Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary Report1 Amendment NoteThe Moonee Valley Racecourse Redevelopment ESD Opportunities SummaryReport was amended in May 2013 on request by Charter Keck Cramer to supporta pending Advisory Committee information provision.The review specifically amended Section 6 Environmental Rating Tools to reflectprogress in the period from the original issue of the report (December 2010), tothe current date.No other items in the report such as example projects have been adjusted.1 BackgroundCharter Keck Cramer is currently engaged by the Moonee Valley Racing Club(MVRC) to coordinate the preparation of a strategy and master plan for thedevelopment of the Moonee Valley Racecourse.At present, this involves concluding an approach that satisfies the financialrequirements of the MVRC and is acceptable to both the Moonee Valley CityCouncil (MVCC) and community as a guide to future development as part of theActivity Centre Zone.Within this context Arup was engaged to complete an ESD (or Sustainability)Report the purpose of which is two-fold:To inform MVRC of future potential sustainability-related options for theracecourse, andTo support the incorporation of ESD considerations into the master plan toaddress Council and community interests.Report Outcomes SummaryThe Moonee Valley Racecourse ESD Opportunities Report is a high level study intopotential sustainability solutions for the racecourse precinct which the project teammay consider for inclusion in the Moonee Valley Racecourse master plan.As the master plan is at an early stage, it is recognized that the feasibility of thepotential solutions will require further analysis prior to being incorporated into lateriterations or ultimate implementation.Fourteen distinct sustainability solutions have been identified across the four themesof energy, water, transport and waste as having the potential to be further consideredon technical, commercial/financial and environmental/social grounds.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 1

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary Report2 Objectives and Methodology2.1 ObjectivesThe broad project objectives were to:Develop an understanding of the sustainability opportunities associated withthe MVRC site that may be further considered in the context of the emergingmaster plan (and potentially in later project stages).To develop a series of ‘themes’ for the focus areas of energy, water, transportand waste to guide sustainability considerations through various iterations ofthe master plan process.To identify a series of ESD Rating Tools which may be applied to the masterplan at later project stages, andTo identify a series of ESD initiative examples in similar master plan projects.2.2 Project MethodologyAs per the project brief, Arup undertook the project utilising a simple approachand methodology, broadly consisting of two parts:Part 1 - ESD OpportunitiesA process to identify and explore the ESD opportunities for the site, through twoworkshops:1. An Arup project team workshop to commence the identification of theESD opportunities across the themes of energy, water, transport and waste.2. A client sustainability workshop (facilitated by the Arup project team) tofurther identify and explore ESD initiatives for the precinct.Part 2 – Environmental Sustainability ‘Themes’A process whereby the Arup project team collated the opportunities and initiativesexplored in the internal and external workshops to develop broad sustainability‘themes’ for the master plan.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 2

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary Report3 ESD Workshops – Internal and Client3.1 Arup Internal Project Team WorkshopAs indicated in Section 2, prior to a workshop with the MVRC client, Council andother stakeholders, the Arup technical specialists held a 2 hour internal workshopto discuss the racecourse context and inform the identification of ESDopportunities across the themes of energy, water, transport and waste.Each solution was discussed and assessed utilising a basic rating system acrosscriteria – 0 being a low score, and 3 being a high score.The results of the discussion are in the tables in Appendix B.The discussion allowed the project team to approach the subsequent clientworkshop with a more developed idea of the potential solutions to which theparticipants may respond.3.2 Client WorkshopOn 24 November 2010, Arup facilitated a 2 hour ESD workshop hosted at theMoonee Valley Racecourse.The purpose of the workshop was:To gain a collective understanding of the sustainability drivers of keyindividuals from MVRC, Council and the master plan team.To gain an understanding of the collective sustainability priorities of the sameset of stakeholders across the themes of energy, water, transport and waste,andTo undertake a high-level discussion of the opportunities, constraints,benefits and risks associated with potential ESD solutions for the site.The more ‘qualitative’ objective of the workshop was for the various design,Council and client stakeholders to commence the sharing of sustainabilityopinions and ideas for the site.The workshop participants are detailed in the table below.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 3

