8, 10 & 12 Nola Road, Roseville
Item 1

17 June 2005
Part 4.8 Resource, energy and water efficiency:
DCP55 requires 90% <strong>of</strong> units <strong>to</strong> meet with the NatHERS rating <strong>of</strong> 4.5 stars and above. The
environmental performance <strong>of</strong> the development is acceptable considering the awkward orientation
<strong>of</strong> the site. The proposal has, through careful building orientation, stepping <strong>of</strong> the building and by
limiting building depth, achieved a good climatic responsive outcome. All units achieve a
NatHERS rating <strong>of</strong> 3.5 stars. More than 85% <strong>of</strong> the units achieve 4 stars or above.
Given that all <strong>of</strong> the apartments are provided with at least 3 hours <strong>of</strong> sunlight and that the majority
will have at least two aspects with good cross ventilation, the NatHERS non-compliance is
acceptable.
Specific Controls for Nominated Areas: Part 7.1 Nola Road Precinct
Desired future character and design objectives:
The proposal provides for 50.2% <strong>of</strong> the site <strong>be</strong>ing a deep soil zone which is compliant with the
minimum requirement <strong>of</strong> 50%. This zone is primarily common land and provided <strong>to</strong> the rear <strong>of</strong> the
building where its ability <strong>to</strong> accommodate large canopy trees will not <strong>be</strong> restricted in the future. All
<strong>of</strong> the existing significant trees are retained, while the type <strong>of</strong> landscaping proposed is consistent
with the desired future character <strong>of</strong> the area, which seeks continuation <strong>of</strong> the indigenous Blue Gum
Forest <strong>to</strong> s<strong>of</strong>ten the buildings and contribute <strong>to</strong> the streetscape.
The proposal incorporates a natural palette <strong>of</strong> materials, including sands<strong>to</strong>ne, tim<strong>be</strong>r and brick that
is consistent with that <strong>of</strong> surrounding buildings and responds sensitively <strong>to</strong> the natural environment.
The development is set back in excess <strong>of</strong> 15 metres from the centre-line <strong>of</strong> Blue Gum Creek.

The preferred lot amalgamation as has <strong>be</strong>en achieved as per the lot amalgamation pattern suggested
for the area shown in Diagram No. 3 <strong>be</strong>low.
