EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The application seeks Development Plan Consent to construct a car wash, vacuum bays and signage at Calton Road, Gawler East. The subject site is located in the Town of Gawler and comprises allotments 2044 and 2050 in Development Application DA 490/D026/19, approved at SCAP on the 13th February 2020. The proposed car wash will be located on allotment 2044, with a petrol station proposed on allotment 2050 (490/E008/19). The car wash will operate independently to the petrol station, however will share the access/egress arrangements to the site. Comprising a Category 3 form of development, the application underwent public consultation as prescribed by Section 38(5) of the Development Act 1993. Nine (9) representations were received in respect to the proposal, one of which is from the Town of Gawler. Town of Gawler have raised a number of comments about the application, which are summarised in section 4 and 6 of this report. On balance, it is considered that the proposed car wash is not seriously at variance with the Gawler (CT) Development Plan, and the intent of the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3. Accordingly, it is recommended that the SCAP grants Development Plan Consent subject to conditions.
ASSESSMENT REPORT 1. BACKGROUND
1.1 Strategic Context The site area has a combined area (allotments 2044 and 2050) of 4075 sqm. The site is located with the Residential (Gawler East) Zone– Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 of

12 March 2020
the Gawler (CT) Development Plan. The relevant provisions in this Zone (and Policy Area) envisage a functional and diverse zone accommodating a mix of commercial, retail, recreation, community, residential, office, consulting rooms and educational uses. From a strategic perspective, the nature of the proposal is broadly consistent with the zoning for the land.
2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL Application details are contained in the ATTACHMENTS. The application proposes to construct a car wash, vacuum bays and signage.

3. SITE AND LOCALITY
3.1 Site Description The site is located at the corner of Calton Road and GELR. The subject site is legally described as: Lot No Suburb Hundred Title Reference 9010 Gawler East Barossa 6205/146
SCAP Agenda Item 2.2.2
12 March 2020
The site (lots 2044 and 2050) have a combined areas of 4,075 sqm and are currently vacant. The site was previously part of the former Quarry to the west. One Regulated tree exists on the application site at the north-western corner of lot 2044. The removal of this tree was considered under the parent application and does not form part of the consideration of this application. 3.2 Locality The surrounding locality is predominantly characterised by low density residential to the north and the former quarry site to the west. The eastern part of the locality contains part of the recently developed 2015 Springwood development, comprising 387 residential allotments which occur at medium-to-low density. The southern parts of the locality are characterised by vast areas of low intensity horticulture and agriculture, made more visually prominent than other parts of the locality due to natural topographical features. Calton Road (to the north of the site) provides connections west toward the Gawler Town Centre and east to the Barossa food and wine district. In terms of community facilities, the main facilities are provided within the heart of the Gawler Town Centre, approximately 1.5 km west of the subject site. These include common services such as shops and restaurants and the Gawler Central rail station. There are no car wash facilities within the immediate vicinity.
4. COUNCIL COMMENTS
4.1 Gawler Council Comments Applicant’s Response Land Use The Mixed Use Centre Policy area 3
contemplates a wide range of land uses that serve the local community. The proposed use is in keeping with this intent and therefore satisfies Objective 1, 3 and PDC 1 and 6 of the policy area.
No comment required.
Earthworks and Retaining
Based on the current proposed stormwater/civil plan, the proposal is considered to provide for a balanced extent of earthworks across to the two allotments. Consistent with Zone PDC 31.
No comment required.
Design This intent is considered to be achieved by the proposal, with the built form comprises of a high standard façade.
No comment required.
Stormwater The associated stormwater system in which the proposal will connect/discharge into is yet to be constructed in its final form. The current stormwater management for this portion of the site is an interim system that is discharged
Stormwater from the car wash and petrol filling station (which are proceeding via separate development applications), will be treated and detained on the site before proceeding to Calton Road. From there, the treated stormwater will be
SCAP Agenda Item 2.2.2
12 March 2020
onto the former quarry site located within the Springwood land. This discharge/outlet point of the current system will be redefined as part of the on-going development of the springwood estate. Until the receiving system has been defined, confirmed and approved, Council is unable to support the proposed stormwater management.
piped to an existing detention basin which is located to the west of the ElectraNet easement within the Springwood development. Over time, this arrangement will be superseded by the broader stormwater management system for the entire Springwood development which has now been approved via the land divisions.
Traffic and Car Parking /infrastructure Provision
The access/egress arrangements are of a sufficient width and configuration to facilitate two-way simultaneous turning movements. The traffic volume associated with the site is considered to be in keeping with the traffic volume proposed as part of the associated land division applications. The Gawler East Link Road has and the associated traffic interventions have not completed construction, any works or refinements to roads that are required to accommodate the proposed development should be completed as part of the associated land division applications and secured via an Infrastructure Agreement (being as part of external infrastructure works) for the subject application to ensure such works (if required) are provided and orderly development is achieved. Zone PDC 42 outlines that development should only occur if the required physical and community infrastructure has been provided or secured via a legally binding agreement. To date this infrastructure has not been completed/provided nor secured. As such, the proposal does not satisfy Zone PDC 42 (being all elements a to d). The provision of car parking is acceptable for the site.
The total traffic generation associated with the car wash was included as part of the previous traffic assessment prepared under Land Division (490/D026/19). This included an analysis of the infrastructure interventions required to accommodate the masterplan into the surrounding road network. Clauses (a) and (b) of PDC 42 will be satisfied via the construction of the Gawler East Link Road which is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2020 . More specifically, the Gawler East Link Road will facilitate vehicular access to the eastern side of the site of the proposed Car Wash and will provide the 'public lighting, pedestrian and bicycle paths and associated landscape treatments' as sought by clause (b) of PDC 42.
Landscaping A detailed landscaping plan should be prepared as a reserved matter or condition of consent. Consideration of the ‘taller shrubs’ proposed to be situated towards the rear of the site should be reflected within such a plan to assist in improving the proposed landscaping.
The proposal includes landscaping along both road frontages. A condition is recommend to ensure further details are provided in respect to landscaping.
SCAP Agenda Item 2.2.2
12 March 2020
Signage Signage contained within the proposal generally aligns with Table Ga/4 of the Town of Gawler Development Plan which seeks for flat wall signs to be limited to one sign per wall.
No comments required.
Noise The predicted noise levels from the proposed development are considered by Sonus to achieve the relevant noise criteria, outlined within the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 subject to the provision of treatments. The recommendations presented by Sonus should be included within a condition of consent imposed on the application, should consent be granted.
No comments required.
Crime Prevention
Whilst the proposal is considered to be designed in a manner that facilitates passive surveillance from the adjoining public realm, consideration should be given to crime prevention through urban design in order to ensure the proposal assists in deterring anti-social behaviour.
Please refer to section 12 of the report.
Easements (i.e. Electranet)
The proposal does not appear to result in any conflict with existing/proposed easements or infrastructure. However, consideration should be given to these elements to ensure adequate separation is maintained and such services are not impacted by the proposed development.
No comment required.
5. STATUTORY REFERRAL BODY COMMENTS
No Statutory Referrals were required pursuant to Schedule 8 of the Development Regulations 2008.
6. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION

The Applicant has provided a response to the above comments which are provided in the ATTACHMENTS. A summary of the key themes is listed below: • Suitability of the land use;
• Increased traffic and congestion (including on Phillip Avenue);
• Increased noise;
SCAP Agenda Item 2.2.2
12 March 2020
• Visual impact; and
• Connection with the proposed petrol filling station.
These themes are also discussed in detail in the body of the report. A number of other matters were raised by the representors which have been addressed by the applicant below: • Increased run-off from the site – this has been addressed in the Stormwater Management Plan prepared by Sagero Engineers which demonstrates that stormwater will be managed appropriately;
• Lack of footpaths on Calton Road – it is understood that the associated land division is proposing to construct a footpath on the southern side of Calton Road which will improve pedestrian connectivity in the area;
• Global warming and increase in electric/hybrid vehicles – it is unclear how these matters are directly applicable to the subject application for a car wash;
• Increased odours – the proposed development does not include any activities that have the potential to detrimentally affect the locality in terms of additional odours;
• Increased lighting – while the proposed development will increase the amount of lighting in the locality, we reiterate that the Development Plan seeks a range of non-residential development in this area which inevitable will lead to an increase in lighting;
• Increased signage – the proposed signage is relatively modest and is consistent with the type and design of signage that is typically associated with development of this nature;
• Devaluation of properties – this is not a relevant issue in the assessment of development applications. A copy of each representation, and the applicant’s response is contained as an attachment to this report. 7. POLICY OVERVIEW The subject land is situated in the Residential Gawler East Zone (Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3) as described within the Gawler (CT) Development Plan, consolidated 18 July 2019. Relevant planning policies are contained in the ATTACHMENTS and summarised below.
7.1 Zone Policy Residential (Gawler East) Zone The Zone objectives seek to deliver a predominantly residential area comprising a range of low and medium-density dwellings with associated integrated infrastructure, retail, commercial, recreational, educational and community development in accordance with Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G.
SCAP Agenda Item 2.2.2
12 March 2020
7.2 Policy Area Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 The Policy Area seeks to encourage a diverse zone accommodating a mix of commercial, retail, recreation, community, residential, office, consulting rooms and educational uses. Desired Character In terms of urban design and built form, a ‘main street’ environment will be created, where buildings address the street and car parks are primarily located to the rear. In order to minimise the overall extent of off street parking shared car parking is encouraged, and the convenience, availability and function of on street parking in mixed use environments will be recognised. Commercial and mixed use buildings will be established close to the street frontage and incorporate verandas and other protruding elements in order to create a pedestrian-friendly environment and outdoor dining opportunities. These areas will be enhanced by large street trees, high quality paving, lighting and street furniture. Building facades will be designed in a manner to create diversity of interest through the appearance of an aggregation of smaller buildings. 7.3 General Provisions
The provisions provide guidance in regards to noise, movement and parking of vehicles, parking, signage and effective design outcomes. The relevant planning policies are contained in the concluding ATTACHMENTS.
8. PLANNING ASSESSMENT
The application has been assessed against the relevant provisions of the Gawler (CT) Development Plan. Those relevant provisions are included in the ATTACHMENTS to this report.
8.1 Land Use
The Residential (Gawler East) Zone seeks to secure retail, commercial, recreational, educational and community development in master-planned locations in accordance with Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G. The Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 incorporates a wide range of land uses that serve the local community. A car wash facility is considered to be in keeping with the desired character and intent of the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 and complies with the following objectives: Objective 1: A functional and diverse zone accommodating a mix of commercial, retail, recreation, community, residential, office, consulting rooms and educational uses. Objective 3: Development that contributes to the desired character of the policy area. The proposed use is therefore considered to be consistent with the Zone and Policy Area and meets the locational requirements for commercial development as identified by the Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G.
SCAP Agenda Item 2.2.2
12 March 2020
8.2 Design and Appearance The proposed car wash will be sited in the centre of proposed lot 2044 and have a maximum height of 6.2 metres. The built form is set back appropriately from common boundaries (including Calton Road) and will include landscaping at the northern, southern and western boundaries to soften the appearance of the site. The proposed car wash is considered to be of a sympathetic scale to the locality and complements the height of buildings on the northern side of Calton Road. The building’s exterior will be finished in precast concrete, painted black with yellow detailing. The overall design approach is considered to be positive and incorporates interesting facades that positively contribute to the wider public realm. The proposed vacuum bays will be situated toward the north of the car wash and consists of four (4) parking bays with associated 3 x vacuums on concrete plinths. The concrete plinths will have a maximum height of 1.5metres and thus not considered to be unduly dominant. Similarly, the proposed retaining walls (up to 2.4m) and associated fencing (up to 1.8m) is not considered to have a detrimental impact on the visual amenity of the site. Signage is also proposed to the exterior of the car wash and is discussed in section 12.5 of the report. On balance, the proposed car wash and associated works are considered to result in a high quality design that complements the desired character of the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3.
SCAP Agenda Item 2.2.2
12 March 2020
8.3 Interface Between Land Uses
Objective 42: Development located and designed to minimise adverse impact and conflict between land uses. Objective 43: Protect community health and amenity from adverse impacts of development. Objective 44: Protect desired land uses from the encroachment of incompatible development. PDC 107: Development should not detrimentally affect the amenity of the locality or cause unreasonable interference through any of the following: (a) the emission of effluent, odour, smoke, fumes, dust or other airborne pollutants; (b) noise; (c) vibration; (d) electrical interference; (e) light spill; (f) glare; (g) hours of operation; (h) traffic impacts.
The proposed development is not considered to result in adverse amenity impacts upon neighbouring residents. The site is separated from nearby sensitive uses via public roads (Calton Road and Gawler East Link Road- currently under construction). The proposed separation from nearby residences is considered to offset the overall impact of the proposed car wash in terms of visual bulk and overshadowing. Notwithstanding the above, it is recognised that comments were received during public notification in regards to visual impact. It is acknowledged that the proposed car wash will infill a vacant site and inevitably there will be a physical change in the appearance of the land. However, by virtue of the proposed buildings siting, appearance, height and set-back from neighbouring properties, it is not considered that the visual impacts are unreasonable in the context of the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3. Furthermore, the applicant has provided the following response in respect to visual impact: ‘It is noted that almost all of the representors are separated and shielded from the subject site by a 20m wide vegetated reserve running along the northern side of Calton Road. The vegetated buffer, combined with a separation distance of at least 45m between the subject site and the residential development to the north, provides an effective screen thereby reducing the visual impact of the proposed development. In addition to the above, the proposed development includes a 1.5m wide landscaped strip along the Calton Road frontage which will include mass plantings of assorted groundcovers and low shrubs. This landscaping will assist to soften the appearance of the proposed car wash when viewed from Calton Road and the residential properties to the north’. In terms of operating hours, the proposed car wash will be conditioned to ensure operating hours are between the hours of 10pm and 7am on any given day. This is considered to preserve the amenity of the surrounding area. Lighting will also be controlled via condition.
SCAP Agenda Item 2.2.2
12 March 2020
The applicant has submitted technical reports to address the traffic and noise impacts associated with the proposal. These are summarised in sections 9.0 and 12.0 of the report. On balance it is considered that the proposed car wash results in an acceptable form of development in the Mixed Use Policy Area 3 and has been designed to minimise adverse impacts to neighbouring properties.
9.0 Traffic Impact, Access and Parking (City Wide)
Development plan policies seek the safe and efficient movement of vehicular traffic (to and from the development site) and the adequate provision of off-street car parks (to cater for normal operational use). PDC 370 states that a Traffic Impact Study should be undertaken to determine the potential impact of developments on the surrounding arterial road network. Works that are required as a direct result of providing safe and efficient access to any proposed development should be provided. A Traffic and Parking report was prepared by CIRQA for the proposed petrol station and car wash. Surrounding Roads The development site is located on the southern side of Calton Road. Calton road has an Annual Average Traffic (AADT) volume in the order of 4600 to 5000 vehicles per day and a posted 50 km/h speed limit. GELR, currently under construction to the east of the site is expected to have traffic forecasts in the order of 6,500 vpd with a 50km/h speed limit. Calton Road and Gawler East link Road are proposed to be connected via a roundabout. Traffic Assessment It is noted that the proposal will increase the number of expected traffic movements to and from the site. This requires a careful consideration of existing traffic flows on the surrounding road network (in terms of capacity constraints) and whether improvements or alternations are required to ensure current service levels are maintained (or not unduly affected). The Report estimates that 36 vehicles an hour (at full occupancy) could service the car wash. This is based on all manual and auto-wash bays being in use at the same time. In reality, the vehicle demand will be much lower, particularly during off-peak times. CIRQA Traffic Engineers have confirmed that the proposed trip generation for the site can be accommodated and evenly distributed on to the adjacent road network (Calton Road (to/from the west of the site) and Gawler East Link Road (to/from the south of the site)). This also takes into account the cumulative effects of the proposed petrol station and car wash, which is in the order of 110 ‘passing trade’ trips and 80 additional (‘new’) trips in the peak hour. Furthermore, the total traffic generation associated with both the car wash and the petrol station was included as part of the previous traffic assessment prepared under approved Land Division (490/D026/19). This included an analysis of the infrastructure interventions required to accommodate the masterplan into the surrounding road network.
SCAP Agenda Item 2.2.2
12 March 2020
10.0 Access (Council Wide)
PDC 354 Development should have direct access from an all-weather public road. PDC 355 Development should be provided with safe and convenient access which: (a) avoids unreasonable interference with the flow of traffic on adjoining roads; (b) accommodates the type and volume of traffic likely to be generated by the development or land use and minimises induced traffic through over-provision; (c) is sited and designed to minimise any adverse impacts on the occupants of and visitors to neighbouring properties. The development proposes two, two-way access points to the site. These are proposed to be shared with the proposed petrol station. One access will be provided to Calton Road and provide left-in/right-in/left-out movements, with the other proposed to Gawler East Link Road which proposes left in/right-in/left-out movements. Right-turn out movements from the site will be restricted. The Traffic and Parking Report prepared by Cirqa confirms that all vehicles will be able to enter and exit the site in a forward direction. It is noted that the Gawler Council states that the access/egress points are of a sufficient width and configuration to facilitate two-way simultaneous turning movements. On balance, it is considered that the proposed access/egress arrangements will not detrimentally impact the existing/proposed road network and complies with PDC 355 above.
11.0 Parking (Council Wide)
362 Development should be consistent with Australian Standard AS 2890 Parking facilities. Table Ga/1 sets out the vehicle parking rates for different land uses in the Gawler (CT) Development Plan. The table does not specify a car parking rate for a car wash land use. The development proposes two car parking spaces. This is considered to be acceptable given that the car wash will provide parking within the manual wash and vacuum bays. There is also capacity within the proposed layout to accommodate cars queuing within the development site. The submitted Traffic and Parking Review also confirms that the proposed parking spaces will be designed to Australian Standard AS 2890 in accordance with PDC 362 above. Overall, the parking requirements are considered to be acceptable for the site.
12.0 Environmental Factors
12.1 Crime Prevention Objective 20: A safe, secure, crime resistant environment where land uses are integrated and designed to facilitate community surveillance.
SCAP Agenda Item 2.2.2
12 March 2020
The proposed car wash layout is open in nature and provides low level landscaping to ensure that the site remains visible from Calton Road. In addition, the car wash will be adjacent to a 24/7 petrol station, which will provide constant surveillance. It is considered that the car wash has been designed to facilitate a crime resistant environment.
12.2 Noise Emissions Residential Gawler East Zone PDC 34 Development should be designed and sited to minimise negative impact on existing and potential future land uses considered appropriate in the locality. Council Wide Interface between Land Uses Noise Generating Activities PDC 113 Development that emits noise (other than music noise) should include noise attenuation measures that achieve the relevant Environment Protection (Noise) Policy criteria when assessed at the nearest existing noise sensitive premises. PDC 114 Development with the potential to emit significant noise (e.g. industry) should incorporate noise attenuation measures that prevent noise from causing unreasonable interference with the amenity of noise sensitive premises.
An Environmental Noise Assessment has been prepared by Sonus. The report assessed the cumulative noise impacts of the proposed car wash facility and associated petrol station (490/E008/19). This was achieved by establishing a 3d Noise model of the subject site and the surrounding area.
The Sonus Report considers the noise levels at residences (considered to be sensitive receivers) in the vicinity of the site as a result of the following activities:
• vehicle movements • car park activity • fuel deliveries • automatic and manual wash bays • vacuum bays • rubbish collection and • mechanical plant servicing the facility.
The Report’s conclusion is that the predicted noise levels from the site activity will achieve the relevant requirements of the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 criteria subject to the recommended treatments. The goal noise levels of 50 dB(A) during the day time and 43 dB(A) during the night time are predicted to be achieved at all existing residences.
To ensure that the potential for any noise level exceedances are minimised (and that residential amenity is maintained) a number of additional mitigating treatments have been recommended by Sonus:
• Installing doors to the automatic wash bays; • Installing acoustic absorption within the manual wash bays; • Upgrading the roof of the automatic wash bay and plant room; • Screening the roof top plant and restricting its noise levels subject to a subsequent
design phase
SCAP Agenda Item 2.2.2
12 March 2020
• review; • Reducing the noise from any alarms as far as practical; • Ensuring all inspection points, grated trenches, etc. are correctly fixed; • Restricting the times for rubbish collection and fuel deliveries (to only occur between
the hours of 9am and 7pm on a Sunday/Public Holiday and 7am and 7pm on any other day; and
• Restricting the times for use of the wash facilities (to not be used between the hours of 10pm and 7am).
The acoustic treatments recommended in the noise report by Sonus will be incorporated into the design and construction of the development. The treatments and restriction on operation hours will ensure that existing sensitive receivers are not unduly affected by the proposed development. The recommendations made in the Sonus Nosie repot are proposed to be secured via condition.
12.3 Waste Management
In terms of waste management, this will be managed on the site via a bin store proposed on the western side of petrol shop. The bins will be emptied on an ‘as needs basis’ by a private contractor. The submitted CIRQA Traffic and Parking Report demonstrates that the turn path for 19m fuel tankers can be accommodated on the site. Waste collection only occurs between the hours of 9am and 7pm on a Sunday or public holiday and 7am and 7pm on any other day. Therefore it is considered that there is sufficient room for smaller medium rigid vehicles to collect the waste and access/egress the site in a safe and efficient manner.
12.4 Stormwater
A Stormwater Management Plan and associated Grading Plans & Details has been prepared by Sagero for the development site. This includes a holistic approach covering both the petrol station and car wash.
Stormwater from the car wash and petrol filling station will be treated and detained on site before entering the public Stormwater network in Calton Road. The stormwater will then be piped to an existing detention basin which is located to the west of the Electranet easement.
The above arrangement is proposed to be rolled over once the broader stormwater management system or the entire Springwood development has been implemented.
12.5 Signage PDC 200 The location, siting, size, shape and materials of construction, of advertisements should be: (a) consistent with the desired character of areas or zones as described by their objectives; (b) consistent with the predominant character of the urban or rural landscape; or (c) in harmony with any building or site of historic significance or heritage value in the locality. PDC 201 Advertisements should not detrimentally affect by way of their siting, size, shape, scale, glare, reflection or colour the amenity of areas, zones, or localities, in which they are situated.
SCAP Agenda Item 2.2.2
12 March 2020
PDC 202 Advertisements should not impair the amenity of areas, zones, or localities, in which they are situated by creating, or adding to, clutter, visual disorder and the untidiness of buildings and spaces. PDC 204 The scale of advertisements should be compatible with the buildings on which they are situated and with nearby buildings and spaces. PDC 210 Advertisements should not obscure a driver's view of other road vehicles, of rail vehicles at or approaching level crossings, of pedestrians and of features of the road such as junctions, bends, changes in width, traffic control devices and the like that are potentially hazardous. PDC 211 Advertisements should not be so highly illuminated as to cause discomfort to an approaching driver, or create difficulty in his perception of the road, or of persons or objects on it. The proposed development includes the following signage:
• Three flat wall signs measuring 2.54m by 3.7m to be located on the northern, southern and eastern elevations of the proposed car wash;
• One ‘Car Wash’ flat wall sign measuring 4.99m by 0.9m to be located on the eastern elevation of the car wash building.
Overall, it is considered that there is an appropriate amount of signage proposed to the car wash facility. The proposed signage is of high quality design and will advertise the proposed carwash. The signage does not impair the amenity of the locality and will not result in visual clutter on the application site. Illumination of the signage will be controlled via condition to ensure that light intensity and overspill does not cause nuisance to adjacent occupiers or cause a distraction to drivers on adjacent public roads. CONCLUSION The application seeks to provide a car wash, which is considered to be an appropriate use in keeping with the general intent of the Mixed Use Policy Area 3. The concerns of the representors ranging from inappropriate land use, increase in noise, light spill, environmental factors, visual impact, fencing/retaining walls, traffic concerns and pedestrian safety issues have been satisfactorily addressed by the applicant. After considering the site and its context, plans and relevant technical reports from the applicant, Council and the community, and the suitability of the proposed use in the Residential Gawler East Zone, the proposal displays sufficient merit to warrant approval. 1. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the State Commission Assessment Panel:
1) RESOLVE that the proposed development is NOT seriously at variance with the policies in the Development Plan.
2) RESOLVE that the State Commission Assessment Panel is satisfied that the proposal generally accords with the related Objectives and Principles of Development Control of the Gawler (CT) Development Plan.

