Amended plans and supporting information were lodged 11 March, 28 April and 27 July 2020, withthe July 2020 documentation the basis of this assessment report.The application involves a departure to the floor space ratio development standard in WollongongLocal Environmental Plan 2009. Plans initially lodged were accompanied by a clause 4.6 statementaddressing the proposed FSR of 0.738:1 and were publicly exhibited. Amended plans lodged11 March 2020 increased the floor space ratio to 0.82:1, which carried through to the July 2020 plans.The July 2020 amended plans and revised clause 4.6 statement were exhibited between3- 17 September 2020.1.1 BACKGROUNDCouncil’s records indicate the land has been the subject of the following applications: DA-1980/537 ‘Factory for manufacture and distribution of electronic equipment’ – approved11 July 1980BA-1980/2456 ‘Factory and Offices’ – approved 16 September 1980PL-2019/88 Pre-lodgement meeting 24 June 2019PC-2020/645 ‘Internal renovations to existing factory/office building’ (complyingdevelopment certificate) – approved 16 June 2020The current proponent initiated pre-lodgement meeting PL-2019/88, which was held on 24 June 2019.The proposal discussed at the meeting involved an extension to the existing building on the groundlevel and construction of an upper level, which would overhang the existing car parking area. Counciladvised that the additional building area would be inconsistent with Council’s Development ControlPlan 2009 controls for development on flood-prone land.The applicant’s revised Statement of Environmental Effects dated June 2020 discusses complyingdevelopment certificate (CDC) PC-2020/645, which was issued by a private certifier. The CDC gainedapproval for alterations to the existing building concurrent to the development application. Manyaspects of the applications overlapped, in that consent was sought under the CDC for works proposedunder the development application. Council understands that an occupation certificate has not beenissued for the CDC.Customer service actionsThere are no outstanding customer service requests of relevance to the development.1.2 SITE DESCRIPTIONThe 994.2m2 site is located at 101 Auburn Street Coniston and the title reference is Lot 3 DP 336075.The site is rectangular in shape, with dimensions 13.41m front and rear and side boundaries 73.97mand 74.29m. The land is generally flat, with levels RL10.09 at the front boundary and RL 9.92 at theexisting building footprint.The land contains a two-storey factory building approved in 1980. The proponent Ericom currentlyoccupies the building. Recent alterations and additions have been carried out by Ericom under acomplying development certificate.The locality is characterised by a mix of business and industrial premises. Adjoining development is asfollows: North: Single storey industrial buildings (x 3)East: Wollongong CemeterySouth: two storey brick industrial building built to the common boundaryProperty constraintsCouncil records identify the land as being impacted by the following constraints:Page 3 of 18

Contamination: the land previously contained an underground storage tank, which was removedin 2018. The applicant has provided a clearance certificate and validation report certifying thatthe land is suitable for the proposed use.Acid sulfate soils: No earthworks are proposed, and no concerns are raised in this regard.Flooding: The site is identified as being located within a medium and high flood risk precinct.Council’s Stormwater Engineer has reviewed the proposal and has recommended conditions ofconsent, which are contained in Attachment 5.There are no restrictions on the title.1.3 SUBMISSIONSThe application was notified, in accordance with WDCP 2009 Appendix 1: Public Notification andAdvertising, on two occasions. The first exhibition period was between 13 December 2019-21 January2020. The second exhibition period was held between 3-17 September 2020 and was for the purposeof notifying the amended plans, which increased the floor space ratio to 08.2:1. No submissions werereceived.1.4 CONSULTATION1.4.1 INTERNAL CONSULTATIONStormwater EngineerCouncil’s stormwater engineer has reviewed the application including supporting flood study anddrainage plan. They recommended conditions of consent which are included in Attachment 5.Landscape OfficerCouncil’s Landscape officer has reviewed the application and recommended changes to the speciesselection and car parking layout. They note that WDCP 2009 requires one canopy shade tree for thefifteen parking spaces proposed, where none is provided. The applicant has responded by requestingthat no shade tree is provided, in favour of retaining the proposed fifteen parking spaces.Council’s officer also recommended the side landscape strip be relocated from north to south, to allowgreater sunlight to the plantings. The applicant advised this would adversely impact on manoeuvringand access to the site and requested the existing northern landscape strip remain in place.A landscape plan by Mark Spence Environmental and Landscape Services was provided at lodgementand then revised. Council’s officer was critical of the proposed species selection as shown on thelandscape plans, and the plan is not supported. It is recommended that more suitable species bechosen, and therefore a condition of consent requiring a revised landscape plan to be prepared isincluded in Attachment 5.The current site plan G-100 now refers to ‘planting to be confirmed by owner’.Traffic EngineerCouncil’s Traffic engineer has reviewed the application and advised they have no objection, subject torecommended conditions of consent. These are contained in Attachment 5.They note the minimum required parking spaces for the proposed development would be ten, basedon WDCP 2009 rates for industry being 1 space per 75m2 of gross floor area. The applicant proposesfifteen spaces.Environment OfficerCouncil’s Environment Officer has reviewed the application and supporting documents regardingremoval of an underground storage tank. Council’s officer recommended a condition of consentregarding soil waste classification, which is included in Attachment 5.Page 4 of 18

