Judgment

  1. COMMISSIONER: This Class 1 appeal is brought by Made Property (NSW) Pty Limited (the Applicant) under s 8.7 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EPA Act) following the deemed refusal by the City of Canada Bay Council (the Respondent) of development application No. DA2022/0116 that seeks consent for demolition of existing structures and construction of a four-storey residential flat building at 134A to 140 Tennyson Road, Mortlake (the Site).

  2. The Court arranged a conciliation conference under s 34(1) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979 (LEC Act) between the parties, which was held on 19 December 2022. I presided over the conciliation conference.

  3. At the conciliation conference, the parties reached agreement as to the terms of a decision in the proceedings that would be acceptable to the parties, subject to an adjournment being granted for the purpose of amending plans and other documents.

  4. On 16 January 2023, I granted a further adjournment for the finalisation of amendments, and the preparation of documents required to support a decision of the Court.

  5. This decision involved the Court upholding the appeal and granting conditional development consent to the development application. A signed agreement prepared in accordance with s 34(10) of the LEC Act was filed with the Court on 22 February 2023, with certain corrections to conditions of consent filed on 9 March 2023.

  6. The parties ask me to approve their decision as set out in the s 34 agreement before the Court. In general terms, the agreement approves the development subject to amended plans that were prepared by the Applicant, and noting that the final detail of the works and plans are specified in the agreed conditions of development consent annexed to the s 34 agreement.

  7. Under s 34(3) of the LEC Act, I must dispose of the proceedings in accordance with the parties’ decision if the parties’ decision is a decision that the Court could have made in the proper exercise of its functions. The parties explained to me during the conference as to how the requirements of the relevant environmental planning instruments have been satisfied in order to allow the Court to make the agreed orders at [66]. I formed an opinion of satisfaction that each of the pre-jurisdictional requirements identified by the parties have been met, for reasons I will now set out.

  8. The owners of the Site are Made Investments No.5 Pty Limited and Transport for NSW(TfNSW), who provide their consent.

  9. The DA was lodged with the Respondent on 20 April 2022, and was advertised and notified to adjoining and nearby landowners between 21 April 2022 to 12 May 2022.

  10. The Site is within the R1 General Residential zone identified by the Canada Bay Local Environmental Plan 2013 (CBLEP) in which residential flat buildings are permitted with consent, where consistent with the following objectives of the zone:

•  To provide for the housing needs of the community.

•  To provide for a variety of housing types and densities.

•  To enable other land uses that provide facilities or services to meet the day to day needs of residents.

The height standard is exceeded

  1. A height of building standard of 12m applies to the Site, pursuant to cl 4.3(2) of CBLEP. Certain elements of the proposal exceed the maximum height permitted by a maximum of 5.35m, primarily due to the existing excavation of the Site.

  2. A written request has been prepared by BFF Planning dated 17 February 2023, in accordance with cl 4.6 of the CBLEP to justify the contravention of the height standard (the Height Request).

  3. As required by cl 4.6(3) of the CBLEP, the height request seeks to justify the contravention of the height standard by demonstrating that compliance with the standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances of the case and that there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify contravening the standard.

  4. The height request contends that compliance with the standard is unreasonable or unnecessary because the proposal is consistent with the objectives of the standard notwithstanding the non-compliance.

  5. The objectives of the height standard are:

(a)  to ensure that buildings are compatible with the height, bulk and scale of the desired future character of the locality and positively contribute to the streetscape and public spaces,

(b)  to protect the amenity of residential accommodation, neighbouring properties and public spaces in terms of—

(i)  visual and acoustic privacy, and

(ii)  solar access and view sharing,

(c)  to establish a transition in scale between medium and high density centres and adjoining lower density and open space zones to protect local amenity,

(d)  to ensure that buildings respond to the natural topography of the area.