26 November 2019 REF No.: 00846-002
State Commission Assessment Panel
Level 5, 50 Flinders Street
ADELAIDE SA 5000
Attention: Ms Hannah Connell
By Email: [email protected]
Dear Hannah,
RE: DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR A PROPOSED CAR WASH AT SPRINGWOOD,
CALTON ROAD GAWLER EAST – PROPOSED LOTS 2044 & 2050 IN DA 490/D026/19
1. Background
Ekistics Planning & Design acts for Leyton Property Pty Ltd who are seeking to construct a car wash and vacuum
bays on proposed lots 2044 and 2050 at Calton Road, Gawler East. It is intended that the car wash will
complement a petrol filling station and shop which will be located on the same site and is progressing via a
separate development application (490/E008/19).
By letter dated 15 November 2018, the State Coordinator General advised that the State Commission
Assessment Panel (SCAP) would be the relevant authority to assess all of the remaining portions of the
Springwood development. This 'call-in' by the State Coordinator General was conditional on the development
proceeding via a series of 'Development Packages'. The first Development Package included a number of land
divisions as well as the Springwood Sales Centre and the Springwood 'Supermarket and Speciality Shops'.
Development Package 2 included an application for a petrol filling station (490/E008/19) as well as a separate
application for a childcare centre on proposed Lot 2048 (DA 490/E009/19). By email dated 8 November 2019,
the State Coordinator General confirmed that the proposed car wash could also be lodged as part of
Development Package 2 and assessed by SCAP (refer to Appendix 1).
This letter provides:
• Information in relation the subject land and locality;
• A description of the proposed development;
• An outline of the relevant procedural matters; and
• An assessment of the proposal against the key, relevant provisions of the Town of Gawler Development
Plan.
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 2
The assessment has been based on the following plans and documentation which also form part of the
Development Application and is appended as follows:
• Appendix 2: Proposed plans and elevations prepared by Brown Falconer Architects;
• Appendix 3: Traffic and Parking Report prepared by CIRQA Traffic Consultants;
• Appendix 4: Environmental Noise Assessment prepared by Sonus; and
• Appendix 5: Stormwater Management Plan prepared by Sagero.
Please note that Appendices 3 to 5 also refer to the proposed petrol filling station which, as mentioned
previously, is proceeding via a separate development application. This provides a clearer picture of how the site
will ultimately operate in terms of traffic movements, stormwater management and acoustic treatments.
2. Subject Site
The subject site comprises proposed Allotments 2044 and 2050 in Development Application 490/D026/19 see
Figures 2.1 and 2.2.
Figure 2.1 Associated land division – subject site is Lots 2044 and 2050
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 3
Figure 2.2 Associated land division (enlargement) – subject site is Lots 2044 and 2050
Proposed Lots 2044 and 2050 have a combined area of 4,075m2 and an irregular shape. The subject site has a
maximum depth of 50.37m and a maximum width of 94.53m. The subject site will sit on a prominent corner at
the junction of the Springwood north-south collector road and Calton Road.
3. Proposed Development
Description of Development
The proposed development involves the construction of a car wash and associated vacuum bays, signage and
landscaping. The car wash and vacuum bays will only operate between the hours of 7:00am and 10:00pm.
A copy of the architectural plans and elevations prepared by Brown Falconer architects are contained within
Appendix 2. Key features of the development are summarised below:
• A drive-through car wash consisting of four open manual bays, a plant room and two enclosed auto-
wash bays with a flat roof and precast concrete walls with a maximum height of 6.2 metres;
• Four vacuum bays to be located to the north of the car wash with vacuums on concrete plinths;
• 'Height bars' to be located to the south of the car wash to restrict the entry of 'over height' vehicles to
the auto-wash bays;
• A new crossover to the proposed north-south collector road providing left-in, right-in and left out
movements;
• A new crossover to Calton Road providing left in, right in and left out movements;
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 4
• Signage in the form of:
» Three flat wall signs measuring 2.54m by 3.7m to be located on the northern, southern and eastern
elevations of the proposed car wash;
» One ‘car wash’ flat wall sign measuring 4.99m by 0.9m to be located on the eastern elevation of the
car wash building;
• A stormwater management system which will manage water across the site and will include the
following elements:
» A Class 1 separator and treatment device such as a SPEL Puraceptor which will treat stormwater,
separate oils, grease and hydrocarbons and contain any spills;
» Three detention tanks each with a capacity of 23m3 which will be positioned after the SPEL
Puraceptor and prior to the managed discharge of treated water into the street water table on
Calton Road; and
• Landscaping around the site including mass plantings of bushes and shrubs along the road frontages
and around the buildings.
4. Procedural Matters
Relevant Authority
By letter dated 15 November 2018 and pursuant to Schedule 10(20) of the Development Regulations 2008, the
State Coordinator General has assigned the State Commission Assessment Panel (SCAP) as the relevant Planning
Authority. Further, by email dated 8 November 2019, the State Coordinator General confirmed that the
application for a car wash would also be assessed by SCAP (see Appendix 1).
Nature of Development
Based on the various components of the development described within Section 3.1 of this report, the
development application is perhaps best described as follows:
Car wash and vacuum bays with associated signage and landscaping.
A ‘car wash’ is an un-defined use as it is not listed within Schedule 1 of the Development Regulations 2008.
Similarly, within the ‘Procedural Matters’ section of the Residential (Gawler East) Zone, ‘car wash’ is neither
listed as ‘complying’ or ‘non-complying’. Consequently, the application is a consent development, to be
assessed on its merits against the relevant provisions of the Development Plan.
Public Notification
Principle of Development Control (PDC) 45 of the Residential (Gawler East) Zone provides the following
guidance in relation to public notification:
PDC 45 Categories of public notification are prescribed in Schedule 9 of the Development Regulations 2008.
Further, the following forms of development (except where the development is non-complying) are
designated:
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 5
Category 1
Fencing (including a combination of fencing and retaining walls) up to a maximum height of 2.8
metres
Category 2
All development listed within Principle of Development Control 1 of the Residential (Gawler East)
Zone, Mixed Use Policy Area 3 and Local Centre Policy Area 19.
Fencing (including a combination of fencing and retaining walls) with a height in excess of 2.8
metres.
We note that Schedule 9 of the Development Regulations 2008 does not specifically assign a category of
notification for a 'car wash' in the Residential (Gawler East) Zone. Therefore, it is necessary to refer to the lists
of envisaged forms of development contained within PDC 1 of the Zone and PDC 1 of the Policy Area to
determine the correct category of notification. Given that a 'car wash' is not listed as an envisaged form of
development in either the Zone or the Policy Area, it is not a Category 2 form of development. Therefore, the
proposal defaults to a ‘Category 3’ form of development for the purposes of public notification.
Agency Consultancy
Pursuant to Schedule 8 of the Development Regulations, the proposed development does not trigger any
referrals to Government Agencies. However, given that SCAP is the relevant Authority, the proposal will be
referred to the Town of Gawler for comments.
5. Planning Considerations
Overview
The subject site is located within the Town of Gawler and, accordingly, the relevant Development Plan is the
Gawler (CT) Development Plan – consolidated 18 July 2019. More specifically, the subject site is located within
the ‘Residential (Gawler East) Zone’, and the ‘Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3’.
The following section provides an assessment of the proposal against the Gawler (CT) Development Plan. For
convenience, this assessment has been grouped under a series of headings which reflect the key relevant
planning ‘themes’ from the Development Plan.
Land Use
The Residential (Gawler East) Zone contemplates a wide range of land uses within broadly defined areas that
are illustrated at a high-level on the Gawler East Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G. The
Structure Plan identifies areas that will be developed for residential uses as well as other areas that are
intended to be developed as a 'Mixed Use Centre' and 'Neighbourhood Centres'. This desired mix of land uses is
expressed within Objective (Obj) 1 and the Desired Character of the Zone as well as Obj 1 and the Desired
Character of the Policy Area:
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 6
Zone
Obj 1 A predominately residential area comprising a range of low and medium-density dwellings, with
associated integrated infrastructure, retail, commercial, recreational, educational and community
development in master-planned locations in accordance with Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1)
Enlargement G.
Desired Character (extract)
---
The zone will accommodate a diversity of housing forms. The Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 will comprise a
mix of residential development and a range of commercial, retail, educational, recreational and community
facilities. A smaller range of retail facilities, together with compact housing are anticipated within the Local
Centre Policy Area 19.
---
Policy Area
Obj 1: A functional and diverse zone accommodating a mix of commercial, retail, recreation, community,
residential, office, consulting rooms and educational uses.
Desired Character (extract)
Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 will accommodate retail, commercial, community, education and formal
recreation facilities and clubrooms to service the local community.
---
Low impact, commercial business activities that provide employment opportunities for the local population
are envisaged. Such development will need to have particular regard to ensuring that minimal off-site
impacts occur with respect to noise, air, water and waste emissions, commercial traffic generation and
movement.
---
Commercial business activities and retail facilities will be established in the Neighbourhood Centre area
indicated on Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G.
---
In addition, specific guidance in relation to envisaged land uses is provided in PDC 1 of the Policy Area. PDC 1
lists a 'petrol filling station' as an envisaged use but does not specifically identify all of the various elements that
are often associated with petrol filling stations – such as a car wash.
Given the proposed development's close connection to the proposed petrol filling station and given that the
Policy Area seeks a diverse mix of land uses (including commercial development), the car wash is an appropriate
land use on the subject site.
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 7
In terms of the strategic location of the proposed car wash, Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G
provides indicative, high-level direction for development within the Springwood development. In particular, it
provides indicative locations for a potential Neighbourhood Centre (see Figure 5.1). The proposed car wash and
other proposed development in the Springwood 'village centre' are located within the designated
Neighbourhood Centre nominated on the Structure Plan and reflect the alignment of the Gawler East Link Road.
For this reason, the location of the car wash is consistent with the strategic direction provided by the Structure
Plan.
Figure 5.1 Gawler East Structure Plan
Design and Appearance
The Development Plan contains a variety of provisions which seek to ensure that development is of a high
architectural standard, complements the character of the locality and minimises any visual impact on nearby
existing development. For example, the Desired Character of the Policy Area provides the following guidelines
in relation to the design and appearance of development.
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 8
Desired Character (extract)
---
In terms of urban design and built form, a ‘main street’ environment will be created, where buildings address
the street and car parks are primarily located to the rear. In order to minimise the overall extent of off street
parking shared car parking is encouraged, and the convenience, availability and function of on street parking
in mixed use environments will be recognised.
Gathering points for formal and informal community events will be established, either by means of a central
pedestrian plaza, a village green or series of nodes.
Commercial and mixed use buildings will be established close to the street frontage and incorporate verandas
and other protruding elements in order to create a pedestrian-friendly environment and outdoor dining
opportunities. These areas will be enhanced by large street trees, high quality paving, lighting and street
furniture. Building facades will be designed in a manner to create diversity of interest through the
appearance of an aggregation of smaller buildings.
The Desired Character of the Policy Area is reinforced by the following PDCs which seek to provide more specific
guidance in terms of the design and appearance of new buildings:
PDC 3 Development should be designed to ensure that:
(a) buildings are designed to address the street frontage with servicing areas located internal to the
centre and appropriately screened from public view;
(b) the establishment of shared car parking areas to the rear of buildings and on-street.
PDC 4 Public space established should be activated by uses around its edges.
PDC 5 Buildings should have a maximum of 5 storeys in height.
PDC 6 Development should not be undertaken unless it is consistent with the desired character for the policy
area.
The proposed car wash directly responds to the design and appearance provisions in the following ways:
• The buildings will address the Calton Road frontage of the site;
• Visual interest has been created through the use of a range of building materials and colours as well as
landscaping; and
• The proposed development will assist to activate the entrance to the Springwood development by
establishing a use where people and vehicles are frequently entering and exiting the site.
Additional guidance for the design, appearance and function of commercial development is provided in PDC 25
of the Council Wide section of the Development Plan:
PDC 25 Development or redevelopment within business, centre, shopping or mixed use zone or associated
policy areas, should:
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 9
(a) conform with the objectives and desired character of the zone or policy area;
(b) preserve buildings of historical or architectural significance;
(c) provide for the integration of existing and future facilities so as to promote ease of pedestrian
movement and sharing of facilities as well as to retain the opportunity for future expansion
within the zone.
(d) stage development taking into consideration any future expansion of the zone, or policy area, as
a whole.
(e) make multiple use of facilities and share utility spaces.
(f) unified design of buildings to produce a close relationship between uses in a lively setting.
(g) use materials compatible with the natural features of the site and adjacent buildings.
(h) be designed and laid out to avoid nuisance or hazard arising from:
(i) microclimatic conditions;
(ii) excessive noise;
(iii) odours;
(iv) overlooking;
(v) overshadowing; or
(vi) visual intrusion.
(i) be designed to be compatible with existing development through:
(i) a buffer between development in the zone and adjacent areas;
(ii) landscaping which complements adjacent development and enhances the visual appearance
and character of the zone;
(iii) pedestrian paths and spaces which are shaded, defined and protected from the wind; and
(iv) service yards, loading areas and outdoor storage areas which are screened;
(v) foster human scale, define spaces, reinforce paths and edges, screen utility areas, and
generally enhance the visual amenity of the area.
(j) ensure outdoor signs, both free-standing and attached to buildings, are located and designed in
such a way as to:
(i) be in scale with the development as a whole, the building therein, and the desired character
of the zone or policy area, or otherwise be compatible with the character of the locality;
(ii) not impair the view of or from nearby developments;
(iii) not distract attention from traffic control information; and
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 10
(iv) illumination from signs or floodlights should not spill over to adjacent areas.
(k) provide access and car parking for residential areas located within centres separate from the
access and car parking areas serving the other centre facilities.
(l) integrate of public transport requirements and sheltered waiting areas for passengers.
(m) provide retail showrooms for the trading of bulky goods on the periphery of centres, or in
designated precincts within zones or policy areas.
(n) provide:
(i) off-street loading, service areas and service vehicle manoeuvring areas;
(ii) lighting for buildings and ancillary areas, with no light-spill causing nuisance or hazard; and
(iii) unobtrusive facilities for storage and removal of waste materials;
(iv) parking, access and facilities for the disabled;
(v) public spaces such as malls, plazas and courtyards;
(vi) public facilities including toilets, infant changing facilities for parents, seating, telephones and
community information boards; and
(vii) design of buildings and infrastructure to minimise energy consumption for lighting, heating,
cooling and ventilation and reuse of stormwater.
The proposed development appropriately responds to PDC 25 in the following ways:
• Through the integration of facilities across the site and the broader Springwood 'village centre' to
ensure pedestrians can move between areas easily and conveniently;
• By establishing a unified design theme for the car wash on a prominent location at the entrance to the
'village centre' which responds to the overall Urban Design Masterplan for Springwood;
• Through the careful design and placement of the loading area, vehicular access and parking areas in
order to minimise the potential for conflict and ensure the free movement of traffic and pedestrians
through the development; and
• Through the design of the signage which is in scale with the development as a whole, which doesn't
impair the view of or from nearby developments and which will not cause a distraction for traffic.
Access and Parking
In order to address the relevant transportation and access provisions of the Development Plan, CIRQA Traffic
Consultants has been engaged to review the proposed development and provide a traffic and parking report
(Appendix 3). As mentioned previously, the CIRQA report also addresses the traffic and parking requirements of
the separate development application for the petrol filling station.
In terms of the supply of parking spaces, CIRQA has indicated that the majority of car parking will be
accommodated within the car wash facility itself as well as the adjacent queuing areas. In any event, two car
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 11
parking spaces will be provided near the vacuum bays which, in CIRQA's opinion, will easily accommodate the
parking demands of this element of the proposal.
CIRQA has also assessed the proposed access arrangements to Calton Road and the Gawler East Link Road and
has confirmed that the access points will comply with the requirements of the Australian Standards.
Based on CIRQA's assessment, the proposed development appropriately addresses the following key provisions
in the Council Wide section of the Development Plan in relation to transportation and access.
PDC 26 Provision for the movement of people and goods within business, centre, shopping or mixed
use zones or associated policy areas, should:
(a) not cause inconvenient and unsafe traffic and pedestrian movements;
(b) provide safe and convenient access for private cars, cyclists, pedestrians, service vehicles,
emergency vehicles and public utility vehicles;
(c) concentrate development for pedestrian convenience, and not extend unnecessarily along
road frontages; (increasing the depth of development is a more desirable alternative);
(d) separate pedestrian and vehicle movements within zones or areas, for pedestrian safety and
convenience.
(e) provide access points onto the arterial roads as shown on the relevant Structure Plans to:
minimize traffic hazards; queuing on the roads; right turn movements; and interference with
the function of intersections, junctions and traffic control devices.
(f) not cause congestion or detract from the safety of traffic on abutting roads, and minimize:
traffic hazards; queuing on public roads; and intrusion into adjacent residential areas.
(g) provide for service vehicles and the storage and removal of waste goods and materials.
(h) provide sufficient off-street parking to accommodate customer, employee and service
vehicles if there is insufficient public car parking in the locality.
(i) consolidate and co-ordinate parking areas into convenient groups, rather than located
individually, and the access points minimized, and so located and designed that:
(i) vehicular movement between them does not require the use of public roads;
(ii) the number of access points is minimized; and
(iii) it is not necessary for vehicles to back onto public roads.
(j) locate, design and orientate car parks in such a way as to facilitate safe, direct and
convenient access of pedestrians between them and the facilities they serve, safe and
convenient traffic circulation, minimal conflict between customer and service vehicles, and
should include adequate provision for manoeuvring into and out of parking bays.
(k) provide on-site parking determined by:
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 12
(i) the amount, type and timing of movement generated by the use;
(ii) the design, location and configuration of parking spaces;
(iii) the ability of the site to accommodate the parking spaces;
(iv) the potential for shared use of parking spaces; and
(v) the effect on surrounding activities and uses.
(l) share use of car parking between developments to reduce the total extent of car parking
areas.
(m) provide for landscaping in order to screen, shade and enhance the appearance of car parking
areas.
(n) ensure that all sources of noise, including refrigeration and air conditioning equipment,
garbage collection and car parking, do not cause excessive or disturbing noise at
neighbouring properties.
PDC 340 Development should provide safe and convenient access for all anticipated modes of transport
including cycling, walking, public and community transport, and motor vehicles.
PDC 362 Development should be consistent with Australian Standard AS 2890 Parking facilities.
Stormwater and Flooding Considerations
A site specific Stormwater Management Plan for the subject site has been prepared by Sagero (Appendix 5).
This plan complements and builds upon the overall Stormwater Management Plan for the entire Springwood
development which has been submitted with the land division applications. As mentioned previously, the
Sagero report also addresses stormwater requirements of the separate development application for the petrol
filling station.
The Stormwater Management Plan identifies how the proposed development will meet the Council's guidelines
in terms of detention. This will include the installation of a Class 1 separator and treatment device such as a
SPEL Puraceptor which will treat stormwater, separate oils, grease and hydrocarbons and contain any spills. In
addition, three detention tanks each with a capacity of 23m3 will be positioned after the SPEL Puraceptor and
prior to the managed discharge of treated water into the street water table on Calton Road.
For these reasons, the proposal addresses the key provisions under the Natural Resources heading in the
Council Wide Section of the Development Plan.
Obj 58: Storage and use of stormwater which avoids adverse impact on public health and safety.
PDC 150 Development should be sited and designed to:
(a) capture and re-use stormwater, where practical;
(b) minimise surface water runoff;
(c) prevent soil erosion and water pollution;
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 13
(d) protect and enhance natural water flows;
(e) protect water quality by providing adequate separation distances from watercourses and other
water bodies;
(f) not contribute to an increase in salinity levels;
(g) avoid the water logging of soil or the release of toxic elements;
(h) maintain natural hydrological systems and not adversely affect:
(i) the quantity and quality of groundwater;
(ii) the depth and directional flow of groundwater;
(iii) the quality and function of natural springs.
PDC 151 Water discharged from a development site should:
(a) be of a physical, chemical and biological condition equivalent to or better than its pre-developed
state;
(b) not exceed the rate of discharge from the site as it existed in pre-development conditions.
PDC 152 Development should include stormwater management systems to protect it from damage during a
minimum of a 1-in-100 year average return interval flood.
PDC 153 Development should have adequate provision to control any stormwater over-flow runoff from the site
and should be sited and designed to improve the quality of stormwater and minimise pollutant transfer
to receiving waters.
PDC 154 Development should include stormwater management systems to mitigate peak flows and manage the
rate and duration of stormwater discharges from the site to ensure the carrying capacities of
downstream systems are not overloaded.
PDC 155 Development should include stormwater management systems to minimise the discharge of sediment,
suspended solids, organic matter, nutrients, bacteria, litter and other contaminants to the stormwater
system.
PDC 157 Stormwater management systems should:
(a) maximise the potential for stormwater harvesting and re-use, either on-site or as close as
practicable to the source;
(b) utilise, but not be limited to, one or more of the following harvesting methods:
(i) the collection of roof water in tanks;
(ii) the discharge to open space, landscaping or garden areas, including strips adjacent to car
parks;
(iii) the incorporation of detention and retention facilities;
(iv) aquifer recharge.
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 14
Signage
The proposed development includes a number of signs which reflect the intended use of the site as a car wash.
The design, extent and size of the signage reflects the proposed use of the site without visually dominating the
associated buildings. Further, the proposed signage will:
• Complement the design of the building;
• Be contained within the boundaries of the site;
• Not affect existing street trees or obscure views to attractive landscaping;
• Not cause a distraction for drivers or obstruct their views of other vehicles; and
• Be limited to information relating to the proposed use of the land.
For these reasons, the signage satisfies the relevant provisions of the Development Plan.
Landscaping
A conceptual landscaping plan has been prepared for the development and is included with the architectural
plans contained in Appendix 2. The proposal includes landscaping around the perimeter of the site as well as
around the buildings. These landscaped areas will be planted with a range of species of bushes and
groundcovers which will complement the overall landscape theme of the Springwood development. More
specifically, the proposed landscaping will assist to soften the appearance of the buildings and hard stand areas
when viewed from the surrounding streets. Accordingly, the development satisfies PDC 25 of the Development
Plan which seeks:
PDC 25 Development or redevelopment within business, centre, shopping or mixed use zone or associated
policy areas, should:
---
(i) be designed to be compatible with existing development through:
(i) a buffer between development in the zone and adjacent areas;
(ii) landscaping which complements adjacent development and enhances the visual
appearance and character of the zone;
(iii) pedestrian paths and spaces which are shaded, defined and protected from the wind;
and
(iv) service yards, loading areas and outdoor storage areas which are screened;
(v) foster human scale, define spaces, reinforce paths and edges, screen utility areas, and
generally enhance the visual amenity of the area.
Interface Considerations
The subject site is located within the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 which clearly anticipates a neighbourhood
level centre (including a range of commercial development) in this area. Currently, the site and land to the
south is vacant but will be developed over time to create a master-planned community comprising residential
development supported by a range of non-residential land uses. On this basis, potential interface issues have
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 15
been carefully considered during the preparation of the Springwood masterplan and as part of the urban design
of the whole project.
Further to the above, the nearest residential development to the north of the site is separated and shielded
from the subject site by a 20m wide vegetated reserve running along the northern side of Calton Road.
Presumably, this reserve assisted to provide a visual and acoustic buffer between the residential area and the
former quarrying activities on the southern side of Calton Road. In any event, the vegetated buffer provides an
effective screen between the dwellings to the north and the subject site which will reduce any impacts
associated with noise and lights.
In addition, Sonus has prepared an Environmental Noise Assessment (Appendix 4) which assessed the proposed
development against the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 and the relevant 'interface' provisions of
the Development Plan. Sonus concludes that the proposed development will achieve the relevant noise criteria
expressed in the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 subject to a number of relatively modest
treatments which have generally been reflected on the architectural plans. In addition, Sonus has
recommended that the automatic and manual wash bays and the vacuums bays not be used between the hours
of 10pm and 7am. Similarly, Sonus has recommended that waste collection only occur between the hours of
9am and 7pm on a Sunday or public holiday and 7am and 7pm on any other day.
Sonus concludes as follows:
An environmental noise assessment has been made of the proposed development at the corner of Calton Road
and the Gawler East Link Road, Springwood.
The assessment considers noise levels at nearby existing residences from vehicle movements, car park activity,
fuel deliveries, automatic and manual wash bays, vacuum bays, rubbish collection and mechanical plant
servicing the facility.
The predicted noise levels from the development will achieve the relevant noise criteria, derived in accordance
with the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 subject to the treatments in this report, comprising;
• Installing doors to the automatic wash bays;
• Installing acoustic absorption within the manual wash bays;
• Upgrading the roof of the automatic wash bay and plant room;
• Screening the roof top plant and restricting its noise levels subject to a subsequent design
phase review;
• Reducing the noise from any alarms as far as practical;
• Ensuring all inspection points, grated trenches, etc. are correctly fixed;
• Restricting the times for rubbish collection and fuel deliveries; and
• Restricting the times for use of the wash facilities.
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 16
It is therefore considered that the facility has been designed to minimise adverse impacts, avoid unreasonable
interference on amenity, and will not detrimentally affect the locality by way of noise, thereby achieving the
relevant provisions of the Development Plan related to environmental noise.
For the reasons outlined above, the proposed development appropriately responds to the following relevant
interface provisions within the Development Plan:
Zone
PDC 34 Development should be designed and sited to minimise negative impact on existing and potential
future land uses considered appropriate in the locality.
Council Wide
Obj 42: Development located and designed to minimise adverse impact and conflict between land uses.
Obj 43: Protect community health and amenity from adverse impacts of development.
PDC 107 Development should not detrimentally affect the amenity of the locality or cause unreasonable
interference through any of the following:
(a) the emission of effluent, odour, smoke, fumes, dust or other airborne pollutants;
(b) noise;
(c) vibration;
(d) electrical interference;
(e) light spill;
(f) glare;
(g) hours of operation;
(h) traffic impacts.
PDC 108 Development should be sited and designed to minimise negative impacts on existing and potential
future land uses desired in the locality.
6. Conclusion
Following a detailed review of the proposed development against the relevant provisions of the Development
Plan, we have formed the opinion that the proposal warrants Development Plan Consent for the following
reasons:
• The proposed land use is consistent with the intent of the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 which seeks
a "… functional and diverse zone accommodating a mix of commercial, retail, recreation, community,
residential, office, consulting rooms and educational uses";
• The subject site is identified as a Neighbourhood Centre within the Gawler East Structure Plan Map
Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G as well as the Springwood Masterplan;
REF #00846-002 | 26 November 2019 17
• The location and design of the proposed development will complement other proposed development
in the Springwood 'village centre' such as the petrol filling station proposed to be co-located on the
subject site (forming part of a separate Development Application) as well as the supermarket and
specialty shops to the south (forming part of a separate Development Application);
• The proposed development has been designed to address Calton Road, and the building provides visual
interest through the use of a variety of building materials, complementary colours and articulation;
• A coordinated signage theme is proposed, with the signage reflective of the proposed use as a car
wash;
• The proposed development has been designed to accommodate safe and convenient movements for
vehicles, and the CIRQA report concludes that sufficient onsite parking will be provided to cater for the
anticipated parking demand;
• Stormwater will be managed and treated appropriately through the use of a SPEL Puraceptor (or
similar) and a series of detention tanks;
• Interface issues have been addressed appropriately to ensure that the proposed development will
achieve the criteria of the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 as demonstrated in the
Environmental Noise Assessment prepared by Sonus; and
• The proposed landscaping will assist to soften the appearance of the building and hardstand areas
when viewed from the adjoining streets which will assist to enhance the amenity of the locality
The proposed development is therefore highly aligned with the most relevant provisions of the Development
Plan and warrants Development Plan Consent, subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.