Theseare defined:high technology industry means a building or place predominantly used to carry out an industrialactivity that involves any of the following—(a) electronic or micro-electronic systems, goods or components,(b) information technology (such as computer software or hardware),(c) Instrumentation or instruments of a scientific, industrial, technological, medical or similarnature,(d) biological, pharmaceutical, medical or paramedical systems, goods or components,(e) film, television or multi-media technologies, including any post production systems, goodsor components,(f)telecommunications systems, goods or components,(g) sustainable energy technologies,(h) any other goods, systems or components intended for use in a science or technology relatedfield,Page 6 of 18

but does not include a building or place used to carry out an industrial activity that presents ahazard or potential hazard to the neighbourhood or that, because of the scale and nature of theprocesses involved, interferes with the amenity of the neighbourhood.Note. High technology industries are a type of light industry—see the definition of that term inthis Dictionary.light industry means a building or place used to carry out an industrial activity that does notinterfere with the amenity of the neighbourhood by reason of noise, vibration, smell, fumes,smoke, vapour, steam, soot, ash, dust, waste water, waste products, grit or oil, or otherwise, andincludes any of the following—(a) high technology industry,(b) home industry,(c) artisan food and drink industry.Note. Light industries are a type of industry—see the definition of that term in this Dictionary.The proponent is a telecommunications and information technology software provider, which isconsistent with this definition.Clause 1.8A Savings provision relating to pending development approvalsNot applicable.Part 2 Permitted or prohibited developmentClause 2.2 – zoning of land to which Plan appliesThe zoning map identifies the land as being zoned IN1 General Industrial.Clause 2.3 – Zone objectives and land use tableThe objectives of the zone are as follows:Zone IN1 General Industrial1 Objectives of zone To provide a wide range of industrial and warehouse land uses.To encourage employment opportunities.To minimise any adverse effect of industry on other land uses.To support and protect industrial land for industrial uses.To facilitate and encourage appropriate forms of industrial development which will contributeto the economic and employment growth of Wollongong.To allow some diversity of activities that will not—(a) significantly detract from the operation of existing or proposed manufacturing and serviceindustries, or(b) significantly detract from the amenity of nearby residents, or(c) adversely impact upon the efficient operation of the surrounding road system.The proposal is satisfactory with regard to the above objectives.The land use table permits the following uses in the zone.2 Permitted without consentBuilding identification signs; Business identification signs3 Permitted with consentAdvertising structures; Community facilities; Crematoria; Depots; Freight transport facilities;Garden centres; General industries; Hardware and building supplies; Heavy industries;Page 7 of 18

The existing height is approximately 6.8m. The developmentincludes a new third storey, with a proposed building height of 10.94m.Clause 4.4 Floor space ratioThe maximum permitted floor space ratio is 0.5:1. The existing floor space ratio is 0.46:1 (443m2).The proposed floor space ratio is 0.82:1 (820.2m2), which is a non-compliance with a developmentstandard. The exceedance is addressed by the applicant in a development standard departure requestwhich forms Attachment 4.Clause 4.6 Exceptions to development standardsThe development proposes floor space ratio which is greater than the maximum permitted by clause4.4. The proposed floor space ratio is considered acceptable in the circumstances, despite it exceedingthe maximum.WLEP 2009 clause 4.6 proposed development departure assessmentDevelopment departureClause 4.4, floor space ratio.Is the planning control in question a Yesdevelopment standard?4.6 (3) Written request submitted by applicant contains a justification:(a)that compliance with theA satisfactory clause 4.6 variation has been submitted.development standard is unreasonableor unnecessary in the circumstances ofthe case, and(b)that there are sufficient Yesenvironmental planning grounds tojustify contravening the developmentstandard.(a)the consent authority is satisfied that—(i)the applicant’s written requestThe applicant’s written request seeks to justify thathas adequately addressed the matterscompliance with the development standard isrequired to be demonstrated byunreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances ofsubclause (3), andthe case based on the following rationale: The additional floor space is located within theexisting footprint of the building; There is an excess of parking;Page 8 of 18

Numerous other sites in the vicinity exceed 0.5:1floor space ratio;Restricting the floor space is impractical andunreasonable;No significant adverse impacts as a result of thefloor space ratio;Flooding limitations of WDCP 2009 preventoccupancy of the ground floor and thereforepersonnel must be accommodated on higherfloors;Proposed bulk and scale is appropriate for thislocation; andProvides ongoing employment and activationPage 9 of 18

