable, policy areas.
PDC150 The appearance of land, buildings, and objects should not impair
the amenity of the locality in which they are situated.
PDC154 Development should incorporate landscaping as an integral part
of the design of the development.
The proposed development builds upon the existing single and two storey built
form within the established residential aged care facility.
Development Assessment Commission
11 February 2016

AGENDA ITEM 3.1
Given its unique site characteristics being Hill Street has a frontage of 98.7m
and Smith-Dorrien Street and Truro Avenue having smaller frontage of 12m
and 17.7m respectively. The majority of streetscape views are from Hill Street
with the remaining built form located on the subject site not visible from the
other roads, being that Smith-Dorrien Street and Truro Avenue are more
access points.
Therefore the Hill street frontage plays an important role of harmonising with
the existing streetscape of the area. Within the Desired Character Statement
for the Residential (Central Plains) Policy area ‘New building forms should
generally maintain the existing pattern and scale of detached dwellings with
road frontage, although other forms of dwellings should also be provided to
extend the range and choice of housing options available to the community’.
The new single storey building front Hill Street is setback 12.5m with
landscaping provided in front. The nature of the built form maintains the
existing character of the other buildings along Hill Street on the subject site
and has a similar design characteristic of a typical suburban dwelling.
Concerns were raised during the public notification period that the two
buildings would be out of character with the surrounding locality and negatively
impact on the visual amenity when viewed the adjoining residences.
The built form is similar to the existing buildings (with two storey already
present) on the subject site, which is encouraged by the Development Plan and
is considered appropriate within this locality given the variety of development
form and styles. The proposed buildings are of a high quality design and
appearance with the bulk and scale of the proposal lessened by the location of
two storey buildings set well within the subject site and therefore not overtly
prominent within the streetscape setting.
7.3 Traffic Impact, Access and Parking
7.3.1 Traffic Impact
The current residential aged care facility has the main visitor access to the site
via Smith-Dorrien Street, with secondary access via Truro Avenue and Hill
Street. The service vehicle access is via Truro Avenue and Smith-Dorrien
Street. This proposal includes the relocation of the main site access to Hill
Street with the other two existing access point to be used as service vehicle
access and opportunity for staff car parking spaces. The applicant has engaged
with MFY traffic consultants to undertake an analysis of the location to
understand the potential impacts of this relocation on the existing road network
function.
The applicant has advised that the volumes generated for the proposed
development will be essentially similar to the existing situation given that the
proposed number of beds will still remain under the allowed capacity of this site
and contemplates a relatively small increase from 107 to 118 beds. Given only
the slight increase in beds there is only likely to be slight increase to staff
numbers if any at all.
The Council Wide provisions of the Development Plan are of relevance in
respect to matters of ‘Movement of People and Goods’ are as follows:
Development Assessment Commission
11 February 2016

AGENDA ITEM 3.1
PDC77 Development should conform with the following principles relating
to traffic, parking and vehicles access, in addition to any relevant land use
specific parking standards:
(a) Development should provide safe and convenient access for private
vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, service vehicles, emergency vehicles and
public utility vehicles.
(c) Access points onto public roads should be designed and located so as to
minimise traffic hazards, queuing on public roads, and intrusion into
adjacent residential areas.
Concerns have been raised, by Council and representors, about the traffic
impacts of the proposal, particularly along Hill Street given this new primary
access. The concerns raised relate to an increase in traffic volume along this
street, Hill Street is a relatively narrow street in sections compared with Smith-
Dorrien Street, and it is already a busy street with this development to
exacerbate the problem.
It has been acknowledged by the applicant that there will be some traffic
redistribution from Smith-Dorrien to Hill Street as a result of the relocation of
the primary access point to the site. However, given the low traffic volumes
generated from this form of development MFY are of the opinion it is not
anticipated to significantly impact the functioning of Hill Street. As part of this
analysis, traffic volume surveys were competed to understand the existing road
network and compared this with Council’s data on traffic volumes of these
streets. The new access arrangement (see Figure 4 below) allows for the
internal free flow of vehicle movements within the site.
Figure 4 - shows the vehicle movement internally for the access of Hill Street
(vehicle movement has been added)
The traffic reports provided for this application show that this proposed
development would have minimal impact to the function of Hill Street, Smith-
Dorrien Street and Truro Avenue and would not cause an unreasonable impact
on the road network and not significantly alter the existing operation of these
streets. The existing traffic volumes for all the roads are below the maximum
typical volumes anticipated for a residential street. The proposed relocation of
the main site access will not change this.
Development Assessment Commission
11 February 2016