Subject: RE: CM: Springwood Applications [DLM=For-Official-Use-Only]
For Official Use Only
Warwick,
Thanks for your email and update on development applications. The decision to close the office was made by cabinet on the basis that once the PDI Act and regulations become operational across the state by mid-2020 the regulatory powers of the State Coordinator-General can be performed by staff in DPTI. I have informed the Premier that I will not be seeking a contract renewal beyond 31 December 2019. In moving forward, I have not made any plans.
It would appear that the Planning Officers in DPTI may have some issues with the current application hence the suggested approach. There will however be two application fees. As there is no variation to the land division proposed nor any variation in the operation of this use, I agree with proceeding with two applications rather than the current single application proposed.
Regards
Jim Hallion State Coordinator-General Office of the State Coordinator-General

1. INTRODUCTION
CIRQA has been engaged to provide design and assessment advice for the proposed petrol filling station and car wash at Calton Road, Springwood. This report provides a review of the subject site, the proposed development, its access and parking provisions and the associated traffic impact on the adjacent road network. The traffic and parking assessments have been based upon plans prepared by Brown Falconer (drawing no. 8888 DA02, refer Appendix A).
2. BACKGROUND
2.1 SUBJECT SITE
The subject site is located on the southern side of Calton Road and forms part of the broader Springwood residential development (which will also include supporting retail and commercial components). The site is currently vacant. Ultimately, the site will be bound by Calton Road to the north, a new collector road to the east and residential development to the south and west. The Town of Gawler’s Development Plan identifies that the site is located within the Residential (Gawler East) Zone. Figure 1 illustrates the location of the subject site and associated existing access points.

(Source: Brown Falconer, 2019)
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 2 of 8
2.2 ADJACENT ROAD NETWORK
Calton Road is a local road under the care and control of the Town of Gawler. Adjacent the site, Calton Road comprises a 6.6 m wide carriageway (approximate) with a single traffic lane in each direction. Traffic data indicates that Calton Road has an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) volume in the order of 4,600 to 5,000 vehicles per day (vpd), albeit are forecast to increase to 5,500 vpd on completion of the Springwood development. A 50 km/h speed limit applies on Calton Road. The future road (to east of the subject site) will be a collector road under the care and control of the Town of Gawler. It is understood that the collector road will comprise single traffic lanes in each direction separated by a central median (in the vicinity of the subject site). Traffic forecasts (prepared by others) indicate that the collector road will ultimately accommodate in the order of 6,500 vpd. A 50 km/h speed limit will apply on the collector road. The intersection of Calton Road and the collector road will be controlled with a single lane roundabout.
2.3 WALKING AND CYCLING
There are no footpaths provided on Calton Road. However, a shared pedestrian/cyclist path will be provided within the Springwood Estate verge on the southern side of Calton Road. No formal cycling facilities are provided on Calton Road. Cyclists are required to either share the traffic lane with vehicles or (in the future) ride on the dedicated shared pedestrian/cyclist path provided on the southern side.
2.4 PUBLIC TRANSPORT
There are no immediate public transport facilities, however the Gawler East Circuit bus service (clockwise loop) is provided within approximately 760 m in Cheek Avenue/Cork Road. This service connects with the Gawler Train Station, however, only operates Monday to Friday. Ultimately, it is anticipated that additional services will operate within the Springwood development.
3. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
3.1 LAND USE AND YIELD
The proposed development comprises the construction of a new petrol filling station. The petrol filling station will comprise eight domestic (light) vehicle fuel bowsers (in a ‘domino’ configuration) and an associated 190 m² convenience store. In addition, a car wash will be developed on the western portion of the petrol station site comprising two automatic car wash bays, three manual car
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 3 of 8
wash bays and six vacuum bays plus additional queuing areas behind the car wash bays.
3.2 ACCESS AND PARKING DESIGN
Access to the site is proposed to be provided via two two-way access points. One access will be left-in/right-in/left out to Calton Road while the second will be left-in/right-in/left-out only from the collector road. Simultaneous turning movements will be accommodated at both accesses. All vehicles will be able to enter and exit the site in a forward direction. Adequate storage will be provided at the fuel bowsers to ensure vehicles queued behind bowsers do not impact other movements into and out of the site as illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2 – Queuing provisions for bowsers closest to the access points
The site will be serviced by 12 parking spaces including one space for use by persons with disabilities. The parking area will comply with the requirements of the Australian/New Zealand Standard for “Parking Facilities – Part 1: Off-street car parking” (AS/NZS 2890.1:2004) and the Australian/New Zealand Standard for “Parking Facilities – Part 6: Off-street parking for people with disabilities” (AS/NZS 2890.6:2009) in that: • regular spaces will be 5.4 m long and 2.6 m wide;
• the parking space for use by persons with disabilities will be 2.4 m wide and 5.4 m long with an adjacent shared area of the same dimension; and
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 4 of 8
• a minimum aisle width of 6.2 m will be provided.
Two bicycle parking rails will be provided on-site (capable of accommodating two bicycles each).
3.3 COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SERVICING
Delivery and service movements would typically be undertaken outside of peak demand periods associated with the site and the peak commuter periods associated with the adjacent road network. Fuel tankers would be anticipated to access the site two to three times per week with additional movements made by medium and small rigid vehicles to service the retail store (say ten vehicles per week). The number of commercial movements is low and would easily be accommodated on site and on the adjacent road network. All vehicles (including commercial vehicles) will be able to enter and exit the site in a forward direction. Figure 3 illustrates the turn path of the largest vehicle anticipated to access the site (a 19 m Semi-Trailer tanker).
Figure 3 – 19.0 m Semi-Trailer tanker turn path into and out of the site
4. PARKING ASSESSMENT
4.1.1 PETROL FILLING STATION
The Town of Gawler’s Development Plan identifies a minimum parking rate of one space per service bay plus five spaces per 100 m² of retail floor space. Based upon the convenience store (retail) floor area of 190 m², there is a parking requirement for 9.5 parking spaces (no service bays are proposed on-site). The
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 5 of 8
proposed provision of 10 spaces therefore exceeds the requirement of the Development Plan for the petrol filling station component. In reality, recent survey data for petrol filling stations indicates lower demand rates than that suggested by the Development Plan and the peak demand associated with the site will likely be lower than forecast above.
4.1.2 CAR WASH FACILITY
No parking rate is identified for car wash facilities in the Town of Gawler’s Development Plan. In reality, the majority of demand associated with the car wash facility will be accommodated in the bays themselves (12 spaces) and adjacent queuing areas rather than separate parking spaces. There would be minimal demand for separate parking spaces associated with this component of the proposal, other than an occasional requirement for maintenance staff parking. The provision of two spaces for the car wash will easily accommodate demands associated with this component. On the basis of the above assessment, it is considered that more than sufficient car parking will be provided as part of the proposal.
4.2 BICYCLE PARKING
The Development Plan does not provide a specific rate for the provision of bicycle parking at petrol filling stations (or similar uses). The proposal includes the provision of two bicycle parking rails (capable of accommodating four bicycles). Such a provision is considered adequate for the proposed use.
5. TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT
5.1 TRAFFIC GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
5.1.1 PETROL FILLING STATION
The NSW Roads and Traffic Authority’s (now Roads and Maritime Services) “Guide to Traffic Generating Developments” identifies two trip generation formulae for developments classified as “service stations and convenience stores”, dependant on site area and gross floor area of an associated convenience store (if applicable). These formulae are listed as: (1) Evening peak hour trips = 0.04 A(S) + 0.3 A(F); or
(2) Evening peak hour trips = 0.66 A(F); where:
A(S) = area of site (m²); and A(F) = gross floor area of convenience store (m²). Based upon the above formulae, an approximate site area (for the petrol station component) of 2,450 m² and a convenience store gross floor area of 190 m², it is
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 6 of 8
forecast that the site could generate between 125 trips (formula 2) and 155 trips (formula 1) in the pm (evening) peak hour. In addition, it is commonly accepted that in the order of 70% of vehicle trips associated with petrol filling stations are related to passing trade (i.e. vehicles already on the road network), with the remaining 30% of vehicle trips considered to be additional trips on the adjacent road network. This equates to a pm trip generation of approximately 109 trips associated with “passing trade” and 46 trips associated with additional (new) movements (based on the higher of the above rates).
5.1.2 CAR WASH FACILITIES
The RTA Guide provides no rate specific to car wash facilities. It is, therefore, common to assess such uses on a ‘first principles’ basis. A single automated car wash typically has a service rate of between 5 to 10 minutes per vehicle. On this basis, the two automatic car wash bays could service between 12 and 24 vehicles in a single hour. A single manual car wash has a lower service rate of approximately one car every 15 minutes. Therefore, the manual car wash bays could service approximately 16 vehicles per hour. The vacuum bays are then utilised by patrons associated with the automatic and manual car washes and generally don’t generate additional traffic (above that already associated with the car wash bays). On the basis of the above, the car wash facilities could service up to 36 vehicles in an hour (at full occupancy). As with the petrol station, it is assumed that a reasonable proportion of the traffic generated by these facilities will be passing. In reality, the level of traffic generated by the wash facilities would be below its theoretical capacity (particularly during the peak commuter hours when use of such a facility would be relatively low). Furthermore, a proportion of trips generated by the wash facilities would also likely to be associated (shared) with the petrol filling station.
5.1.3 TOTAL TRAFFIC
On the basis of the above, it is conservatively forecast that there will be in the order of 110 ‘passing trade’ trips and 80 additional (‘new’) trips associated with the overall development in the peak hour. It is anticipated that these movements will be relatively evenly distributed between Calton Road (to/from the west of the site) and the collector road (to/from the south of the site) with only a small proportion of movements distributed to/from the east along Calton Road.
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 7 of 8
5.2 TRAFFIC IMPACT
The potential traffic generation associated with future commercial development on the subject site was included as part of previous traffic assessments prepared for the broader Springwood development. The analysis of the overall traffic impacts has therefore considered the impact of the development of the site and the future road network and infrastructure interventions have been designed accordingly. Detailed analysis of the traffic impact of the proposal is therefore not warranted. Nevertheless, it is noted that right-turn out movements from the site will be restricted (by central median on both frontage roads). This will minimise impacts on through bound movements on Calton Road and the collector road, and maximise safety at the site access points. Drivers wishing to head right-out on Calton Road or right-out on the collector road will be able to undertake a left-out of the collector road access point and then utilise the roundabout to complete their desired journey. The remaining movements at the access points are low conflict movements. There will be adequate sight distance provisions and drivers will be able to safely and appropriately enter and exit the traffic stream. Separated right-turn treatments are also proposed to minimise impact of right turning vehicles on through bound movements on the adjacent roads. On the basis of the above, it is considered that the impact of the proposal on the adjacent road network will be minimal (particularly given the broader assessment and associated road layout has taken into account the potential development of the site).
6. SUMMARY
The proposed development at Calton Road, Springwood, comprises the construction of a new petrol filling station, associated shop and a car wash facility. Access to the site will be provided via separate access points on Calton Road and on the collector road (with right-out movements restricted). The parking areas and associated access points will comply with the requirements of the Australian Standards. An assessment of parking demands identified that the provision of 12 parking spaces will adequately satisfy the parking demand associated with the petrol filling station and the car wash. The proposal is forecast to generate approximately 80 additional peak hour movements on the adjacent roads (excluding passing trade). However, the traffic generation of the site has previously been taken into account with the previous assessments for the broader Springwood development. Accordingly, the forecast traffic generation is considered to be within the capacity of the adjacent
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 8 of 8
roads and intersections. The movements associated with the site will be readily accommodated at the site’s access points and on the adjacent road network.