  1. The height request contends the first objective is achieved as: “the objective of the building height development standard does not require buildings to be the same height as that established by the desired future character, but rather that buildings be compatible with such height.”. The height request identifies eight sites in the area on which development of between four to seven storeys in height was considered compatible by the Respondent.

  2. The height request contends the second objective is achieved when the view analysis prepared in support of the development application is considered, as the proposal will provide for a similar or improved view outcome from surrounding development when compared with a complying development. Furthermore, those elements exceeding the height standard will not unreasonably impact the solar access of neighbouring properties or the public domain nearby.

  3. The height request contends the third objective is not relevant as the Site does not adjoin a zone of different density.

  4. Finally, the height request contends the fourth objective is achieved by re-introducing fill to the Site to more closely resemble foreshore treatment along Breakfast Point, and to marry with existing ground levels along Palace Lane, and step down to the north “in response to assumed pre-existing natural ground levels”.

  5. Next, the height request advances environmental planning grounds said to be sufficient to justify the contravention of the standard, summarised as follows:

  1. The proposal is consistent and compatible with development of between four to seven storeys identified at [16].

  2. The extent of exceedance is amplified by existing excavation on the Site. When the original undisturbed levels of the Site are interpolated across the Site, the exceedance is reduced. Further, the proposal comprises three separate floor plates to follow the pre-existing natural fall of the land.

  3. The development proposes foreshore works and a Right of Carriageway facilitating public access on land that is the subject of long-term lease by the Applicant, in the ownership of TfNSW. In essence, the additional floor space above the height standard offsets the costs associated with the proposed public foreshore access, and its ongoing maintenance that is the responsibility of the Applicant for public benefit.

  1. The height request also asserts the proposed development will be in the public interest because, firstly, it is consistent with the objectives of the height standard for the reasons given, and secondly, because it is consistent with the objectives for development in the R1 zone. Additionally, when those matters at cl 4.6(5) of the CBLEP are considered, the concurrence of the Secretary may be assumed.

  2. The Respondent is satisfied that the height request has adequately addressed the matters to be demonstrated by cl 4.6(3) of the CBLEP and that the proposed development will be in the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives of the standard, and of the zone.

  3. I am also satisfied under cl 4.6(4) of the CBLEP that the height request has adequately addressed the matter to be demonstrated by subcl 4.6(3) and that the proposed development will be in the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives of the height standard and of the R1 zone, for the reasons set out in the height request.

The Floor Space Ratio standard is exceeded

  1. The proposal also exceeds the floor space ratio (FSR) of 0.75:1 at cl 4.4 of the CBLEP, with a FSR of 0.99:1 and the Applicant relies upon a written request variation prepared by Boston Blyth Fleming Planning dated 7 February 2023 (FSR Request).

  2. As required by cl 4.6(3) of the CBLEP, the FSR Request seeks to justify the contravention of the FSR standard by demonstrating that compliance with the standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances of the case and that there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify contravening the standard.

  3. The FSR Request contends that compliance with the standard is unreasonable or unnecessary because the proposal is consistent with the objectives of the standard notwithstanding the non-compliance.

  4. The objectives of the FSR standard are:

(a)  to ensure that buildings are compatible with the bulk, scale, streetscape and desired future character of the locality,

(b)  to provide a suitable balance between landscaping and built form,

(c)  to minimise overshadowing of, and loss of privacy to, neighbouring properties,

(d)  to maximise solar access and amenity for public places,

(e)  to manage the visual impact of development when viewed from public places, including the Parramatta River

  1. The FSR Request asserts the first objective is achieved because, at 0.99:1, it is consistent with the permitted FSR on the land, where development on the land is for the purposes of commercial premises, light industries or a vehicle repair station. As such, it may be reasonably anticipated that development on the land would achieve an FSR of 1:1. Such development is compatible with the desired future character of the locality, evident in consent granted to six developments identified by address and in Figures 1-6 of the FSR Request.

  2. The second objective is said to be achieved by compliance with the landscape area and deep soil requirements of the Apartment Design Guide.