AGENDA ITEM 3.1
It is noted that the Council’s planning report (agenda item) to the Full Council
Meeting, (ATTACHMENT 4) that Council’s Traffic Consultant reviewed the
application and provided commentary that ‘traffic volumes are likely to be well
within acceptable capacity for a local residential street.’
7.3.2 Access Arrangement
The Smith-Dorrien Street is the Main entry/access point to the site with
secondary access from Truro Avenue and Hill Street. As previously mentioned
above the proposal includes the relocation of the main site access to Hill Street
whilst retaining the secondary access points on Truro Avenue and Smith-
Dorrien Street.
In consideration of the main entrance being relocated the applicant has
acknowledged it was essential to ensure that all anticipated vehicles would be
able to enter and exit in a forward direction to maintain safe and efficient
movement. Figure 5 shows the access movement of the internal road of a 24
seater bus, being the largest vehicle expected to use this access.
Figure 5 - shows the access movement of 24 seater bus from Hill Street
Relocating the main access point to Hill Street and having the secondary
accesses from Truro and Smith-Dorrien Street are considered acceptable.
Delivery Arrangement
The delivery arrangement for this proposal comprises vehicles entering and
exiting via the secondary access on Truro Avenue and Smith-Dorrien Street.
This is the existing arrangement and is not proposed to change as a result of
the development. The loading bay has been relocated, further east of the
existing location (see Figure 6). The new location of the loading bay allows for
easier access as well as additional room for service/delivery vehicles.

The applicant has demonstration through the analysis and vehicle swept paths
that the site will continue to accommodate delivery requirements as per the
existing situation, with drivers able to enter and exit the site in a forward
direction.
Even though there is no proposed change to the current delivery arrangement
it has been identified that Truro Avenue access should be reconfigured to
ensure the swept path and safe movement of delivery/services vehicles can
occur without damaging the Council infrastructure (Figure 7).
Figure 7 – shows the amended access of Truro Avenue to ensure safe delivery
truck movement
The table below outlines the delivery/service arrangements.

AGENDA ITEM 3.1
Given there is no change to the delivery/service vehicle frequency or access
(save for the improved configuration proposed for the existing access point
from Truro Avenue), the delivery arrangement are considered appropriate.
However, to ensure appropriate management of potential conflicts with
adjacent residential properties, a condition limiting delivery time is
recommended. This condition is aligned with Environment Protection (Noise)
Policy 2007. This would be consistent with previous DAC decision made to
similar applications involving the redevelopment of an existing residential aged
care facility adjacent to residential properties (DA# 155/E001/14, Applicant:
Life Care Incorporated)
7.3.3 Car Parking
The proposed development will provide 44 off-street car parking spaces
(creating an additional 15 to the existing situation). Of these 44 spaces, 23 are
dedicated to staff parking and two for disabled parking (located close to the
main access point). There is an additional 16 on-street dedicated spaces for
car parking directly adjacent the facility (see figure 8), however they are not
included as part of the proposal (as located on Council land). It is reasonable
to expect these spaces could be utilised by visitors and residents of this
development.
Figure 8 – highlighted area shows the on-street parking available on Hill Street.
The Development Plan advises that community facilities should provide car
parking in accordance with ‘nursing home, rest home, or hostel - one car
parking space for every three beds in the development’. This development can
be considered akin to a nursing home (residential aged care facility) and should
have one space per three beds of the development. Based on this rate the
proposal should have at least 40 on-site car parking spaces. The proposal will
provide 44 on-site car parking spaces (not inclusive of the 16 on-street
dedicated spaces).
Additional to this, there is a requirement that at least one car parking space in
every 25 should be for the disabled and that these spaces should be
conveniently located in relation to the building entrance. The proposal has two
dedicated disable car parking space located close to the new entrance for the
development.
Therefore the provision of parking spaces within the subject land satisfactorily
meets the car parking requirements of the Development Plan.