INTRODUCTION
An environmental noise assessment has been made of the proposed development at the corner of Calton
Road & the Gawler East Link Road, Springwood.
The development comprises a service station facility which includes a control building, car parking, automatic
and manual wash bays, vacuum bays and landscaping.
The closest existing noise sensitive locations to the site are the residences located to the north on the
opposite side of Calton Road and further to the east on the opposite side of the proposed Gawler East Link
Road, as shown in Appendix A. The site is within a mixed use policy area which will be the subject of future
development. The assessment therefore considers noise levels at the existing residences only from the
following activity:
On-site vehicle movements;
General car park activity;
Automatic and manual car wash bays;
Vacuum bays;
Fuel deliveries;
Rubbish collection; and,
Mechanical plant servicing the facility.
The assessment has been based on:
Brown Falconer drawings of the proposal with job number “2018001”, drawing numbers “DA01” to
“DA05” inclusive and dated August 2019;
Operating hours of the facility being up to 24 hours per day, 7 days per week with the exception of
the automatic and manual wash bays and vacuum bays;
The assumption that;
o The site will have no LPG facilities; and,
o The automatic and manual wash bays and vacuum bays will not operate at night.
Previous noise measurements and manufacturer noise data from similar sites, including plant and
equipment, car parking activity, car wash and vacuum bay operation and fuel delivery.

CRITERIA
Development Plan
The subject site is located within the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area of the Residential (Gawler East) Zone
within the Gawler Council Development Plan1 (the Development Plan). The nearest existing residences on the
opposite side of Calton Road are located within the Residential Zone, while the residences to the east are
within the Residential (Gawler East) Zone. The Development Plan has been reviewed and the following
provisions considered relevant to the noise assessment.
Interface Between Land Uses
Objective 42: Development located and designed to minimise adverse impact and conflict between land
uses.
Objective 43: Protect community health and amenity from adverse impacts of development.
Objective 44: Protect desired land uses from the encroachment of incompatible development.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
107 Development should not detrimentally affect the amenity of the locality or cause
unreasonable interference through any of the following:
(b) noise;
108 Development should be sited and designed to minimise negative impacts on existing and
potential future land uses desired in the locality.
111 Sensitive uses likely to conflict with the continuation of lawfully existing developments and
land uses desired for the zone should be designed to minimise negative impacts.
112 Non-residential development on land abutting a residential zone should be designed to
minimise noise impacts to achieve adequate levels of compatibility between existing and
proposed uses.

Retail Development - Springwood Environmental Noise Assessment S6185C3 September 2019

Noise Generating Activities
113 Development that emits noise (other than music noise) should include noise attenuation
measures that achieve the relevant Environment Protection (Noise) Policy criteria when
assessed at the nearest existing noise sensitive premises.
114 Development with the potential to emit significant noise (e.g. industry) should incorporate
noise attenuation measures that prevent noise from causing unreasonable interference with
the amenity of noise sensitive premises.
Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007
Interface between Land Uses PDC 113 from the Development Plan references the Environment Protection
(Noise) Policy 2007, which provides goal noise levels to be achieved at residences from general activity at a
site and specific provisions for other activity such as rubbish collection.
The Policy is based on the World Health Organisation Guidelines to prevent annoyance, sleep disturbance
and unreasonable interference on the amenity of an area. Therefore, compliance with the Policy is
considered to be sufficient to satisfy all provisions of the Development Plan relating to environmental noise.
Rubbish Collection
The Policy deals with rubbish collection by effectively limiting the hours to the least sensitive period of the
day. Division 3 of the Policy requires rubbish collection to only occur between the hours of 9am and 7pm on
Sundays or public holidays, and between 7am and 7pm on any other day, except where it can be shown that
the maximum (Lmax) noise level from such activity is less than 60 dB(A).
General Activity other than Rubbish Collection
The Policy provides goal noise levels to be achieved at residences based on the principally promoted land use
of the Development Plan zones in which the noise source (the development) and the noise receivers
(residences) are located.
Retail Development - Springwood Environmental Noise Assessment S6185C3 September 2019
Page 6
sonus.
Based on the principally promoted land uses in the Development Plan, the following goal noise levels are
provided by the Policy to be achieved at all existing residences:
An average (Leq) noise level of 50 dB(A) during the day time (7am to 10pm);
An average (Leq) noise level of 43 dB(A) during the night time (10pm to 7am); and,
A maximum (Lmax) noise level of 60 dB(A) during the night time.
When measuring or predicting noise levels for comparison with the Policy, adjustments may be made to the
average goal noise levels for each “annoying” characteristic of tone, impulse, low frequency, and modulation
of the noise source. The characteristic must be dominant in the existing acoustic environment and therefore
the application of a penalty varies depending on the assessment location, time of day, the noise source being
assessed, and the predicted noise level. The application of penalties is discussed further in the Assessment
section of this report.

ASSESSMENT
The noise level at the existing residences from the proposed site activity has been predicted based on a range
of previous noise measurements and observations at similar facilities. These include:
Car park activity such as people talking as they vacate or approach their vehicles, the opening and
closing of vehicle doors, vehicles starting, vehicles idling, and vehicles moving into and accelerating
away from their park position;
General vehicle movements and idling on site;
Automatic and manual wash bays and the associated plant room;
Vacuum bays;
Fuel delivery trucks; and,
Mechanical plant serving the control building.
At the Development Application stage of a project, it is usual practice that the mechanical plant is not yet
designed or selected. Therefore, the assessment has considered typical air conditioning, refrigeration and
exhaust fans operating at other similar facilities to provide an indicative assessment.
Noise predictions have been made based on manufacturer’s data and previous noise measurements of the
following indicative air conditioning and refrigeration equipment;

The final design should ensure the relevant goal noise levels of the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy
2007 are achieved at all residences when accounting for the other noise sources on the site.
The sound power levels for the above activities are provided as Appendix D.
Rubbish Collection
In order for rubbish collection to achieve the requirements of the Policy, the hours for collection should be
restricted to that of Division 3 of the Policy. That is, rubbish collection should only be between the hours of
9am and 7pm on a Sunday or public holiday, and 7am and 7pm on any other day.

General Activity
The predictions of noise from sources other than rubbish collection at the facility have been based on the
following operational assumptions for the level of activity in any 15-minute2 period:
during the day (7am to 10pm):
o continuous operation of all mechanical plant on the control building roof;
o 15 vehicle movements through the site using the petrol filling stations;
o A stationary vehicle idling continuously at half of the refuelling bays (while waiting to use the
filling station);
o 8 vehicle movements through the site using the car park bays or car wash facilities;
o A stationary vehicle idling continuously at both of the automatic car washes (while waiting to
use the wash bay);
o Continuous operation of both automatic car wash bays;
o 5 minutes of high pressure spray in each of the manual wash bays;
o Continuous use of 2 vacuum units; and,
o A single fuel delivery.
During the night (10pm to 7am):
o continuous operation of all mechanical plant on the control building roof;
o 10 vehicle movements through the site using the petrol filling stations; and,
o 5 vehicle movements through the site using the car park bays.
Based on the above, the following acoustic treatments are recommended for the site to achieve the goal
noise levels of the Policy:

Car Wash & Vacuum Bays
Ensure that the automatic and manual wash bays and vacuum bays are not used during the
night time hours of the Policy (10pm to 7am);
As has been documented, install glass doors (minimum 10.38mm thick laminated glass) to the
entry and exit of the automatic car washes, which automatically before the wash cycle starts
and do not open until the dry cycle has finished. Roller door brush seals should be installed to
the doors to seal as close as possible to air tight when closed;
As has been documented, install acoustic absorption material to the walls of the manual wash
bays. Minimum 50mm thick polyester insulation of 32kg/m3 density may be used in
accordance with the following detail to provide weather proofing, or a proprietary weather
proof product with a minimum NRC rating of 0.8 may be used without the weather proofing
detail.
In addition to the above, install acoustic absorption material to the underside of the manual wash
bay ceiling to the same specification as the wall treatment. The absorption may be held in place by
any material with a minimum open area of 15%.
Ensure the roof of the automatic car washes and the plant room incorporate a layer of 9mm thick
compressed fibre cement sheet, with 50mm thick acoustic insulation having a minimum density of
32 kg/m3 laid over the top (between the ceiling and the sheet metal roof deck).
50mm thick acoustic insulation with a minimum density of 32 kg/m

The insulation should be installed to the full area of the wall.
Wash bay wall
Perforated material with an open area greater than 15%, spaced from the insulation to provide weather proofing. Examples of the products are perforated sheet steel, etc.

General Activity
Restrict fuel deliveries to the daytime hours of the Policy. That is, between 7am and 10pm
only;
Should amplified music played outdoors be proposed, it should be set at a level which is
inaudible at any dwelling at any time.
Reduce noise from any alarms produced by site equipment, such as for compressed air,
carwash bays or vacuum bays as far as practical.
Ensure there are no irregularities on the site and all inspection points, grated trenches, etc. are
correctly fixed to remove the potential for impact noise being generated when driven over.
Should a solid fence, such as “Colorbond” sheet steel, be constructed for the portion shown
below for other reasons, then acoustic absorption material should be installed to the same
specification as the manual car wash wall treatment on the site side of the fence for its full
extent. Should an acoustically open fence, such as tubular steel, be proposed, no further
treatment will be required.
Retail Development - Springwood Environmental Noise Assessment S6185C3 September 2019

sonus.
Mechanical Plant
Locate all mechanical plant (other than for the car wash facilities) on the control building
roof;
Construct a barrier between the roof top plant and the residences to the north (on the opposite
side of Calton Road), which is at least the same height as the tallest condensing unit and is
constructed from a minimum 0.42 BMT sheet metal (Colorbond) or an acoustic equivalent.
If a barrier is constructed on the opposite side of the units (southern side), the construction
should incorporate acoustic absorption material to the same specification as the manual wash
bay wall treatment to the full extent on the plant side of the barrier
The noise level and any acoustic treatment associated with mechanical plant should be reviewed during the
detailed design phase, should the final equipment selections have different sound power levels or should a
different number of units be proposed to those specified within this report.
With the inclusion of the acoustic treatments described above and the assumed level of activity at the site,
the predicted average (Leq) noise levels at the existing residences are no more than 50 dB(A) during the day
time and 42 dB(A) during the night. Given the potential for low noise levels in the environment and
modulating vehicle noise to be audible for periods during the night time when there is limited activity on
Calton Road & the Gawler East Link Road but activity on the site, a 5 dB(A) penalty has been added to the
night time predicted noise level which conservatively applies to all activity after 10pm and before 7am. That
is, the predicted noise level at night of 37 dB(A) has been penalised to become 42 dB(A).
Based on the above, the goal noise levels of 50 dB(A) during the day time and 43 dB(A) during the night time
are predicted to be achieved at all existing residences.
In addition, based on the inclusion of the acoustic treatment described above, the predicted maximum noise
level at any existing residence is no more than 54 dB(A), therefore achieving the Policy requirement of
60 dB(A) for night time activity.

CONCLUSION
An environmental noise assessment has been made of the proposed development at the corner of Calton
Road and the Gawler East Link Road, Springwood.
The assessment considers noise levels at nearby existing residences from vehicle movements, car park
activity, fuel deliveries, automatic and manual wash bays, vacuum bays, rubbish collection and mechanical
plant servicing the facility.
The predicted noise levels from the development will achieve the relevant noise criteria, derived in
accordance with the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 subject to the treatments in this report,
comprising;
Installing doors to the automatic wash bays;
Installing acoustic absorption within the manual wash bays;
Upgrading the roof of the automatic wash bay and plant room;
Screening the roof top plant and restricting its noise levels subject to a subsequent design phase
review;
Reducing the noise from any alarms as far as practical;
Ensuring all inspection points, grated trenches, etc. are correctly fixed;
Restricting the times for rubbish collection and fuel deliveries; and
Restricting the times for use of the wash facilities.
It is therefore considered that the facility has been designed to minimise adverse impacts, avoid
unreasonable interference on amenity, and will not detrimentally affect the locality by way of noise, thereby
achieving the relevant provisions of the Development Plan related to environmental noise.

1. INTRODUCTION
CIRQA has been engaged to provide design and assessment advice for the
proposed petrol filling station and car wash at Calton Road, Springwood.
This report provides a review of the subject site, the proposed development, its
access and parking provisions and the associated traffic impact on the adjacent
road network. The traffic and parking assessments have been based upon plans
prepared by Brown Falconer (drawing no. 8888 DA02, refer Appendix A).
2. BACKGROUND
2.1 SUBJECT SITE
The subject site is located on the southern side of Calton Road and forms part of
the broader Springwood residential development (which will also include
supporting retail and commercial components). The site is currently vacant.
Ultimately, the site will be bound by Calton Road to the north, a new collector road
to the east and residential development to the south and west. The Town of
Gawler’s Development Plan identifies that the site is located within the
Residential (Gawler East) Zone.
Figure 1 illustrates the location of the subject site and associated existing access
points.