  3. The third objective is said to be achieved as there are no unreasonable overshadowing or privacy impacts on neighbouring properties.

  4. The fourth objective is achieved by providing public access to the foreshore that enjoys a north easterly aspect, providing excellent solar access.

  5. The fifth objective is achieved by the arrangement of the development in five narrows forms presenting to the waterway, generously setback with deep balconies, varied materials and extensive landscaping in the foreground when viewed from the waterway. As such, the distribution of floor area manages the visual impact from the waterway, while providing view corridors from the public domain unlikely to be achieved by a complying built form envelope.

  6. Next, the FSR Request advances two environmental planning grounds said to be sufficient to justify the contravention of the standard, summarised as follows:

  1. Firstly, because the proposal is consistent with existing development nearby, notwithstanding the exceedance. In particular, six developments are identified in the immediate vicinity of the Site that exceed an FSR of 0.75:1.

  2. Secondly, because the development includes provision of leasehold lane owned by TfNSW, for which owner’s consent is given, that portion of land, while part of the Site, has been excluded for the purposes of calculating FSR. If this land was included in calculating FSR, the resulting FSR would exceed that permitted by 10%. The proposed additional floor space provides appropriate compensation for the costs associated with securing the leasehold land for the purpose of providing public access, and ongoing maintenance of land in perpetuity.

  1. The FSR Request also asserts the proposed development will be in the public interest because, firstly, it is consistent with the objectives of the FSR standard for the reasons given, and secondly, because it is consistent with the objectives for development in the R1 zone. Additionally, when those matters at cl 4.6(5) are consider, the concurrence of the Secretary may be assumed.

  2. The Respondent is satisfied that the FSR Request has adequately addressed the matters to be demonstrated by cl 4.6(3) of the CBLEP and that the proposed development will be in the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives of the standard, and of the zone.

  3. I am also satisfied under cl 4.6(4) of the CBLEP that the FSR Request has adequately addressed the matter to be demonstrated by subcl 4.6(3) and that the proposed development will be in the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives of the FSR standard and of the R1 zone, for the reasons set out in the FSR Request.

The mix of dwelling size standard is exceeded

  1. The proposal fails to comply with the requirement at cl 6.11 of the CBLEP for a mix of dwelling sizes in residential flat buildings. The development contravenes the standard at cl 6.11(3)(a) for at least 20% of the dwellings to be studio or one bedroom apartments. The proposal comprises 20 apartments, with three bedrooms in each apartment.

  2. The Applicant relies upon a written request variation of cl 6.11 of the CBLEP, prepared by Boston Blyth Fleming Planning dated 17 February 2023 (Apartment Mix Request).

  3. As required by cl 4.6(3) of the CBLEP, the Apartment Mix Request seeks to justify the contravention of the dwelling size standard by demonstrating that compliance with the standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances of the case and that there are sufficient environmental planning grounds to justify contravening the standard.

  4. The Apartment Mix Request contends that compliance with the standard is unreasonable or unnecessary because the proposal is consistent with the objectives of the standard notwithstanding the non-compliance.

  5. The objectives of the relevant standard at cl 6.11 of the CBLEP are:

a)  to ensure the provision of a mix of dwelling types in residential flat buildings and provide housing choice for different demographics, living needs and household budgets,

(b)  to promote development that accommodates a range of household sizes.

  1. The Apartment Mix Request contends the first objective is achieved as: “The Mortlake Apartment demand Review, dated November 2022, prepared by Charter Keck Cramer submitted in support of the application has identified a significant under supply of three-bedroom apartment stock in Mortlake.”. In summary, the Apartment Mix Request argues that a variation to the standard on this site will better achieve a mix of dwelling types in residential flat buildings and provide housing choice for different demographics, living needs and household budgets across the local government area of Canada Bay.