AGENDA ITEM 3.1
7.4 Environmental Factors
7.4.1 Stormwater Management
The applicant has identified that stormwater run-off could cause potential
issues if not adequately addressed. Subsequently Combe Pearson Reynolds
Consultants were engaged to prepare a report and management plan on the
impacts of the proposed development and recommend solutions. The report
assessed the current stormwater management of the site, finished floor level
requirements, stormwater disposal requirements, on-site detention and
compared pre and post development detention requirements.
The pre-development roofed area of the site is 5540m² and the total of the
post development roofed area would be 6025m, being an increase of 525m²
roofed area across the site. The existing site has an existing detention pond in
the north-east corner of the site with a whole of site detention capacity of
110KL. This application proposes that the new buildings will be built on top on
this location containing the existing pond. To compensate for this the applicant
has provided underground pipes close to the north boundary. The existing
stormwater network/drains, along with the new buildings stormwater, will be
diverted to this located. The new stormwater storage capacity across the site
will be 120KL, an increase of 10KL to allow for the additional roofed areas.
Within the Development Plan, Council Wide section PDC37, states that
development ‘should incorporate stormwater management that directs major
stormwater flows through areas of open space designed and controlled to
prevent erosion and the likely entry of floodwaters into buildings percent’.
Along with this, ‘Development should incorporate appropriate measures to
minimise the discharge of sediment, suspended solids, organic matter,
nutrients, bacteria and litter and other contaminants to the stormwater system
and may incorporate systems for treatment or use on site’, as per PDC41
Council has raised concerns that the development falls short of its minimum
stormwater requirements and does not incorporate an appropriately designed
stormwater management plan.
The applicant has provided further clarification of how the proposal will achieve
the requirements for stormwater management of this site. These details relate
to on-site stormwater detention, overland flow paths, the discharge in the
stormwater network (restricted flow into this infrastructure) and the
management of the 5 year and 100 year ARI storm event.
The information provided by the applicant is sufficient to give confidence that
the stormwater management plan would meet Council’s requirements. It is
common practice that the final detailed design of the stormwater layout and
plan are considered after the planning consent has been granted. Accordingly,
the stormwater management of the site would be subject to a condition placed
on the consent, if given, whereby a final detailed Stormwater Management Plan
to the satisfaction of the Development Assessment Commission, in consultation
with the City of Mitcham, is prepared prior to Development Approval being
granted.
It is considered that the stormwater management plan for this proposal is
acceptable with these conditions in place.
It is noted that the Councils planning report (agenda item) to the Full Council
Meeting, (ATTACHMENT 4) that Council’s Principle Engineer – Stormwater
Development Assessment Commission
11 February 2016

AGENDA ITEM 3.1
reviewed the application and provided commentary that while the concept is
reasonable it currently lacks detail and has recommended that appropriate
conditions be attached to any approval by the DAC if supported. Similar
conditions have been recommended as part of this report.
7.4.2 Noise Emissions
As the proposal is for a commercially operated care facility adjacent to
residential development, the application needs to ensure that existing
residential land uses are not unduly impacted by noise. As important is to
ensure residents of the facility are not affected by noise as it is for adjacent
residents.
The applicant has advised that the location of all plant equipment will be on the
ground floor. The plant location is within the building’s curtilage on the
northern and eastern sides. These structures will be surrounded by acoustic
screens. No plant equipment will be placed of the roof of the proposed
development. This is to ensure the minimal disturbance and impacts to the
adjacent residential properties. It is also recommended that a condition be
placed on the delivery/service vehicle times which will also assist mitigating
potential noise impacts to a reasonable level.
A condition is recommended to ensure all noise generating plant and
equipment proposed as part of the development would be suitably attenuated
in accordance with Environment Protection Authority standards, namely section
25 of the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 dealing with fixed
domestic machine noise.
It has been concluded that the proposal would not unreasonably interfere with
the current residential amenity of the locality.
7.5 Interface and Overlooking
The existing residential aged care facility is located within the Residential
(Central Plains) Zone. This includes a two storey building in the north-eastern
location of the site. Given the second level adjacent residential properties
there is potential for overlooking and privacy concerns.
The Council Wide provisions of the Development Plan are of relevance in
respect to matters of ‘Side and Rear Property Boundary Set-backs’ are as
follows:
PDC19 Buildings should be sited with respect to property boundaries so as
to:
(a) maintain the amenity of adjoining dwellings in terms of noise,
privacy and sunlight;
(g) minimise impacts of overlooking from upper storeys of
dwellings.
Accordingly, external walls of dwellings, other than party walls, should be
set-back:
(f) two-storey buildings or the upper-storey portion of such
buildings should be set-back a minimum of eight metres from rear
property boundaries.
PDC20 Development should be designed to protect the privacy of private
open space associated with adjoining dwellings. In addition, the siting and
Development Assessment Commission
11 February 2016
21
AGENDA ITEM 3.1
design of dwellings should minimise the potential for nuisance from noise
between dwellings and noise from vehicles using a common driveway
serving more than one dwelling.
(d) if the development is greater than single-storey, it should be
designed so that no upper-storey windows or balconies directly
overlook the private open space of adjoining properties or directly
look into the windows of neighbouring dwellings. Any upper-storey
windows or balconies that directly overlook the private open space
of an adjoining property should have opaque glass, fixed shutters or
similar screening, or the sill height of such windows raised 1.7
metres above floor level to maintain privacy for adjoining residents.
Concerns have been raised, by Council and representors, about the potential
overlooking and loss of privacy to the adjoining residential properties
particularly from the northern and southern facing windows/terrace from the
upper level of the two storey buildings. To address these concerns the
applicant has provided further explanation/information and also made some
amendments to ensure minimal overlooking possible.
Given the facility is surrounded by residential properties (backyards) to the
north, east and south a summary of the potential overlooking and applicants
response is below:
South Facing
This part of the building is setback a minimum of 15m to the adjoining
residential allotment boundaries, and their backyards beyond. In response to
concerns raised by Council and representors the applicant has amended the
upper-floor windows to have a 1.75m sill height. The Development Plan
requirements for setbacks from rear of property boundary and minimum sill
height of at least 1.7m have now been met.
Figure 9 - showing southern elevation of the two story building
East Facing
This part of the building is setback 9.7m to the adjoining residential allotment
boundaries and their backyards. This part of the building has a floor to ceiling
window facing the eastern adjoining allotments. On the upper level obscured
glazing will be provided to a minimum height of 1.7m. This meets the
Development Plan requirements for setbacks from a rear property boundary
and window treatment.
Development Assessment Commission

AGENDA ITEM 3.1
Figure 10 - showing eastern elevation of the two storey building
North Facing
This part of the building is setback 24m (terrace) and 29m (windows) to the
adjoining properties and their backyards. The northern facing terrace on the
upper level of the building has a solid wall height of 1.75m to prevent
overlooking from this outdoor location. The upper-level windows do not have
minimum sill height or opaque/obscured glazing measures, however there is a
single storey building along with landscaping between the upper storey
window and allotment boundary. The applicant notes that the Development
Plan does not define direct overlooking. Instead the applicant has referenced
the ‘Good Residential Design Guide’ (Planning SA, 1999) which defines ‘direct
views’/overlooking as being within 15m from the upper level window and
measured at a 45 degree angle from the window. Given that the window is
located 29m to the adjacent allotment boundary, a single storey building is
located in-between and landscaping provisions for 2.5m high shrub planting to
screen the boundary, it is considered to met the expectations of the
Development Plan with respect to maintaining reasonable levels of amenity
and visual privacy
Figure 11 - showing cross section and northern outlook of the two storey
building
Additional to the built form mitigation measures included as part of this
proposal to prevent direct overlooking of adjoining residential properties, this
application also includes screen planting in specific locations to assist in
ensuring privacy. Existing boundary planting along the northern and south-
eastern allotments is to be retained, with additional infill shrub planting of
2.5m high to screen the boundary. Landscaping is further discussed in section
7.6.
Given the amendments provided by the applicant in response to the concerns
of the representors and Council, it is considered that the proposal meets the
requirements of the Development Plan by ensuring that no upper-level
windows or balconies directly overlook the private open space (backyards) or
look directly into a window of the adjoining residential properties around the

site. The amendment constitutes a practical and reasonable planning
response.
7.6 Landscaping
The applicant has provided a landscape plan for the proposed development.
The plan includes the following;
o retention of the existing boundary planting with additional infill shrub
planting to 2.5m high along the northern, eastern and southern
allotment boundary to assist in screening the new building
o additional tree planting adjacent to the new building
o new tree and shrub planting along the Hill Street frontage in the
location of the existing building
o tree planting located within the internal main access from Hill Street
The landscaping as proposed has due regard to satisfy PDC11 and other
Council Wide provisions that seek appropriate site planting and other
associated landscaping works.
PDC11 Landscaping of development in residential zones should:
(a) enhance residential amenity;
(b) screen storage, service and parking areas;
(c) provide protection from sun and wind; and
(d) not unreasonably affect adjacent land by shadow.
Council has not raised any concerns with the proposed level or location. The
landscaping will complement the proposed built form and assist in allowing the
building to blend into the site context and surround locality.
8. CONCLUSION
The application involves the redevelopment and expansion, including a small number of
additional beds, to the residential aged care facility at 48 Smith-Dorrien Street, Mitcham.
The redevelopment includes the demolition of two existing buildings on the site (one
facing Hill Street and the other adjacent the northern boundary of the site) and the
construction of new single and two storey buildings. These buildings contain bedrooms,
administration and residential facilities along with associated landscaping, new main
access from Hill Street with on-site parking space and fencing.
The redevelopment and expansion of an existing residential aged care facility is
supported in a general sense for the service it supplies within the local community and
located within a residential area. Similarly from a planning and design perspective, the
proposal responds well to the provisions of the Mitcham (City) Development Plan.
The proposed buildings in terms of their configuration and footprint are largely consistent
with that of the existing character of the facility. The majority of built form would not
have a visual impact on the adjacent streetscape. Concerns had been raised into
overlooking and privacy issues. These have been adequately addressed and should be
minimal impact on the adjoining residents. In regards to the technical aspects of the
proposal such as traffic management, noise attenuation and stormwater management, it
is considered that such matters have been satisfactorily addressed, or can be adequately
managed by way of conditions
I have completed an assessment against all of the relevant provision within the Mitcham
(City) Development Plan and have undertaken an inspection to the subject site and

surrounding locality. The objection raised by Council and the concerns of the adjacent
representors have been satisfactorily addressed when assessed against the Development
Plan. It is considered that the proposed development it not seriously at variance with the
development and has sufficient merit to warrant support of granting planning consent,
subject to conditions.

AGENDA ITEM 3.1
flow derived from an effective run-off coefficient of 0.25 for a 5 year ARI
event, and 0.45 in a 100 year ARI event. In addition for the 5 year ARI
event, the peak outflow from the detention system must be checked to
ensure the outflow after 90 minutes for the critical storm duration from the
detention system is not greater than the flow that would arise from a 90
minute storm based on a predevelopment catchment with a 0.25 runoff
coefficient. Should this flow be larger, then the detention volume must be
further increased to reduce the outflow to this un-detained 0.25 runoff
coefficient level. The directly connected time of concentration must be
appropriate for the development as described in “Australian Rainfall &
Runoff” Volume 1;
ii. A “Limited Out Flow” from the development must be achieved by
incorporating into the stormwater drainage design, measures for either
On-site Stormwater Retention (OSR) and/or On-Site Stormwater Detention
(OSD);
iii. The “Limited Out Flow” from the development may be discharged to either
Council infrastructure or to an area for On-Site Stormwater Retention
(OSR) within the property (landscape area, soakage trench, etc.);
iv. Stormwater that is retained on-site (OSR) by utilising landscaped areas
within the property, soakage trenches, or additional tank storage, must be
contained within the site. Stormwater resulting from a storm, up to and
including a 20 year ARI, must not flow or discharge onto land of adjoining
owners, lie against any building or create insanitary conditions; and
v. Detention tank capacity must be in addition to any proposed rainwater
storage tanks for domestic supply or On-Site Stormwater Retention
8. All stormwater design and construction shall be in accordance with Australian
Standards and recognised engineering best practices to ensure that stormwater does
not adversely affect any adjoining property or public road.
9. The landscaping shown on the plans forming part of the application shall be
established prior to the operation of the development and shall be maintained at all
times with any diseased or dying plants being replaced.
10. That the air conditioning or air extraction plant or ducting shall be screened such that
no nuisance or loss of amenity is caused to residents and users of properties in the
locality to the reasonable satisfaction of the Development Assessment Commission.
11. That all lighting of the site, including car parking areas and buildings, shall be
designed and constructed to conform with Australian Standards and must be located,
directed and shielded and of such limited intensity that no nuisance or loss of
amenity is caused to any person beyond the site.
12. An appropriate Construction Environment Management Plan (CEMP) which addresses
the mitigation or minimisation of impacts (especially from noise and dust) during the
construction phase shall be prepared and implemented. Dust generated by
machinery and vehicular movement during site works, and any open stockpiling of
soil or building materials at the site, must be suppressed to ensure that dust
generation does not become a nuisance off-site. Site development machinery should
generally not be operated outside the hours of 7 AM to 6 PM daily.