(Source: Brown Falconer, 2019)
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 2 of 8
2.2 ADJACENT ROAD NETWORK
Calton Road is a local road under the care and control of the Town of Gawler.
Adjacent the site, Calton Road comprises a 6.6 m wide carriageway (approximate)
with a single traffic lane in each direction. Traffic data indicates that Calton Road
has an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) volume in the order of 4,600 to 5,000
vehicles per day (vpd), albeit are forecast to increase to 5,500 vpd on completion
of the Springwood development. A 50 km/h speed limit applies on Calton Road.
The future road (to east of the subject site) will be a collector road under the care
and control of the Town of Gawler. It is understood that the collector road will
comprise single traffic lanes in each direction separated by a central median (in
the vicinity of the subject site). Traffic forecasts (prepared by others) indicate
that the collector road will ultimately accommodate in the order of 6,500 vpd. A
50 km/h speed limit will apply on the collector road.
The intersection of Calton Road and the collector road will be controlled with a
single lane roundabout.
2.3 WALKING AND CYCLING
There are no footpaths provided on Calton Road. However, a shared
pedestrian/cyclist path will be provided within the Springwood Estate verge on
the southern side of Calton Road.
No formal cycling facilities are provided on Calton Road. Cyclists are required to
either share the traffic lane with vehicles or (in the future) ride on the dedicated
shared pedestrian/cyclist path provided on the southern side.
2.4 PUBLIC TRANSPORT
There are no immediate public transport facilities, however the Gawler East
Circuit bus service (clockwise loop) is provided within approximately 760 m in
Cheek Avenue/Cork Road. This service connects with the Gawler Train Station,
however, only operates Monday to Friday. Ultimately, it is anticipated that
additional services will operate within the Springwood development.
3. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
3.1 LAND USE AND YIELD
The proposed development comprises the construction of a new petrol filling
station. The petrol filling station will comprise eight domestic (light) vehicle fuel
bowsers (in a ‘domino’ configuration) and an associated 190 m² convenience
store. In addition, a car wash will be developed on the western portion of the
petrol station site comprising two automatic car wash bays, three manual car
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 3 of 8
wash bays and six vacuum bays plus additional queuing areas behind the car
wash bays.
3.2 ACCESS AND PARKING DESIGN
Access to the site is proposed to be provided via two two-way access points.
One access will be left-in/right-in/left out to Calton Road while the second will be
left-in/right-in/left-out only from the collector road. Simultaneous turning
movements will be accommodated at both accesses. All vehicles will be able to
enter and exit the site in a forward direction.
Adequate storage will be provided at the fuel bowsers to ensure vehicles queued
behind bowsers do not impact other movements into and out of the site as
illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2 – Queuing provisions for bowsers closest to the access points
The site will be serviced by 12 parking spaces including one space for use by
persons with disabilities. The parking area will comply with the requirements of
the Australian/New Zealand Standard for “Parking Facilities – Part 1: Off-street
car parking” (AS/NZS 2890.1:2004) and the Australian/New Zealand Standard for
“Parking Facilities – Part 6: Off-street parking for people with disabilities” (AS/NZS
2890.6:2009) in that:
regular spaces will be 5.4 m long and 2.6 m wide;
the parking space for use by persons with disabilities will be 2.4 m wide and
5.4 m long with an adjacent shared area of the same dimension; and
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 4 of 8
a minimum aisle width of 6.2 m will be provided.
Two bicycle parking rails will be provided on-site (capable of accommodating two
bicycles each).
3.3 COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SERVICING
Delivery and service movements would typically be undertaken outside of peak
demand periods associated with the site and the peak commuter periods
associated with the adjacent road network. Fuel tankers would be anticipated to
access the site two to three times per week with additional movements made by
medium and small rigid vehicles to service the retail store (say ten vehicles per
week). The number of commercial movements is low and would easily be
accommodated on site and on the adjacent road network. All vehicles (including
commercial vehicles) will be able to enter and exit the site in a forward direction.
Figure 3 illustrates the turn path of the largest vehicle anticipated to access the
site (a 19 m Semi-Trailer tanker).
Figure 3 – 19.0 m Semi-Trailer tanker turn path into and out of the site
4. PARKING ASSESSMENT
4.1.1 PETROL FILLING STATION
The Town of Gawler’s Development Plan identifies a minimum parking rate of one
space per service bay plus five spaces per 100 m² of retail floor space. Based
upon the convenience store (retail) floor area of 190 m², there is a parking
requirement for 9.5 parking spaces (no service bays are proposed on-site). The
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 5 of 8
proposed provision of 10 spaces therefore exceeds the requirement of the
Development Plan for the petrol filling station component. In reality, recent survey
data for petrol filling stations indicates lower demand rates than that suggested
by the Development Plan and the peak demand associated with the site will likely
be lower than forecast above.
4.1.2 CAR WASH FACILITY
No parking rate is identified for car wash facilities in the Town of Gawler’s
Development Plan. In reality, the majority of demand associated with the car
wash facility will be accommodated in the bays themselves (12 spaces) and
adjacent queuing areas rather than separate parking spaces. There would be
minimal demand for separate parking spaces associated with this component of
the proposal, other than an occasional requirement for maintenance staff
parking. The provision of two spaces for the car wash will easily accommodate
demands associated with this component.
On the basis of the above assessment, it is considered that more than sufficient
car parking will be provided as part of the proposal.
4.2 BICYCLE PARKING
The Development Plan does not provide a specific rate for the provision of bicycle
parking at petrol filling stations (or similar uses). The proposal includes the
provision of two bicycle parking rails (capable of accommodating four bicycles).
Such a provision is considered adequate for the proposed use.
5. TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT
5.1 TRAFFIC GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
5.1.1 PETROL FILLING STATION
The NSW Roads and Traffic Authority’s (now Roads and Maritime Services) “Guide
to Traffic Generating Developments” identifies two trip generation formulae for
developments classified as “service stations and convenience stores”,
dependant on site area and gross floor area of an associated convenience store
(if applicable). These formulae are listed as:
(1) Evening peak hour trips = 0.04 A(S) + 0.3 A(F); or
(2) Evening peak hour trips = 0.66 A(F); where:
A(S) = area of site (m²); and
A(F) = gross floor area of convenience store (m²).
Based upon the above formulae, an approximate site area (for the petrol station
component) of 2,450 m² and a convenience store gross floor area of 190 m², it is
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 6 of 8
forecast that the site could generate between 125 trips (formula 2) and 155 trips
(formula 1) in the pm (evening) peak hour.
In addition, it is commonly accepted that in the order of 70% of vehicle trips
associated with petrol filling stations are related to passing trade (i.e. vehicles
already on the road network), with the remaining 30% of vehicle trips considered
to be additional trips on the adjacent road network. This equates to a pm trip
generation of approximately 109 trips associated with “passing trade” and 46
trips associated with additional (new) movements (based on the higher of the
above rates).
5.1.2 CAR WASH FACILITIES
The RTA Guide provides no rate specific to car wash facilities. It is, therefore,
common to assess such uses on a ‘first principles’ basis. A single automated car
wash typically has a service rate of between 5 to 10 minutes per vehicle. On this
basis, the two automatic car wash bays could service between 12 and 24 vehicles
in a single hour. A single manual car wash has a lower service rate of
approximately one car every 15 minutes. Therefore, the manual car wash bays
could service approximately 16 vehicles per hour. The vacuum bays are then
utilised by patrons associated with the automatic and manual car washes and
generally don’t generate additional traffic (above that already associated with
the car wash bays). On the basis of the above, the car wash facilities could
service up to 36 vehicles in an hour (at full occupancy). As with the petrol station,
it is assumed that a reasonable proportion of the traffic generated by these
facilities will be passing.
In reality, the level of traffic generated by the wash facilities would be below its
theoretical capacity (particularly during the peak commuter hours when use of
such a facility would be relatively low). Furthermore, a proportion of trips
generated by the wash facilities would also likely to be associated (shared) with
the petrol filling station.
5.1.3 TOTAL TRAFFIC
On the basis of the above, it is conservatively forecast that there will be in the
order of 110 ‘passing trade’ trips and 80 additional (‘new’) trips associated with
the overall development in the peak hour.
It is anticipated that these movements will be relatively evenly distributed
between Calton Road (to/from the west of the site) and the collector road
(to/from the south of the site) with only a small proportion of movements
distributed to/from the east along Calton Road.
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 7 of 8
5.2 TRAFFIC IMPACT
The potential traffic generation associated with future commercial development
on the subject site was included as part of previous traffic assessments prepared
for the broader Springwood development. The analysis of the overall traffic
impacts has therefore considered the impact of the development of the site and
the future road network and infrastructure interventions have been designed
accordingly. Detailed analysis of the traffic impact of the proposal is therefore
not warranted.
Nevertheless, it is noted that right-turn out movements from the site will be
restricted (by central median on both frontage roads). This will minimise impacts
on through bound movements on Calton Road and the collector road, and
maximise safety at the site access points. Drivers wishing to head right-out on
Calton Road or right-out on the collector road will be able to undertake a left-out
of the collector road access point and then utilise the roundabout to complete
their desired journey. The remaining movements at the access points are low
conflict movements. There will be adequate sight distance provisions and drivers
will be able to safely and appropriately enter and exit the traffic stream.
Separated right-turn treatments are also proposed to minimise impact of right
turning vehicles on through bound movements on the adjacent roads.
On the basis of the above, it is considered that the impact of the proposal on the
adjacent road network will be minimal (particularly given the broader assessment
and associated road layout has taken into account the potential development of
the site).
6. SUMMARY
The proposed development at Calton Road, Springwood, comprises the
construction of a new petrol filling station, associated shop and a car wash
facility. Access to the site will be provided via separate access points on Calton
Road and on the collector road (with right-out movements restricted). The
parking areas and associated access points will comply with the requirements of
the Australian Standards.
An assessment of parking demands identified that the provision of 12 parking
spaces will adequately satisfy the parking demand associated with the petrol
filling station and the car wash.
The proposal is forecast to generate approximately 80 additional peak hour
movements on the adjacent roads (excluding passing trade). However, the traffic
generation of the site has previously been taken into account with the previous
assessments for the broader Springwood development. Accordingly, the
forecast traffic generation is considered to be within the capacity of the adjacent
CIRQA\\Projects\19158 Service Station and Car Wash Calton Road Springwood 10Sep19 V1.docx Page 8 of 8
roads and intersections. The movements associated with the site will be readily
accommodated at the site’s access points and on the adjacent road network.

INTRODUCTION
An environmental noise assessment has been made of the proposed development at the corner of Calton
Road & the Gawler East Link Road, Springwood.
The development comprises a service station facility which includes a control building, car parking, automatic
and manual wash bays, vacuum bays and landscaping.
The closest existing noise sensitive locations to the site are the residences located to the north on the
opposite side of Calton Road and further to the east on the opposite side of the proposed Gawler East Link
Road, as shown in Appendix A. The site is within a mixed use policy area which will be the subject of future
development. The assessment therefore considers noise levels at the existing residences only from the
following activity:
· On-site vehicle movements;
· General car park activity;
· Automatic and manual car wash bays;
· Vacuum bays;
· Fuel deliveries;
· Rubbish collection; and,
· Mechanical plant servicing the facility.
The assessment has been based on:
· Brown Falconer drawings of the proposal with job number “2018001”, drawing numbers “DA01” to
“DA05” inclusive and dated August 2019;
· Operating hours of the facility being up to 24 hours per day, 7 days per week with the exception of
the automatic and manual wash bays and vacuum bays;
· The assumption that;
o The site will have no LPG facilities; and,
o The automatic and manual wash bays and vacuum bays will not operate at night.
· Previous noise measurements and manufacturer noise data from similar sites, including plant and
equipment, car parking activity, car wash and vacuum bay operation and fuel delivery.

CRITERIA
Development Plan
The subject site is located within the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area of the Residential (Gawler East) Zone
within the Gawler Council Development Plan1 (the Development Plan). The nearest existing residences on the
opposite side of Calton Road are located within the Residential Zone, while the residences to the east are
within the Residential (Gawler East) Zone. The Development Plan has been reviewed and the following
provisions considered relevant to the noise assessment.
Interface Between Land Uses
Objective 42: Development located and designed to minimise adverse impact and conflict between land
uses.
Objective 43: Protect community health and amenity from adverse impacts of development.
Objective 44: Protect desired land uses from the encroachment of incompatible development.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
107 Development should not detrimentally affect the amenity of the locality or cause
unreasonable interference through any of the following:
(b) noise;
108 Development should be sited and designed to minimise negative impacts on existing and
potential future land uses desired in the locality.
111 Sensitive uses likely to conflict with the continuation of lawfully existing developments and
land uses desired for the zone should be designed to minimise negative impacts.
112 Non-residential development on land abutting a residential zone should be designed to
minimise noise impacts to achieve adequate levels of compatibility between existing and
proposed uses.

Noise Generating Activities
113 Development that emits noise (other than music noise) should include noise attenuation
measures that achieve the relevant Environment Protection (Noise) Policy criteria when
assessed at the nearest existing noise sensitive premises.
114 Development with the potential to emit significant noise (e.g. industry) should incorporate
noise attenuation measures that prevent noise from causing unreasonable interference with
the amenity of noise sensitive premises.
Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007
Interface between Land Uses PDC 113 from the Development Plan references the Environment Protection
(Noise) Policy 2007, which provides goal noise levels to be achieved at residences from general activity at a
site and specific provisions for other activity such as rubbish collection.
The Policy is based on the World Health Organisation Guidelines to prevent annoyance, sleep disturbance
and unreasonable interference on the amenity of an area. Therefore, compliance with the Policy is
considered to be sufficient to satisfy all provisions of the Development Plan relating to environmental noise.
Rubbish Collection
The Policy deals with rubbish collection by effectively limiting the hours to the least sensitive period of the
day. Division 3 of the Policy requires rubbish collection to only occur between the hours of 9am and 7pm on
Sundays or public holidays, and between 7am and 7pm on any other day, except where it can be shown that
the maximum (Lmax) noise level from such activity is less than 60 dB(A).
General Activity other than Rubbish Collection
The Policy provides goal noise levels to be achieved at residences based on the principally promoted land use
of the Development Plan zones in which the noise source (the development) and the noise receivers
(residences) are located.
Retail Development - Springwood
Environmental Noise Assessment
S6185C3
September 2019

sonus
Based on the principally promoted land uses in the Development Plan, the following goal noise levels are
provided by the Policy to be achieved at all existing residences:
· An average (Leq) noise level of 50 dB(A) during the day time (7am to 10pm);
· An average (Leq) noise level of 43 dB(A) during the night time (10pm to 7am); and,
· A maximum (Lmax) noise level of 60 dB(A) during the night time.
When measuring or predicting noise levels for comparison with the Policy, adjustments may be made to the
average goal noise levels for each “annoying” characteristic of tone, impulse, low frequency, and modulation
of the noise source. The characteristic must be dominant in the existing acoustic environment and therefore
the application of a penalty varies depending on the assessment location, time of day, the noise source being
assessed, and the predicted noise level. The application of penalties is discussed further in the Assessment
section of this report.