(ii)the proposed development willbe in the public interest because it isconsistent with the objectives of theparticular standard and the objectivesfor development within the zone inwhich the development is proposed tobe carried out, andDespite the proposed floor space ratio exceeding themaximum permitted, the development is considered inthe public interest. The objectives of the standard are:(a) to provide an appropriate correlation between thesize of a site and the extent of any development on thatsite,(b) to establish the maximum development density andintensity of land use, taking into account the availabilityof infrastructure to service that site and the vehicle andpedestrian traffic the development will generate,(c) to ensure buildings are compatible with the bulk andscale of the locality.The proposed development is for alterations andextensions to a 1980s factory building, which enlargesthe second floor and creates a new third floor. Theinternal layout is typical of a modern high technologycompany, with works stations, amenities andconference room areas. The third storey is set back fromthe lower building edges and is of darker externalmaterials which minimise the visual impact of the newfloor. The building does not exceed the permitted heightlimit. The existing deep front setback is retained, withthe building located on the far rear end of the site. Theexisting building is built to the side boundaries, and thiswould be maintained. The new floor area is notexpected to dominate the streetscape or be readilyperceived as larger than many others in the immediatesurroundings. The development proposes car parking inexcess of Council’s WDCP 2009 requirements.The objectives of the IN1 General Industrial Zone includeencouraging employment, minimising adverse effect ofindustry on other land and facilitating economicdevelopment. The proposed alterations and additionsand change of use is consistent with these objectives.The development will remain consistent with theobjectives of the zone despite the non-compliance withClause 4.4.It is considered that in this instance there are sufficientenvironmental planning grounds specific to the site tojustify contravening the development standard(b)theconcurrence ofSecretary has been obtained.the Concurrence is not required as the WLPP is thedetermining authority.Part 5 Miscellaneous provisionsClause 5.10 Heritage conservationThe site adjoins Wollongong Cemetery, which is located to the east. Several headstones and gravesare located near the common boundary.Page 10 of 18

Consideration has been given to both potential physical impacts upon graves and also the visualimpact of the new third level, when viewed from within the cemetery. No significant overshadowingof graves is expected. No excavation or demolition at ground level on the Cemetery boundary isproposed. The proposed height would not dominate the skyline in this location, and taller buildingssit behind.The proposed development is not expected to adversely impact the heritage significance of theCemetery.Conditions of consent are recommended regarding construction and internal demolition.Part 7 Local provisions – generalClause 7.1 Public utility infrastructureThe development is already serviced by electricity, water and sewage services. It is recommended thata condition of consent is applied requiring approval from utility providers for the connection ofelectricity, water and sewage to service the site.Clause 7.3 Flood planning areaThe site is flood affected (medium and high risk precinct). The application as initially lodged was foralterations and additions to ground and Level 1, extending Level 1 over the car parking area. This wasnot supported by Council’s stormwater engineer due to the requirements of WDCP 2009. The designwas then revised to recess Level 1 to the existing building front and add Level 2. Council’s engineerhas advised is satisfactory and has recommended conditions of consent, which are included inAttachment 5.Clause 7.5 Acid Sulfate SoilsThe proposal is identified as being affected by class 5 acid sulfate soils. An acid sulfate soilsmanagement plan is not required.2.2 SECTION 4.15(1)(A)(II) ANY PROPOSED INSTRUMENTNone relevant.2.3 SECTION 4.15(1)(A)(III) ANY DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN2.3.1 WOLLONGONG DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN 2009CHAPTER A1 – INTRODUCTION8 Variations to development controls in the DCPThe development proposes less landscaped area than required by Chapter E6, specifically:9 Landscaping requirementsA minimum 10% of the site area is required to be landscaped. The majority of suchlandscaping should be provided within the front property building line setback area and theside property boundaries.Where an existing site has less than 10% landscaping for the total site area, Council will seekto achieve the provision of 10% landscaping on any unused portion of the land or withinsurplus car parking areas.Trees are to be planted at a rate of 1 tree per 10 car spaces. Tree species shall be selected topprovide at least a 4 - 6 metre canopy spread at maturity. A minimum 1.5 metre widelandscape strip is required to be provided after every fifth parking space. Trees shall be aminimum 100 Litre size and shall be planted in minimum two (2) cubic metres of plantingPage 11 of 18

medium. Trees are to be protected by the use of such devices as bollards, kerbs and/or treeguards.It is not considered feasible to increase side landscaping strips in order to increase overall landscapedarea (6.2% provided where 10% required), given the layout of the car park. However, a canopy treecould readily be provided if one car parking space were to be deleted. This is considered reasonableas the development proposes surplus parking spaces.CHAPTER A2 – ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTDevelopment controls to improve the sustainability of development throughout Wollongong areintegrated into the relevant chapters of this DCP.CHAPTER B5 INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTControl/objectiveComment3 Factory / warehouse distribution centre No change to existing front setbacksbuilding design requirements4 Building design / façade treatmentCompliesYesTheproposedalterationsprovide Yesarticulation, are of durable materials and donot exceed glazing limits.9 Landscaping requirementsA minimum 10% of the site area is requiredto be landscaped.