  2. The Apartment Mix Request also contends the second objective is achieved as: “The proposed development has been specifically designed to respond to the identified undersupply of three-bedroom apartments in Mortlake. Whilst each proposed unit comprises three bedrooms, the apartments are designed to allow flexibility in use, and may be occupied by a range of household sizes. For example, one of the 20 x three-bedroom apartments may be occupied by a single retiree, with the second bedroom used as an office and the third bedroom used for guests. Another apartment may provide housing for a family of four, noting that the ground floor apartments with large at grade terraces may attract families with young children. Another of the three-bedroom apartments may be occupied by a young professional couple, who use each one of the bedrooms as a home office.”.

  3. The environmental planning grounds advanced by the Apartment Mix Request are identical as that at [42].

  4. The Apartment Mix Request also asserts the proposed development will be in the public interest because, firstly, it is consistent with the objectives of the dwelling size standard for the reasons given, and secondly, because it is consistent with the objectives for development in the R1 zone. Additionally, when those matters at cl 4.6(5) are considered, the concurrence of the Secretary may be assumed.

  5. The Respondent is satisfied that the Apartment Mix Request has adequately addressed the matters to be demonstrated by cl 4.6(3) of the CBLEP and that the proposed development will be in the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives of the standard, and of the zone.

  6. I am also satisfied under cl 4.6(4) of the CBLEP that the Apartment Mix Request has adequately addressed the matter to be demonstrated by subcl 4.6(3) and that the proposed development will be in the public interest because it is consistent with the objectives of the relevant standard and of the R1 zone, for the reasons set out in the Apartment Mix Request.

Other jurisdictional considerations

  1. The Site is identified within an area of Class 5 Acid sulfate soils, according to the Acid Sulfate Soils Map at cl 6.1(2) of the CBLEP, and is within 500m of land classified otherwise. The Acid Sulfate Soil Assessment prepared by JK Geotechnics, report number 34774L Let, dated 1 April 2022, records the findings of four boreholes drilled on site, with the conclusion that the proposed works will not result in a lowering of the water table by 1m. Nevertheless, the Remedial Action Plan (RAP) prepared by WSP Australia Pty Limited dated November 2022 states there is evidence of the presence of potential acid sulfate soils in the fill horizon on the Site that may trigger the requirement for an Acid Sulfate Soil Management Plan if those soils become exposed to air. Accordingly, Condition 59 of the agreed conditions of consent require conformance with the certain recommendations of the RAP.

  2. Clause 6.2 of the CBLEP deals with earthworks. I have considered the opinions, recommendations and conclusions recorded in the Geotechnical Opinion prepared by JK Geotechnics dated 1 April 2022; the Tennyson Road Staging Site, Environmental Site Assessment, Detailed Site Investigations, dated 29 January 2021 prepared by WSP; the Contamination Data Gap Assessment, prepared by WSP dated 28 February 2022; the Remedial Action Plan, prepared by WSP dated November 2022; and the Interim Audit Advice Letter No.1 – Remedial Action Plan, prepared by Ramboll Australia dated 2 December 2022, environment and health consultants. On the basis of those documents listed, and the conditions of consent, I conclude the proposal will not have a detrimental impact on environmental functions and processes, neighbouring uses, cultural or heritage items, or features of the surrounding land.

  1. As the Site is not identified on the Intensive Urban Development Area Map, the requirements of cl 6.10 of the CBLEP, Public Utility Infrastructure, do not apply. However, I am nevertheless satisfied that the development will be adequately supplied with water, electricity and the disposal and management of sewer.

State Environmental Planning Policy (Resilience and Hazards) 2021

  1. On the basis of those documents cited at [49], I consider the Site contaminated in terms set out at s 4.6 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Resilience and Hazards) 2021, but I am satisfied that the land will be suitable for the purpose for which development is proposed, subject to those conditions of consent at Conditions 65-68.

State Environmental Planning Policy (Biodiversity & Conservation) 2021

  1. The Site has a frontage to Sydney Harbour, and so the planning principles and matters for consideration under Ch 10 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Biodiversity and Conservation) 2021 (Biodiversity and Conservation SEPP), applicable when the development application was lodged, relevantly apply.