ASSESSMENT
The noise level at the existing residences from the proposed site activity has been predicted based on a range
of previous noise measurements and observations at similar facilities. These include:
· Car park activity such as people talking as they vacate or approach their vehicles, the opening and
closing of vehicle doors, vehicles starting, vehicles idling, and vehicles moving into and accelerating
away from their park position;
· General vehicle movements and idling on site;
· Automatic and manual wash bays and the associated plant room;
· Vacuum bays;
· Fuel delivery trucks; and,
· Mechanical plant serving the control building.
At the Development Application stage of a project, it is usual practice that the mechanical plant is not yet
designed or selected. Therefore, the assessment has considered typical air conditioning, refrigeration and
exhaust fans operating at other similar facilities to provide an indicative assessment.
Noise predictions have been made based on manufacturer’s data and previous noise measurements of the
following indicative air conditioning and refrigeration equipment;
Equipment Quantity
Display fridges 2
Freezer 1
Packaged cooling units 2
Amenity exhaust fan 1
The final design should ensure the relevant goal noise levels of the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy
2007 are achieved at all residences when accounting for the other noise sources on the site.
The sound power levels for the above activities are provided as Appendix D.
Rubbish Collection
In order for rubbish collection to achieve the requirements of the Policy, the hours for collection should be
restricted to that of Division 3 of the Policy. That is, rubbish collection should only be between the hours of
9am and 7pm on a Sunday or public holiday, and 7am and 7pm on any other day.

General Activity
The predictions of noise from sources other than rubbish collection at the facility have been based on the
following operational assumptions for the level of activity in any 15-minute2 period:
· during the day (7am to 10pm):
o continuous operation of all mechanical plant on the control building roof;
o 15 vehicle movements through the site using the petrol filling stations;
o A stationary vehicle idling continuously at half of the refuelling bays (while waiting to use the
filling station);
o 8 vehicle movements through the site using the car park bays or car wash facilities;
o A stationary vehicle idling continuously at both of the automatic car washes (while waiting to
use the wash bay);
o Continuous operation of both automatic car wash bays;
o 5 minutes of high pressure spray in each of the manual wash bays;
o Continuous use of 2 vacuum units; and,
o A single fuel delivery.
· During the night (10pm to 7am):
o continuous operation of all mechanical plant on the control building roof;
o 10 vehicle movements through the site using the petrol filling stations; and,
o 5 vehicle movements through the site using the car park bays.
Based on the above, the following acoustic treatments are recommended for the site to achieve the goal
noise levels of the Policy:

Car Wash & Vacuum Bays
· Ensure that the automatic and manual wash bays and vacuum bays are not used during the
night time hours of the Policy (10pm to 7am);
· As has been documented, install glass doors (minimum 10.38mm thick laminated glass) to the
entry and exit of the automatic car washes, which automatically before the wash cycle starts
and do not open until the dry cycle has finished. Roller door brush seals should be installed to
the doors to seal as close as possible to air tight when closed;
· As has been documented, install acoustic absorption material to the walls of the manual wash
bays. Minimum 50mm thick polyester insulation of 32kg/m3 density may be used in
accordance with the following detail to provide weather proofing, or a proprietary weather
proof product with a minimum NRC rating of 0.8 may be used without the weather proofing
detail.
· In addition to the above, install acoustic absorption material to the underside of the manual wash
bay ceiling to the same specification as the wall treatment. The absorption may be held in place by
any material with a minimum open area of 15%.
· Ensure the roof of the automatic car washes and the plant room incorporate a layer of 9mm thick
compressed fibre cement sheet, with 50mm thick acoustic insulation having a minimum density of
32 kg/m3 laid over the top (between the ceiling and the sheet metal roof deck).
50mm thick acoustic insulation with
a minimum density of 32 kg/m3.
The insulation should be installed
to the full area of the wall.

General Activity
· Restrict fuel deliveries to the daytime hours of the Policy. That is, between 7am and 10pm
only;
· Should amplified music played outdoors be proposed, it should be set at a level which is
inaudible at any dwelling at any time.
· Reduce noise from any alarms produced by site equipment, such as for compressed air,
carwash bays or vacuum bays as far as practical.
· Ensure there are no irregularities on the site and all inspection points, grated trenches, etc. are
correctly fixed to remove the potential for impact noise being generated when driven over.
· Should a solid fence, such as “Colorbond” sheet steel, be constructed for the portion shown
below for other reasons, then acoustic absorption material should be installed to the same
specification as the manual car wash wall treatment on the site side of the fence for its full
extent. Should an acoustically open fence, such as tubular steel, be proposed, no further
treatment will be required.

Mechanical Plant
· Locate all mechanical plant (other than for the car wash facilities) on the control building
roof;
· Construct a barrier between the roof top plant and the residences to the north (on the opposite
side of Calton Road), which is at least the same height as the tallest condensing unit and is
constructed from a minimum 0.42 BMT sheet metal (Colorbond) or an acoustic equivalent.
· If a barrier is constructed on the opposite side of the units (southern side), the construction
should incorporate acoustic absorption material to the same specification as the manual wash
bay wall treatment to the full extent on the plant side of the barrier
The noise level and any acoustic treatment associated with mechanical plant should be reviewed during the
detailed design phase, should the final equipment selections have different sound power levels or should a
different number of units be proposed to those specified within this report.
With the inclusion of the acoustic treatments described above and the assumed level of activity at the site,
the predicted average (Leq) noise levels at the existing residences are no more than 50 dB(A) during the day
time and 42 dB(A) during the night. Given the potential for low noise levels in the environment and
modulating vehicle noise to be audible for periods during the night time when there is limited activity on
Calton Road & the Gawler East Link Road but activity on the site, a 5 dB(A) penalty has been added to the
night time predicted noise level which conservatively applies to all activity after 10pm and before 7am. That
is, the predicted noise level at night of 37 dB(A) has been penalised to become 42 dB(A).
Based on the above, the goal noise levels of 50 dB(A) during the day time and 43 dB(A) during the night time
are predicted to be achieved at all existing residences.
In addition, based on the inclusion of the acoustic treatment described above, the predicted maximum noise
level at any existing residence is no more than 54 dB(A), therefore achieving the Policy requirement of
60 dB(A) for night time activity.

CONCLUSION
An environmental noise assessment has been made of the proposed development at the corner of Calton
Road and the Gawler East Link Road, Springwood.
The assessment considers noise levels at nearby existing residences from vehicle movements, car park
activity, fuel deliveries, automatic and manual wash bays, vacuum bays, rubbish collection and mechanical
plant servicing the facility.
The predicted noise levels from the development will achieve the relevant noise criteria, derived in
accordance with the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 subject to the treatments in this report,
comprising;
· Installing doors to the automatic wash bays;
· Installing acoustic absorption within the manual wash bays;
· Upgrading the roof of the automatic wash bay and plant room;
· Screening the roof top plant and restricting its noise levels subject to a subsequent design phase
review;
· Reducing the noise from any alarms as far as practical;
· Ensuring all inspection points, grated trenches, etc. are correctly fixed;
· Restricting the times for rubbish collection and fuel deliveries; and
· Restricting the times for use of the wash facilities.
It is therefore considered that the facility has been designed to minimise adverse impacts, avoid
unreasonable interference on amenity, and will not detrimentally affect the locality by way of noise, thereby
achieving the relevant provisions of the Development Plan related to environmental noise.

