1. I object to the granting of approval to amend conditions of consent.

   Insufficient information has been provided regarding interruption of diversion of overland water flows by the development.

   Insufficient information has been provided regarding the contemplation of water sensitive urban design.

   I note that the alternative water supply is not connected to lavatories in the Basix certificate document and object to this continuing and urgently request a condition of consent that the alternative water supply be connected to all lavatories, laundry and garden fixtures.

   I note from original plans the unsuitable internal amenity from lack of a suitably sized and designed space for washing machine storage and request this be urgently addressed.

   I note that there is no treatment of the driveway such as bunded pavement, on-site drain gross pollutant screens in order to prevent litter, leaked vehicle fluids, and car washing related waste from entering the storm water system.

   I request a consent condition that any resident is forbidden from washing motor vehicles upon the driveway, or washing of any waste bin upon the driveway.

   I request that the energy and thermal performance plans be redone with the minimum standards exceeded by 50%.

   I'm request consent condition that subsurface permeable drain pipe (agg drain) be installed so that the site cannot be inundated whatsoever during a precipitation event of 100mm of rain within 12 hours.

   As the land slopes towards the north there is insufficient information that the development will not increase overland flows of water and inundate land to the north in the event of a precipitation event of 100mm falling within 12 hours.

   Frankly I question this development should ever have been approved. I recommend that no occupation certificates be valid for the site until further engineering and planning scrutiny is undertaken and the owners and developer become more transparent with us. They expect it's St Mary's it should just get "boxes ticked and waved through" well I think it needs a lot more official scrutiny than has been the case to date.

2. Please add these consent conditions, renumber in sequence in the event other consent conditions are imposed at the same time:

   1 Within 3 months of the granting of the consent amendment that the applicants plant no less than one indigenous canopy tree per lot, in its front yard, that are eucalyptus species, to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority.

   2 The trees must be indigenous to the local ecological vegetation class, and installed at a minimum pot size of 250mm and at height of 1.0 metres when planted.

   3 The landscaping referred to above in Condition 1, must be maintained to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority, including that any dead, diseased or damaged plants are to be replaced as soon as possible.