  2. The proposal is for development on a highly modified site that is to be remediated, and landscaped. I note the Interim Audit Advice Letter No.1 – Remedial Action Plan, prepared by Ramboll Australia considers the stormwater design to present a low risk of offsite groundwater ingress into the stormwater system. Additionally, I accept the conclusion on p12 of the Detailed Site Investigation prepared by WSP that any interaction between tidal water flow and groundwater on the Site is unlikely to alter the water quality of the Parramatta River. On this basis, I accept that the proposal will not adversely impact the biodiversity, ecology and environmental protection of those matters to be considered under s 10.19 of the Biodiversity and Conservation SEPP.

  3. As for the matters to be taken into consideration at s 10.20 of the Biodiversity and Conservation SEPP, the proposal will improve public access, for recreational purposes, along the foreshore without adversely impacting the waterway or seawall.

  4. Likewise, when those matters at s 10.22 of the Biodiversity and Conservation SEPP are considered, I regard the interrelationship of waterway and foreshore uses proposed to be appropriately addressed.

  5. The proposed development removes an existing industrial building with large concrete hardstand, and proposes to replace with residential development in a landscaped setting that will enhance views to and from Sydney Harbour in accordance with s 10.24 of the Biodiversity and Conservation SEPP.

State Environmental Planning Policy No 65 – Design Quality of Residential Apartment Development (SEPP65)

  1. As the proposal is for residential apartment development, the provisions of SEPP 65 apply.

  2. Subclause 28(2) of SEPP 65 requires a consent authority to take into consideration, in addition to any other matters that are required to be, or may be, taken into consideration, the following:

(a) the advice (if any) obtained from the design review panel, and

(b) the design quality of the development when evaluated in accordance with the design quality principles, and

(c) the Apartment Design Guide.

  1. Where an application relates to residential apartment development, cl 29(1) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021 (EPA Regulation) requires a development application to be accompanied by a statement by a qualified designer, defined at cl 3 of the EPA Regulation as a person registered as an architect in accordance with the Architects Act 2003.

  2. The statement must conform to the provisions of cl 29(2) of the EPA Regulation, which include attestations in relation to cl 28(2)(b) and (c) of SEPP 65. I am satisfied that the statement provided by Mr Adam Haddow (Reg No.7188) is in a complying form and adequately demonstrates that the development is largely consistent with the design quality principles, objectives and design criteria of the Apartment Design Guide, where not otherwise addressed in this judgment.

  3. On the basis of the design statement prepared by Mr Haddow, I am also of the opinion that the proposal is consistent with those standards at cl 30 of SEPP 65 that cannot be used as grounds to refuse development consent, and I consider that adequate regard has been had to the design quality principles and to the objectives specified in the Apartment Design Guide, in accordance with cl 30(2) of SEPP 65.

State Environmental Planning Policy (Building Sustainability Index: BASIX) 2004

  1. I am satisfied that the application is accompanied by a BASIX certificate (Cert No. 1280111M_04, dated 7 February 2023) prepared by Efficient Living in accordance with State Environmental Planning Policy (Building Sustainability Index: BASIX) 2004 and the EPA Regulation.

Conclusion

  1. As the jurisdictional prerequisites to the grant of consent have been addressed, I am satisfied that the parties’ decision is one that the Court could have made in the proper exercise of its functions, as required by s 34(3) of the LEC Act. Accordingly, I am required under s 34(3) of the LEC Act to dispose of the proceedings in accordance with the parties’ decision.

  2. In making the orders to give effect to the agreement between the parties, I was not required to make, and have not made, any merit assessment of the issues that were originally in dispute between the parties.

  3. The Court notes that:

  1. The City of Canada Bay Council, as the relevant consent authority, has agreed, pursuant to cl 37 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021, to the Applicant amending Development Application DA2022/0116 to rely upon the following plans and documents:
