implemented. It is considered that these measures would meet some <strong>of</strong> the management objectives
<strong>of</strong> Category 3 and are not likely <strong>to</strong> negatively impact any future management <strong>of</strong> the Category 3
watercourse located west <strong>of</strong> Kings Avenue.
Overall, the watercourse in the Nola Road drain provides minimal habitat for a small num<strong>be</strong>r <strong>of</strong>
common native species. Any potential impacts on this habitat are not likely <strong>to</strong> impact significantly
upon any native aquatic or terrestrial flora and/or fauna.
Impact on flora and fauna
This is addressed by Council’s Landscape Development Officer, Robyn Askew, who raised no
concerns on these grounds.
Whilst a few trees typical <strong>of</strong> the Blue Gum High Forest (BGHF) are present on the site, the
vegetation does not possess a natural bushland structure and does not constitute a BGHF
community.
No evidence <strong>of</strong> any threatened fauna species was recorded in the Flora and Fauna Assessment
prepared by Gunninah Environmental Consultants. The study undertaken by Eco Logical Australia
Pty Ltd also found that the water course does not contain any natural vegetation communities and
would not provide important habitat for any threatened species populations or communities listed
under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. Some highly mobile threatened birds or bats
may visit the site on a transi<strong>to</strong>ry basis but given the lack <strong>of</strong> suitable habitat, it is considered that the
proposed development in 8-12 Nola Road would not impact these species. (A copy <strong>of</strong> this study is
attached <strong>to</strong> this report.)
Given the already modified nature <strong>of</strong> the subject site and its urban context, the proposed
development will not impose significant adverse impacts upon the natural environment at this
location.
Electricity supply is inadequate
The application was referred <strong>to</strong> Energy Australia who raised no objections. A condition is
recommended requiring the applicant <strong>to</strong> liaise with Energy Australia regarding their power supply
requirements and <strong>to</strong> allocate space for a small ‘kiosk’ type substation. These requirements must <strong>be</strong>
obtained prior <strong>to</strong> Construction Certificate issue and compliance prior <strong>to</strong> the issue <strong>of</strong> the Occupation
Certificate (See Condition No 64).
Noise from exhaust fans, air-conditioning and entrance gate
A condition is recommended that requires an acoustic report <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> prepared by a suitably qualified
person detailing the devices <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> fitted, and ongoing maintenance required, in relation <strong>to</strong> the
au<strong>to</strong>matic gate <strong>of</strong> the garage, air-conditioning, and car park ventilation system <strong>to</strong> ensure their
operation does not result in the emission <strong>of</strong> noise in excess <strong>of</strong> 5dB(A) above background measured
at the nearest residential property boundary. The report is <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> provided for approval with the
Construction Certificate.