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary Report3.3 Sustainability Drivers and PrioritiesAs indicated above, through a process of discussion and recording, the projectstakeholders were encouraged to detail their personal sustainability drivers andpriorities for the master plan. This process was undertaken in 4 groups (3-4participants each) and facilitated by the Arup technical specialists utilising theArup Sustainability Mapping Tool to capture information.Figure 1 Arup Sustainability Mapping ToolDuring a free-ranging discussion, a number of sustainability drivers and prioritieswere identified across the 4 sustainability focus areas as detailed in the tablebelow.Although not a definitive list, the exercise enabled the stakeholder participants toelicit their thoughts regarding sustainability solutions as a precursor to the nextstage of discussion.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 5

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary ReportSustainability PrioritiesAt the conclusion of the exercise, the 12 (non-Arup) participants were asked toindicate their personal sustainability priorities. Each participant allocated three‘votes’ across the four themes - waste, water, energy and transport – in anyfashion or weighting they wished.The results (including participant initials for each vote) are presented in Table 3.Table 3 Prioritisation of Sustainability IssuesWater 20% Energy 33%BM BM DK CW MB RP SDL SDV SDL OH OH CH LD HFTransport 39% Waste 8%CW SG MB BM RPSDV SDV SDL SG SG HF MB LD HF CHDK DK OH CH LD RP CWThe spread of votes clearly indicates that:The participants collectively believe that issues of Transport and Energyare a relatively high priority for the master plan process, andIssues of Waste are a relatively low priority.Particular points to note are:2 of the 3 votes for Waste to be treated as a priority were from the Councilattendees. This potentially indicates a more general waste-orientedapproach from the MVCC which the MVRC may have to address morecomprehensively at a later date.Conversely, the MVRC representatives did not view issues of Waste as apriority (no votes), but viewed issues of Water as the most importantsustainability issue for the master plan, andThe master plan consultant team was particularly focused on issues ofTransport. Waste was a relatively low priority amongst the master planconsultant team.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 7

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary Report4 ESD SolutionsFollowing the drivers and priorities exercise, the participants were allocatedacross four tables where a topic-specific discussion was facilitated by an Aruptechnical specialist for each of the four sustainability focus areas.The discussion was specifically structured around the consideration ofopportunities, constraints, benefits and risks.The process allowed the Arup specialists to gain a clearer understanding of thepotential sustainability solutions which are suitable for the precinct; sharpeningthe focus from a full set of energy, water, transport and waste options identified ininitial discussions (as per Appendix B), to a sub-set of potential solutions asoutlined in more detail below.The following four sections provide high level information on potentiallyfeasible solutions which may be considered in the master plan process;describing the solution and then (where possible) discussing thetechnical, commercial/financial and environmental/social aspects.Finally, a basic set of Next Steps are provided for the master plan team toconsider.4.1 EnergyDuring the initial process of considering energy solutions for the site, the Arupproject team considered a series of potential options including:Cogeneration / tri-generationSolar PVSolar hot waterWind, andPassive design.Details of the initial assessment are provided in Appendix B1.After the subsequent client workshop, it was decided to focus the analysis furtheron the solutions detailed in the boxes below.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 8

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary ReportCogeneration / Tri-generationDescriptionCogeneration, also known as Combined Heat andPower (CHP), is the simultaneous production ofelectricity and heating generally through the use ofsteam and hot water. Generally, the fuel used isnatural gas, and the system comprises of a generatorand heat and electrical connections.Tri-generation is a system which also includes theproduction of cooling by adding an absorptionchiller.Cogeneration and tri-generation can be installedwithin a large building like the racing clubgrandstand, or multiple cogeneration and tri-generation systems may also be installed toprovide a precinct-wide energy supply solution. District heating and cooling networks areimplemented to reticulate heating and cooling throughout precinct.TechnicalGenerally for cogeneration and tri-generation, a flat load profile (constant energy-usethroughout the day) will allow the system to run more efficiently. It is widely accepted that fora system to be feasible, the system should be designed to operate at maximum load duringpeak hours (7am to 11pm) for every weekday, equivalent to 4,000 hours per year. For trigenerationspecifically, the system is particularly efficient when thermal demand in winter isaccompanied by cooling demand in summer as in Victoria.For MVRC, the constant use of the grandstand and racing club facilities, integrated with apotential mixed use (residential and commercial) development, indicates the strong potentialfor a cogeneration or tri-generation energy solution.Commercial / FinancialThe initial capital cost to implement a cogeneration or tri-generation system is significantrequiring additional precinct infrastructure such as district heating and cooling network pipesand service galleries in addition to the actual unit. Despite this cost it should be noted thatcogeneration or tri-generation can be installed in stages; a potentially suitable approach to suitthe staged build-out profile at the MVRC.A cogeneration or tri-generation plant will also need to be serviced and maintained therebyincurring ongoing operating costs.Such a system will take considerable time and resources to build, own and operate andtherefore an opportunity exists for the MVRC or another third party entity to manage such asystem and earn an income stream.There is also the potential that those residents and businesses within the newly master plannedprecinct will be able to enjoy lower energy prices.Environmental / SocialAs a cogeneration or tri-generation system utilises gas as its primary fuel, the associatedgreenhouse gas emissions are much lower than traditional grid electricity which utilises browncoal. In addition, such a system is more efficient due to the reuse of waste heat.Making such a low emission energy generation option one of the key points of the emergingmaster plan, provides qualitative outcomes for the community who reside and work within a‘green energy’ precinct.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 9

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary ReportNext StepsThe master plan may include allowances for the space and infrastructure associated with sucha system.If such an energy solution is to be considered after the master plan process, the MVRC mayconsider: The development of a detailed energy profile associated with the planned futuredevelopment including the grandstand, residences, and businesses including the potentialfor export. A business case which assesses elements such as CAPEX, OPEX, potential ownershipmodels, cash flows, carbon prices, utility prices and financial measures such as paybackperiods and RoI.Solar Photovoltaics / Solar Hot WaterDescriptionSolar photovoltaics (PV) and solar hot water arepanel systems that convert solar energy into usableelectricity and heat, respectively.Solar PV cells are usually made of crystalline oramorphous (thin film) and can be mounted ontobuildings as arrays an opportunities exist for PVpanels to be mounted to the roofs of residentialhousing or facilities such as the grandstand.Solar hot water systems use evacuated solar tubes orflat plate solar panels and are generally installedwith a gas or electric booster. By pre-heatingdomestic hot water before reaching the gas or electric booster, on-going energy savings maybe realised.TechnicalSolar PV is a commonly used and proven technology however the technology must beoptimised for the specific site and conditions. For example, electricity generation capabilitydepends on orientation, where the optimal operation is when the array faces north, tilted at anangle equal to the site latitude minus 10 degrees (37.5°-10° for Melbourne), with good accessto sunlight. Similar principles apply for solar hot water systems.It should be noted that solar PV and solar hot water systems will only reduce the need for gridenergy supply and not provide the full energy supply required for the site. Additionally, solarhot water systems may soon become a legislative requirement for any new residentialbuildings.Solar PV may be particularly suitable for the grandstand or racing club facilities; takingadvantage of the available space and orientation as determined through the master planprocess.Commercial / FinancialGenerally, capital costs are comparatively high for solar PV panels and solar hot water unitshowever, government rebates can lower this initial cost.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 10

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary ReportThere are opportunities for solar PV to connect to the national grid. Under a feed-in tariff,commercial returns can be made in the form of energy cost savings as grid electricity pricescontinue to become relatively more expensive, or renewable energy certificates. MVRC canalso charge a premium to properties for this benefit.For the home owner, commercial returns are made in the form of energy savings. Energy canbe generated in relatively large volumes leading to short payback periods.Environmental / SocialSolar PV and solar hot water systems are a source of renewable energy and emissions fromtheir operation are effectively zero. However, it should be noted that the embodied energy ofsolar PV is high due to manufacturing process which utilises silicon material, fossil fuels usedfor extraction, and lead based batteries for energy storage.Both systems are a visible sign of sustainability; readily identifiable to the public andsupporting the ‘green’ credentials of the precinct.Next StepsSimilar to the next steps for cogeneration and/or tri-generation, the master plan may includeallowances for Solar PV and solar hot water systems.If such an energy solution is to be considered after the master plan process, the MVRC mayconsider: The development of a detailed energy profile associated with the planned futuredevelopment including the grandstand, residences, and businesses including the potentialfor export. A business case which assesses elements such as CAPEX, OPEX, cash flows, carbonprices, utility prices and financial measures such as payback periods and RoI.Passive Solar DesignDescriptionThe consideration of passive solar design associatedwith the built form during the master plan stage willallow the project team and/or developer to maximiseenergy efficiency, reduce energy demand (andassociated operating costs) and maintain thermalcomfort.TechnicalPassive design may be in the form of solar orientation,shading, passive heating and cooling, and somebuilding retrofits. Building orientation and design can increase passive ventilation and manageappropriate internal light levels, both which reduce energy consumption associated with airconditioning demand and artificial lights.Commercial / FinancialTo take advantage of passive design opportunities on the site, investment has to be made tofully consider building design and infrastructure to maximise energy efficiency, solar heatgains and/or ventilation. Ongoing investment is minimal.Potential financial returns come from reduced energy costs and the marketing value of the‘green’ credentials of the precinct.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 11

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary ReportEnvironmental / SocialPassive design reduces energy demand and therefore has fewer associated greenhouse gasemissions.Passive design can be a ready indicator of the site’s commitment to sustainability althoughsuch is the subtlety of such measures, the general public may not be aware of specific passivedesign initiatives.Next StepsThere is the opportunity for the project team to achieve considerable energy efficiencybenefits during the master plan process by considering passive solar design through theorientation of buildings and roofs to maximise solar access and natural ventilation.The project team may consider undertaking a solar modelling exercise in parallel with thevarious master plan options to inform the final design.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 12

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary Report4.2 WaterDuring the process of considering water solutions for the site, the Arup teamconsidered a series of potential options including:Expansion of existing stormwater harvesting scheme including theprovision of third pipe supply to new and redeveloped facilities.Mandating of water efficient fixtures, fitting and appliance to a minimumof 6 star water efficiency.Rainwater tanks for laundry use, andSewer mining from Melbourne water asset in Tullamarine freewayreserve.Details of the initial assessment are provided in Appendix B2.After the subsequent client workshop, it was decided to focus the analysis furtheron the solutions detailed in the boxes below.Expansion of Existing Stormwater HarvestingDescriptionThe realignment of the track requires the relocation of atleast part of the existing storage dam on-site. Additionallythe construction and redevelopment of new residential,commercial and grand stand facilities provides significantopportunity to provide an alternative water source for avariety of uses via a dedicated third pipe.Such uses may potentially include: Expansion of the storage volume to improve yield andreliability. Augmentation of supply through redirection of existing stormwater harvesting assets. Construction of multiple storages capable of providing passive treatment and preventingcontamination of stored water. Incorporation of native plantings for amenity and biodiversity purposes. Incorporation of the water storage/s into the fabric of the racecourse for aestheticpurposes. Supporting downstream water quality improvements for Moonee Ponds Creek. Significant reduction in the site’s dependence on potable water. Cost savings by off-setting potable water costs. Gifting of additional water to nearby community facilities such as school ovals and parks.TechnicalThis option highly feasible. As the dam needs to be relocated during the track realignment, amore substantial dam may be constructed during earth works (subject to ground conditions).221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 13

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary ReportDepending on the location of other stormwater assets there is the potential to direct stormwaterto the dam to increase yield, treatment and reliability. Unused overflow may potentially betreated to improve outcomes for Moonee Ponds Creek.The installation of third pipe infrastructure in new and redeveloped facilities is bestundertaken during construction. Water from the scheme is Class B and it appears thatadditional treatment of the water yield could be undertaken to ensure Class A water isprovided for wash down and toilet flushing.Commercial / FinancialThe cost of water from the current system is estimated at $0.42 a kilolitre compared toapproximately $1.10 a kilolitre for potable water making any expansion of the storm waterharvesting options commercially attractive due to the offset of potable water costs.Environmental / SocialSocial and environmental benefits include: Reduced potable water usage. Drought proofing community facilities associated with the precinct. More affordable water options for resident and community groups. Improved amenity. Improved water quality outcomes for Moonee Ponds Creek.Next StepsTo further consider the expansion of the storm water harvesting possibilities for the site, it isrecommended that the water demand and supply system for the site be remodelled to observethe potential to increase storage in balance with increased site demands. This may be donewith strong reference to the previous and current work by MVRC in this area.Regarding demand, this process may include water demand associated with toilet flushing,wash down, cooling towers, and the irrigation demands associated with the new track layoutand landscaping. External site demands may also be considered.Regarding supply, this may include the development of stormwater asset maps to determine ifcurrent supply can be supplemented and supply volumes remodelled.Treatment requirements and opportunities to export water should also be investigated andcosts determined.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 14

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary ReportMandating Water Efficient Fittings, Fixtures and AppliancesDescriptionMandating water efficient fittings, fixtures andappliances in all new and redeveloped facilitiescan be specified during the master plan phase.Six star fittings are currently the highestavailable under the Water Efficiency Labellingand Standards (WELS) Scheme.TechnicalWater efficient fixtures and fittings such astoilets, irrigation devices, showerheads and tapfittings are proven, independently tested, lowcost technologies.Commercial / FinancialThe use of water efficient devices can reduce the size of required supporting infrastructureincluding hot water systems, pipes, sewer upgrades, pumps and header tanks resulting insignificant cost savings for the developer.Residential properties fitted with ‘premium’ appliances andfittings can attract higher prices.The incorporation of such devices will also assist with anycertification of the buildings under existing rating schemes fromorganizations such as the Green Building Council of Australia.Environmental / SocialReduced potable water consumption and reduced energy useassociated with water heating due to reduced electricity bills.Next StepsDetermine which fittings, fixtures and appliances can bemandated as water efficient and the appropriate star rating.Information of ratings and products is available atwww.waterrating.gov.au.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 15

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary Report4.3 TransportDuring the process of considering transport solutions for the site, the Arup teamconsidered a series of potential options including:Pedestrian links and amenityBicycle parkingBicycle connectivityCar shareReduced car parking rates, andElectric car readyDetails of the initial assessment are provided in Appendix B3.In particular the master plan stakeholders should consider improvements inpedestrian/ bicycle accessibility together with an integrated consideration of anintegrated car and bicycle parking strategy and links to public transport.After the subsequent client workshop, it was decided to focus the analysis furtheron the solutions detailed in the boxes below.Pedestrian Links and AmenityDescriptionProvide a permeable precinct that allows the shortestpaths for pedestrians, and direct links to publictransport opportunities and local facilities includingschools.Outline a strategy that includes supportive andattractive amenity such as shade, seating, path widthsand passive surveillance.TechnicalSuch an initiative is achievable, requiring considerationof the orientation of development to allow greater permeability, particularly to the south of theprecinctCommercial / FinancialGreater pedestrian links and amenity are associated with reduced levels of car parking with thespace saved potentially being diverted into a greater volume of units.Combined with more affordable, accessible public transport choices, enhanced pedestrianpermeability can support car ownership reductions, more affordable living, and the precinct’s‘green’ credentials.Environmental / SocialCommunities within precincts with greater pedestrian amenity have a greater propensity toutilise public transport. Such a mode shift supports a reduction in greenhouse gas emissionsfrom car traffic and also supports a reduction in traffic congestion.Enhanced pedestrian amenity encourages greater community interaction, public congregationsat public transport nodes, and encourages passive neighbourhood surveillance.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 16

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary ReportNext StepsThe master plan should consider: Improvements required to street permeability to support direct links especially tosurrounding tram stops and bus stops at Dean Street and McNae Street. Improved connection with and along Alexandra Avenue towards the Moonee PondsActivity Centre. This will require liaison with Council. Shade/shelter (built form or trees) and seating. Good visual connections are provided between the development and the street includingadjacent existing streets. A mapping exercise will ensure that areas with poorsurveillance are minimised.Bicycle ParkingDescriptionProvide secure and convenient residential bicycle parkingthat supports bicycle ownership and use.TechnicalSecure facilities would preferably be located at streetlevel to activate the street environment.Facilities need to be accessible, visible and user friendlyfor all ages and abilities.The success of bicycle facilities is often also influencedby appropriate bicycle connections.Commercial / FinancialReduced car parking requirements create more available space within a precinct. Such spacemay then be utilised for a greater volume of residences.Improved bicycle amenity will be a strong point of sustainability differentiation for theprecinct’s marketing strategy.Environmental / SocialThe provision of bicycle infrastructure supports cycling as a mode choice; enabling healthyliving choices for the community and general liveability within the precinct.Provision of bicycle infrastructure for the precinct enhances the amount of space withinindividual residences and businesses as bicycles do not need to be stored internally.Next StepsFor appropriate bicycle parking to be integrated into the master plan the following should beconsidered: An understanding of the space and infrastructure requirements for bicycle parkingassociated with the projected precinct population. Bicycle use rates to ensure future bicycle ownership levels are accounted for. Accessible locations that can accommodate secure bicycle parking provision. The provision of bicycle connections which Council may see as a priority for improvingaccessibility for all ages and abilities for use by the wider community.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 17

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary Report4.4 WasteDuring the process of considering waste solutions for the site, the Arup teamconsidered a series of potential options including:Combination manual and automated waste managementFully automated waste management, andEmerging technologies.These options broadly consider the:The recognition of the separation and management of waste forcommercial and residential tenants.Assessment of new technology for the disposal and storage of waste i.e.automated waste systems (AWS).Provision of a waste management strategy which is efficient for all landuse types within the precinct; race venue, private functions, retail, andresidential accommodation (low, mid and high rise).Provision of a flexible strategy that identifies the long term goals that arein-line with the aspirations of the local authorities for waste minimisation.Details of the initial assessment are provided in Appendix B4.At a later stage of planning for the precinct, stakeholders should also consider astrategy which encompasses a ‘green message’ associated with waste treatmentand management that encourages awareness and education for residents,businesses and the racecourse.After further consideration and the subsequent client workshop, it was decided tofurther analyse the solutions detailed in the boxes below.Understanding the Business-as-Usual Waste ContextTo understand the benefits of often capitalintensivewaste management initiatives, it isuseful to consider the business-as-usual context.In a traditional waste management system for aprecinct, waste bins will be provided for thedisposal and storage of non recoverable (wetwaste – food and liquid) and recoverable wastestreams (dry recyclables – plastic, paper, glass,metal, cardboard and garden waste).The traditional system will typically use 660litre wheelie bins for the collection of all wastestreams, based on the local authorityrequirements for equipment to be fitted to current waste vehicles.There is no particular commercial gain from this standard approach. The localauthority will collect and dispose of waste, and residents will be charged as part of221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 21

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary Reportlocal tax. The racecourse will pay for collections either via the local authority or a3rd party waste contractor.It should be noted that the traditional system does not provide any initiatives toreduce waste to landfill.Waste Management – Combined Manual and Automated Waste SystemDescriptionA mixed use system which combines automation and traditional methods. Non recoverablewaste is disposed in the automated system and recycling waste is stored in traditional wheeliebin containers.The automated system uses a vacuum chute to transfer waste bags from the point-of-disposal(typically waste chute room or street level waste bins) to a central storage facility locatedwithin the development. The facility will typically have 20m 3 containers or compactors and amechanical vacuum system.Providing a chute system without automation is also another option however, lower ground orbasement storage will need to be considered thereby reducing the gross floor area (GFA).Commercial / FinancialNon recoverable waste collected within the precinct can be treated on site through methodssuch as anaerobic digestion and composting with obvious gas-generation and food productionrelatedopportunities whilst also reducing waste to landfill.Environmental / SocialUnless non recoverable waste is treated on site, there are no considerable environmentalbenefits of such an approach.Regarding social issues, the chute system reduces waste tipping, especially within typicallyconstrained areas (typical floors and lobby areas) associated with mid to high rise buildings.Incidence of vermin and insects are also reduced.Conversely, such waste chutes may become blocked therefore discouraging use by residents.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 22

Moonee Valley Racing ClubMoonee Valley Racecourse RedevelopmentESD Opportunities Summary ReportNext StepsThere are considerable benefits associated with installing such a waste solution particularly formid and high rise residential accommodation; despite the expense.Introduction of the system would require that it be considered in the master plan phase due tothe space requirements, the considerable capital expenditure and the difficulties in retrofitting.Waste Management – Fully Automated Waste SystemDescriptionBoth non recoverable and recoverable waste streams aredisposed within an automated system. No additionalcontainers are required.TechnicalThe same principle applies as for the automated element ofa combined automatic/manual system; a chute system usesair vacuum technology for both non recoverable andrecoverable waste disposal and transfers the waste to acentral facility.Commercial / FinancialSuch a system will require considerable capital expenditure to establish.Commercial benefits may be derived from enhanced property values due to reduced noise andodour levels associated with the separation of waste from the everyday site activities.Next StepsConsideration of the space requirements of an automated waste system across the precinctduring the master plan phase including site entrances and exits, piping, and central collectionunits.Waste Management – Emerging Technologies in AustraliaA general consideration for the master plan is the willingness to consider the introduction ofemerging waste management technologies and processes.Biomass - Anaerobic DigestionAnaerobic digestion uses a series of processes in whichmicroorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absenceof oxygen, used for industrial or domestic purposes to managewaste and release energy.Such a system has obvious waste management advantages as wellas the potential to provide gas for cogeneration or tri-generation,however significant capital expenditure is required.CompostingA system of collection and management of organic waste composting may be considered;potentially to reduce organic waste leaving the site to zero.221171-00 | Issue | 17 May 2013 | ArupG:\CON_567 SUSTAIN\BD\SUBMISSIONS\TEMP PROPOSALS\CHARTER KC - MVRC ESD LEGAL SUPPORT - APR13\3.AMENDED MAY 2013\ARUP - ESD OPPS SUMMARYREPORT - PARTIALLY AMENDED MAY 2013 - FINAL - 17.5.13.DOCXPage 23

Buildingmounted arrays of PVpanels will convert solarenergy from the sun intoelectricity. In this case, PVpanels can be mounted tothe roofs of residentialhousing, or club facilities,such as the grandstand.It is possible to also includeintegrated street lightingsolar luminaries.Solar Photovoltaic (PV)converts solar energy fromsun into usable heat.Solar hot water systems useevacuated solar tubes orflat plate solar panels andare generally installed witha gas or electric booster.They come in eitherinstantaneous or storagetype booster systems.The technology is currentlyviable and used in Victoria. Itcan be applied to medium tohigh density housing, andclub facilities.It is particularly beneficialwhen thermal demand inwinter is accompanied bygreat cooling demand insummer, like in Victoria.Connection to the grid is stillrequired for times of peakdemand or when electricity isrequired in the absence of aheat demand.Solar PV is a commonly usedand proven technology.Electricity generationcapability depends onorientation. The optimaloperation when array facesnorth, tilted at an angle equalto the site latitude minus 10degrees (37.5°-10° forMelbourne), with goodaccess to sunlight.However, electricity from thegrid is still required forsignificant periods during theyear.Solar Hot Water is acommonly used and proventechnology.Electricity generationcapability depends onorientation (see above).3 Shorter payback periodsupon significant year rounddemand for heating and hotwater.Savings from energy coststo the home owner willoccur as grid electricity andgas prices continue toincrease. MVRC can alsocharge a premium toproperty for this benefit.Additionally, cost savingsto MVRC operated clubfacilities will be made.3 There are opportunities forsolar PV to connect tonational grid. Under a feedintariff, commercialreturns can be made in theform of energy costsavings, as grid electricityprices continue to increase.MVRC can also charge apremium to property forthis benefit.3 Commercial returns aremade in the form of energysavings to the home owner.The energy generated canbe high, leading to shortpayback periods.It should be also noted thatsolar hot water may be alegislative requirement onall new residentialbuildings in the next fewyears.3 High initial capitaloutlays are expected. Aplant will be required,and additionalinfrastructure for athermal network will berequired (cooling andheating pipes).Additionally, the plantwill need to be operatedand maintained, eitherthrough a third party orthe owner.3 Capital costs aregenerally comparativelyhigh for PV panels.Government rebates canlower this initial cost.However, any changes togovernment rebates willimpacts capital costs.The approximate capitalcost of $5000-$6000 perkW. Generally, onesingle-unit residentialhome will be sized with a1.5kW solar panel.3 These are typically two tothree times the cost oftraditional instantaneoushot water systems.Government rebates canlower this initial cost.However, any changes togovernment rebates willimpacts capital costs.The approximate capitalcost of $2,000-$3,000 perkW per house.1 Reductions in greenhousegas emissions as well asthermal pollution fromthe re-use of waste heat.However, reductions aredependent on the size ofinstalled system and yearround heating demand.Potential negativebiodiversity effect fromgas extraction.2 Solar PV is a renewablesource of energy, and itsoperational emissions arezero.However, solar PV hashigh embodied energy inmanufacturing (siliconmaterial, fossil fuels usedfor extraction, and leadbased batteries for energystorage).3 Solar Hot Water is arenewable source ofenergy, and itsoperational emissions arezero.
