Sample and Materials Board Management Plan (Inner west Council N.D.a)

The extant application lacks a few key plans and supporting documentation mandated by the Inner West (Marrickeville) Council for development application. Particularly, it lacks a storm waterDrainage ConceptPlan and the council does not provide its approval for incomplete applications.

b. Compliance with statutory requirements

Affordable Rental Housing or State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) 2009 constitutes the key legislation permitting boarding houses. SEPP offers a set of boarding house standards whose compliance may not be utilized for refusing boarding houses (Marrickville Council N.D.a). The 2011 Marrickville Development Control Plans A.2.6 mandates drainage plans in case of boarding houses. The development application in question lacks such a plan, which leads to the conclusion that the application fails to adhere to Marrickville councils development planning statutory requirements.

c. Council documentation requirements compared to legislation

Yes, Marrickville Council has more documentation requirements than what the law requires. The legislature concerned with Marrickville Council development planning includes; the 1993 Development Act, Building Code of Australia, New Zealand/Australian Standards, the 2008 Development Regulation, the 1999 Local Government Act, the 2016 Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016, and the 2016 Local Nuisance and Litter Control Act. For compliance with the above legislature, Marrickville Council outlines additional documents which must be presented for guaranteeing compliance according to regional conditions and circumstances. Local Australian councils possess statutory control over development approval procedures and land-use zoning. Moreover, they are required to formulate and put local and strategic plans into effect (Yigitcanlar 2006). This, thus, makes it mandatory for the council to require additional development planning-related documentation.

Task 2: Compliance assessment report

Every external works development application needs to encompass an exterior finish and color schedule, presented as material and colour samples or manufacturer code-bearing trade brochures placed neatly atop a sample board. Materials and colours presented need to be referenced carefully to every planned elevation. The sample boards coloured copies need to be included in the application as well. The existing application lacks a finish and color schedule as...

…to appropriate Environment, Water and Climate Change Departmental guidelines, describing remediation to the areas the development impacts, and validated to ensure all contamination on the site is managed appropriately. Evidence on these matters needs to be put forward before the Councils delegate or the Council itself within a couple of years from the determinations date, failing which the consent lapses (Marrickville Council, N.D.a).

b. A deferred commencement for this project

The development consent will be inoperable if the following elements are addressed to the Councils satisfaction: A license of allocation must be acquired for the land, for utilizing site resources as the council did, and as recommended by the councils department. The allocation must be acquired prior to a lapse of 2 years or the consent will expire.

Task 5: Legislative and council requirements for the notification

The minimum development application notification standard is:

Forwarding a notice, in writing, to adjacent lands occupiers and owners, as well as to occupiers and owners of lands right across a road or street. The Council will bank on its own property system during notice compilation for identifying land owners;

Placement of a sign as notice on the land;

Listing the development application within a locally circulated newspaper; and

Adherence to a two-week notification period (which will be extended to three weeks during Christmas and Easter) (Marrickville Council N.D.b).

The council may vary the aforementioned process and permit:

Notifications to properties besides neighboring properties;

Extension of notification period;

Organizing a public meeting

Listing of the application within a locally circulated newspaper;

Exhibition of plans and designs at other open/public places;

Changing the recommendations the written notification contains; and

Consulting with appropriate community…