Please find enclosed a report of the Town of Gawler Council Assessment Panel on the two(2) Development Applications as above.
The report was adopted unanimously by the Panel at its meeting held on 15 January 2020.
Should you require any further information do not hesitate to contact Ryan Viney, ManagerDevelopment, Environment and Regulatory Services on 85229271 [email protected].
Yours sincerely,
Dr�:=11� Presiding Member
490/557/2019 – 490/E008/2019 PETROL FILLING STATION WITH ASSOCIATED SHOP, CAR PARKING AND SIGNAGE
Element Discussion Land Use 1. The proposed development comprises the following
components:
2. A Petrol Filling Station comprising:
2.1. A single storey shop and control building
consisting of a gross leasable floor area of 194m2
(including a servery, cool room, toilet, store room
and office);
2.2. A service yard and bin store on the western side
of the shop;
2.3. A 6.7-metre-high fuelling canopy consisting of an
internally illuminated fascia;
2.4. 8 double-sided fuel bowsers serviced by two 110
kilolitre below-ground fuel tanks;
3. 10 car parking spaces and 2 bicycle parking rails;
4. Retaining walls up to 2.4 metres in height; and
5. Signage, including:
5.1. One internally illuminated double sided pylon sign
measuring 10m in height and 2.74m in width
adjacent to Calton Road;
5.2. Two internally illuminated ‘Mobil’ canopy sings
measuring 1.06m by 2.7m to be located on each
elevation of the fuelling canopy;
5.3. One internally illuminated ‘Eat + Drink + Relax’ flat
wall sign measuring 1.8m by 6.63m to be located
on the eastern elevation of the shop;
5.4. Two internally illuminated ‘X Convenience’ signs
measuring 1.8m by 5.61ms to be located on the
northern and southern elevations of the shop;
5.5. One internally illuminated 0.87m high 'X'
corporate logo sign to be located on the northern
elevation of the shop; and
5.6. One internally illuminated ‘Coffee Station’ and one
internally illuminated ‘Smokes Express’ flat wall
signs (measuring 0.9m by 2.52m and 0.33m by
2.07m respectively) to be located on the eastern
elevation of the shop.
6. Landscaping
7. The Mixed Use Centre Policy area contemplates a
wide range of land uses that serve the local community.
The proposed use is in keeping with this intent and
represents a desired use (being both a petrol filling
station and shop).
8. The proposal therefore satisfies Objective 1, 3 and
PDC 1 and 6 of the policy area.
Earthworks and Retaining 1. A site civil/stormwater management plan has been
provided as part of the application. However, the
existing and/or future finished levels of the land are
dependent on the final design and approval of the
associated land division applications and completion
of the Gawler East Link Road (given the
interconnectivity of this use with the adjoining petrol
filling station proposal).
2. Depending on the level of earthworks that result in
both the associated land division and Gawler East Link
Road works, there may be a need for a variation to the
current civil/stormwater management plan.
3. Based on the current proposed stormwater/civil plan,
the proposal is considered to provide for a relatively
balanced extent of earthworks across to the two
allotments consistent with Zone PDC 31.
4. The subject proposal incorporates predominately
excavation resulting in the provision of a maximum
2.4-metre-high retaining wall.
5. The provision of the cut retaining walls is not
considered to have a detrimental impact on the
character of the area or interfacing public realm due to
the visibility internal to the site.
6. The provision of high-quality landscaping within the
site will assist in softening the impact of any retaining
walls. This approach is consistent with Zone PDC 29.
Design 1. The desired character statement of the Policy Area
seeks to create a ‘main street’ environment with
buildings addressing the street with car parking
located primarily to the rear. The appearance of siting
of buildings is encouraged to be within close proximity
to street frontages and be of an architecturally high
standard to create diversity of interest through the
appearance of an aggregation of smaller buildings.
2. Given the nature of the proposed use, satisfying this
objective is not readily achievable. However, the intent
is considered to be achieved by the proposal which
provides for a built form of a high standard
incorporating various materials.
3. Zone Objective 7, PDC 22(b) and Policy Area
Objectives 2, 3 and PDC’s 3, 4, 5 and 6 are considered
to be satisfied by the proposal.
Stormwater 1. The applicant has provided a stormwater
management plan prepared by Sagero Civil and
Structural Engineers. The stormwater management
system is proposed holistically across the two sites to
form one individual system. The stormwater
management system comprises:
2. Three underground detention tanks accommodating a
combined capacity of 69m3;
3. A Class 1 separator and treatment device being a
SPEL Puraceptor. This device is provided to treat
stormwater, separate oils, grease and hydrocarbons;
4. Internal inlet pits to capture surface water; and
5. A stormwater pump discharging stormwater at a rate
of 20Litres/Second into the Public stormwater network
(created as part of the accompanying land division
applications).
6. Whilst the stormwater system is supported in principle
by Council’s engineers, the associated stormwater
system in which the proposal will connect/discharge
into is yet to be constructed in its final form. The
current stormwater management for this portion of the
site is an interim system that is discharged onto the
former quarry site located within the Springwood land.
This discharge/outlet point of the current system will
be redefined as part of the on-going development of
the springwood estate.
7. Until the receiving system has been defined,
confirmed and approved, Council is unable to support
the proposed stormwater management.
8. Irrespective of the above and of most concern is the
location of the proposed stormwater detention and
water quality treatment required to facilitate the
proposed petrol filling station being located within the
car wash land. As the car wash is not proposed within
the subject application, the proposed petrol filling
station does not technically provide for the detention
and water quality treatment device.
9. Unless and until appropriate detention and water
quality treatment is provided and secured for the petrol
filling station proposal (being that its provision is not
dependent on obtaining another consent), the
proposal should not be supported.
Traffic and Car Parking 1. Access to the site is proposed to be provided via two
two-way access points. One access point will facilitate
left-in/right-in and left out movements to Calton Road
whilst the second will be limited to left-in/right-in and
left-out only from/to the collector road. The
access/egress points are of a sufficient width and
configuration to facilitate two-way simultaneous
turning movements.
2. Due to the configuration of the proposed development
and the internal driveway areas, all vehicles will be
able to enter and exit the site in a forward direction.
3. The applicant has engaged Cirqa Traffic Consultants
to review the proposed traffic and carparking
arrangements for the two proposed land uses. In
summary, Cirqa noted the following:
3.1. Adequate storage will be provided at the fuel
bowsers to ensure vehicles queued behind
bowsers do not impact other movements into and
out of the site;
3.2. Fuel tankers would be anticipated to access the
site two to three times per week with additional
movements made by medium and small rigid
vehicles to service the retail store (say ten
vehicles per week). The number of commercial
movements is low and would easily be
accommodated on site and on the adjacent road
network. All vehicles (including commercial
vehicles) will be able to enter and exit the site in a
forward direction;
3.3. it is forecast that the [petrol filling station] site
could generate between 125 trips (formula 2) and
155 trips in the pm (evening) peak hour;
3.4. it is considered that the impact of the proposal on
the adjacent road network will be minimal
(particularly given the broader assessment and
associated road layout has taken into account the
potential development of the site).
3.5. The movements associated with the site will be
readily accommodated at the site’s access points
and on the adjacent road network.
4. As indicated above, the traffic volume associated with
the site is considered to be in keeping with the traffic
volumes proposed as part of the associated land
division application 490/D025/19 and 490/D026/19 for
the adjoining road network. Accordingly, the traffic
network proposed as part of the associated land
division applications is not considered to be exceeded
by the proposal.
5. Council’s engineering staff have reviewed the
proposal inclusive of Cirqa’s traffic assessment and
concur with the findings of the report. As such, the
proposal is considered to provide for appropriate
access/egress arraignments and will not detrimentally
impact the existing/proposed road network.
6. Irrespective of the above, as the Gawler East Link
Road has and the associated traffic interventions have
not completed construction, any works or refinements
to roads that are required to accommodate the
proposed development should be completed as part of
the associated land division applications and secured
via an Infrastructure Agreement (being as part of
external infrastructure works) for the subject
application to ensure such works (if required) are
provided.
7. The proposal seeks to provide for 10 dedicated car
parking spaces to service the proposed car wash use
in a manner that is consistent with AS2890.1:2004 and
AS2891.6:2009 (being the Australian Standard for off
street parking and off-street parking for people with
disabilities).
8. The Town of Gawler Development Plan identifies a
minimum parking rate of one space per service bay
plus five spaces per 100m2 of proposed retail floor
space. As the convenience store (retail) is limited to a
floor area of 190m2, the proposal subsequently
requires 9.5 parking spaces. As a total of 10 car
parking spaces has been provided, the Development
Plan rate has been appropriately satisfied.
Landscaping 1. The proposal includes a conceptual landscaping plan
which depicts the provision of landscaping around the
perimeter of the site adjacent to the external public
roads.
2. Whilst a detailed landscaping plan has not been
provided, the Site Plan adequately demonstrates that
sufficient area has been designated for the provision
of landscaping.
3. A detailed landscaping plan should be prepared as a
reserved matter or condition of consent. Consideration
of the ‘taller shrubs’ proposed to be situated towards
the rear of the site should be reflected within such a
plan to assist in improving the proposed landscaping.
Signage 1. The proposal seeks to establish various forms of flat
wall signage situated in both the proposed shop/control
building and the fuel canopy. A free standing pylon sign
is also proposed adjacent to the Calton Road frontage.
2. The pylon signage is detached and separated from the
proposed petrol filling station and is proposed to a
maximum height of 10 metres. Table Ga/4 of the
Development Plan seeks to limit such signs to a
maximum height of 7.0 metres with a maximum
advertisement area of 12 square metres. Whilst the
proposal is limited to one pylon sign therefore satisfying
the desired limitation in Table Ga/4, the proposed
height is considered an inappropriate dispensation in
the context of the locality. A reduction in the 10-metre
pylon sign height to accord with Table Ga/4 should
therefore be required.
3. It is also noted that signage associated with the
adjoining car wash is also present within the petrol
filling station’s pylon sign. Given this use is proposed in
a manner that is separate to that of the petrol filling
station, this third party signage is discouraged. Should
the facility operate as a single integrated development
then the co-location of signage would not be of
concern.
4. A reduction in the height of the pylon sign would also
ensure the scale of the size is more in keeping with the
scale of the proposed development.
5. The flat wall signage contained within the proposal is
not considered to amount to proliferation and aligns
with the intent of Table Ga/4 of the Town of Gawler
Development Plan and therefore does not offend CW
Objectives 69, 70 nor PDC’s 199, 200, 201, 202 and
204.
Noise 1. The applicant engaged Sonus Acoustic Consultants to
undertake an Environmental Noise Assessment. The
assessment considers noise levels at the existing
residences from the following activities:
1.1. On-site vehicle movements;
1.2. General car park activity;
1.3. Fuel deliveries;
1.4. Rubbish collection; and,
1.5. Mechanical plant servicing the facility.
2. The predicted noise levels from the proposed
development are considered by Sonus to achieve the
relevant noise criteria, outlined within the Environment
Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 subject to the provision
of treatments.
3. The required treatments include:
3.1. Screening the roof top plant and restricting its
noise levels subject to a subsequent design
phase review;
3.2. Reducing the noise from any alarms as far as
practical;
3.3. Ensuring all inspection points, grated trenches,
etc. are correctly fixed; and
3.4. Restricting the times for rubbish collection and
fuel deliveries.
4. Provided the abovementioned treatments are
adopted, the proposal is considered to accord with the
requirements of the Environment Protection (Noise)
Policy 2007 and therefore satisfy Council Wide
Objectives 42-44 (inclusive) and Council Wide PDC
107, 108, 111, 112, 113 and 114.
5. The recommendations presented by Sonus should be
included within a condition of consent imposed on the
application, should consent be granted.
Crime Prevention 1. Whilst the proposal is considered to be designed in a
manner that facilitates passive surveillance from the
adjoining public realm, consideration should be given
to crime prevention through urban design in order to
ensure the proposal assists in deterring anti-social
behaviour. The proposal seeks to provide for the 24
hour ongoing use of the site which will assist in
providing continuous surveillance of the subject land.
2. In any event, the proposal should appropriately
consider Council Wide Objective 20 and Principle of
Development Control 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49 and
51.
General Infrastructure Provision
1. Zone PDC 42 outlines that development should only
occur if the required physical and community
infrastructure has been provided or secured via a
legally binding agreement.
2. The physical and community infrastructure outlined
within this provision includes:
2.1. Gawler East Link Road as illustrated on Structure
Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G, and
associated traffic interventions (road and
intersection upgrades);
2.2. public lighting, pedestrian and bicycle paths and
associated landscaping treatments associated
with the Gawler East Link Road;
2.3. community facilities (including recreation
facilities); and
2.4. stormwater management systems.
3. To date this infrastructure has not been
completed/provided nor secured. As such, the
proposal does not satisfy Zone PDC 42 (being all
elements a to d).
SEA Gas 1. Whilst the proposed application does not trigger any
referrals under Schedule 8 of the Development
Regulation 2008, it is highly recommended that an
informal referral be sought to ensure public safety is
maintained and compliance with AS2885 is achieved.
Zone PDC 36 (b) is of note given that the proposed
petrol filling station will contain a fuel source within
close proximity to the SEAgas high pressure pipeline.
Easements and Associated Infrastructure (i.e. Electranet)
1. The proposal does not appear to result in any conflict
with existing/proposed easements or infrastructure.
However, consideration should be given to these
elements to ensure adequate separation is maintained
and such services are not impacted by the proposed
development.
490/558/2019 – 490/E010/2019
PROPOSED CAR WASH, VACUUM BAYS AND SIGNAGE
Element Discussion
Land Use 1. The proposed land use has been defined by the
applicant as a Car Wash and will consist of a number
of associated elements which includes:
1.1. A Car Wash building measuring 35.38 metres
(Length) by 10.02 metres (Width) with a wall
height of 6.2 metres. The building comprises:
1.1.1. A four-bay drive through manual car wash;
1.1.2. A two-bay automotive drive through car
wash; and
1.1.3. A plant room
1.2. Four vacuum bays;
1.3. Signage in the form of:
1.3.1. Three flat wall signs measuring 2.54
metres by 3.7 metres located on the
northern, southern and eastern elevations
of the proposed car wash building;
1.3.2. One flat wall sign measuring 4.99 metres
by 0.9 metres on the eastern elevation of
the proposed car wash building.
1.4. Two car parking spaces;
1.5. Landscaping.
2. The Mixed Use Centre Policy area contemplates a
wide range of land uses that serve the local
community. The proposed use is in keeping with this
intent and therefore satisfies Objective 1, 3 and PDC
1 and 6 of the policy area.
Earthworks and Retaining 1. A site civil/stormwater management plan has been
provided as part of the application. However, the
existing and/or future finished levels of the land are
dependent on the final design and approval of the
associated land division applications and completion
of the Gawler East Link Road (given the
interconnectivity of this use with the adjoining petrol
filling station proposal).
2. Depending on the level of earthworks that result in
both the associated land division and Gawler East Link
Road works, there may be a need for a variation to the
current civil/stormwater management plan.
3. Based on the current proposed stormwater/civil plan,
the proposal is considered to provide for a balanced
extent of earthworks across to the two allotments.
Consistent with Zone PDC 31.
4. The provision of fill retaining walls adjacent to the
street frontage should be limited in height and were
required, appropriately treated to reduce the resulting
bulk on the adjoining public realm.
5. The provision of landscaping within the lower lying
portion of fill retaining walls adjacent to road frontages
should be encouraged to assist in softening the impact
of any fill retaining walls. This approach is consistent
with Zone PDC 29.
Design 1. The desired character statement of the Policy Area
seeks to create a ‘main street’ environment with
buildings addressing the street and car parking located
primarily to the rear. The appearance of siting of
buildings is encouraged to be within close proximity to
street frontages and be of an architecturally high
standard to create diversity of interest through the
appearance of an aggregation of smaller buildings.
2. This intent is considered to be achieved by the
proposal, with the built form comprises of a high
standard façade.
3. Zone Objective 7, PDC 22(b) and Policy Area
Objectives 2, 3 and PDC’s 3, 4, 5 and 6 are considered
to be satisfied by the proposal.
Stormwater 1. The applicant has provided a stormwater
management plan prepared by Sagero Civil and
Structural Engineers. The stormwater management
system is proposed holistically across the two sites to
form one individual system. The stormwater
management system comprises:
1.1. Three underground detention tanks
accommodating a combined capacity of 69m3;
1.2. A Class 1 separator and treatment device being a
SPEL Puraceptor. This device is provided to treat
stormwater, separate oils, grease and
hydrocarbons;
1.3. Internal inlet pits to capture surface water; and
1.4. A stormwater pump discharging stormwater at a
rate of 20Litres/Second into the Public stormwater
network (created as part of the accompanying
land division applications).
2. Whilst the stormwater system in principle is supported
by Council’s engineers, the associated stormwater
system in which the proposal will connect/discharge
into is yet to be constructed in its final form. The
current stormwater management for this portion of the
site is an interim system that is discharged onto the
former quarry site located within the Springwood land.
This discharge/outlet point of the current system will
be redefined as part of the on-going development of
the springwood estate. Until the receiving system has
been defined, confirmed and approved, Council s
unable to support the proposed stormwater
management.
Traffic and Carparking 1. Access to the site is proposed to be provided via two,
two-way access points. One access point will facilitate
left-in/right-in and left out movements to Calton Road
whilst the second will be limited to left-in/right-in and
left-out only from/to the collector road. The
access/egress points are of a sufficient width and
configuration to facilitate two-way simultaneous
turning movements.
2. Due to the configuration of the proposed development
and the internal driveway areas, all vehicles will be
able to enter and exit the site in a forward direction.
3. The applicant has engaged Cirqa Traffic Consultants
to review the proposed traffic and carparking
arrangements for the two proposed land uses. In
summary, Cirqa noted the following:
3.1. A single automated car wash typically has a
service rate of between 5 to 10 minutes per
vehicle. On this basis, the two automatic car wash
bays could service between 12 and 24 vehicles in
a single hour. A single manual car wash has a
lower service rate of approximately one car every
15 minutes. Therefore, the manual car wash bays
could service approximately 16 vehicles per hour.
The vacuum bays are then utilised by patrons
associated with the automatic and manual car
washes and generally don’t generate additional
traffic (above that already associated with the car
wash bays). On the basis of the above, the car
wash facilities could service up to 36 vehicles in
an hour (at full occupancy);
3.2. In reality, the level of traffic generated by the wash
facilities would be below its theoretical capacity
(particularly during the peak commuter hours
when use of such a facility would be relatively
low). Furthermore, a proportion of trips generated
by the wash facilities would also likely to be
associated (shared) with the petrol filling station.
3.3. it is considered that the impact of the proposal on
the adjacent road network will be minimal
(particularly given the broader assessment and
associated road layout has taken into account the
potential development of the site).
3.4. The movements associated with the site will be
readily accommodated at the site’s access points
and on the adjacent road network.
4. As indicated above, the traffic volume associated with
the site is considered to be in keeping with the traffic
volumes proposed as part of the associated land
division application 490/D025/19 and 490/D026/19 for
the adjoining road network. Accordingly, the traffic
network proposed as part of the associated land
division applications is not considered to be exceeded
by the proposal.
5. Council’s engineering staff have reviewed the
proposal inclusive of Cirqa’s traffic assessment and
concur with the findings of the report. As such, the
proposal is considered to provide for appropriate
access/egress arraignments and will not detrimentally
impact the existing/proposed road network.
6. Irrespective of the above, as the Gawler East Link
Road has and the associated traffic interventions have
not completed construction, any works or refinements
to roads that are required to accommodate the
proposed development should be completed as part
of the associated land division applications and
secured via an Infrastructure Agreement (being as
part of external infrastructure works) for the subject
application to ensure such works (if required) are
provided and orderly development is achieved.
7. The proposal seeks to provide for 2 dedicated car
parking spaces to service the proposed car wash use
in a manner that is consistent with AS2890.1:2004 and
AS2891.6:2009 (being the Australian Standard for off
street parking and off-street parking for people with
disabilities).
3. As detailed within the Cirqa report, the Town of Gawler
Development Plan does not specify a car parking rate
for car wash land uses. Further, as car parking spaces
are provided for the car wash within the car wash or
vacuum bays themselves and adjacent queuing
areas, the provided 2 car parking spaces are
anticipated to be appropriate to accommodate staff
parking. The provision of car parking is therefore
considered appropriate.
Landscaping 1. Landscaping is provided throughout the site and
adjacent to the road frontage. This landscaping is
provided in the following forms:
1.1. Landscaping to Calton Road frontage;
1.2. Landscaping to western side boundary; and
1.3. Landscaping rear boundary.
2. Whilst a detailed landscaping plan has not been
provided, the Site Plan adequately demonstrates that
sufficient area has been designated for the provision
of landscaping.
3. A detailed landscaping plan should be prepared as a
reserved matter or condition of consent. Consideration
of the ‘taller shrubs’ proposed to be situated towards
the rear of the site should be reflected within such a
plan to assist in improving the proposed landscaping.
Signage 1. The proposed development seeks for the provision of
signage in the form of flat wall signs. The flat wall signs
are provided within the following parameters:
1.1. Three flat wall signs measuring 2.54 metres by
3.7 metres located on the northern, southern and
eastern elevations of the proposed car wash
building;
1.2. One flat wall sign measuring 4.99 metres by 0.9
metres on the eastern elevation of the proposed
car wash building.
2. The proposed signage will not conceal any
architectural elements and is in keeping with the scale
of the building.
3. Signage contained within the proposal generally
aligns with Table Ga/4 of the Town of Gawler
Development Plan which seeks for flat wall signs to be
limited to one sign per wall. The proposal on the
eastern elevation seeks for the establishment of two
flat wall signs. Whilst the reduction in signage on this
elevation would be encouraged to achieve greater
consistency with Table Ga/4, the proposal does not
offend CW Objectives 69, 70 nor PDC’s 199, 200, 201,
202 and 204.
4. It is also noted that a portion of the pylon sign
(measuring 3.70 metres by 2.54 metres) is also
anticipated to be used to advertise the proposed car
wash. However, this does not form part of this
application and is proposed within the application for
the petrol filling station.
Noise 1. The applicant engaged Sonus Acoustic Consultants to
undertake an Environmental Noise Assessment. The
assessment considers noise levels at the existing
residences from the following activities:
1.1. On-site vehicle movements;
1.2. General car park activity;
1.3. Automatic and manual car wash bays;
1.4. Vacuum bays; and,
1.5. Mechanical plant servicing the facility.
2. The predicted noise levels from the proposed
development are considered by Sonus to achieve the
relevant noise criteria, outlined within the Environment
Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 subject to the provision
of treatments.
3. The required treatments include:
1.1. Installing doors to the automatic wash bays;
1.2. Installing acoustic absorption within the manual
wash bays;
1.3. Upgrading the roof of the automatic wash bay and
plant room;
1.4. Screening the roof top plant and restricting its
noise levels subject to a subsequent design
phase review;
1.5. Restricting the times for use of the wash facilities.
4. Provided the abovementioned treatments are
adopted, the proposal is considered to accord with the
requirements of the Environment Protection (Noise)
Policy 2007 and therefore satisfy Council Wide
Objectives 42-44 (inclusive) and Council Wide PDC
107, 108, 111, 112, 113 and 114.
5. The recommendations presented by Sonus should be
included within a condition of consent imposed on the
application, should consent be granted.
Crime Prevention 1. Whilst the proposal is considered to be designed in a
manner that facilitates passive surveillance from the
adjoining public realm, consideration should be given
to crime prevention through urban design in order to
ensure the proposal assists in deterring anti-social
behaviour. It is noted that the adjoining land use (petrol
filling station) will provide for a 24 hour use of the site
which will assist in providing on-going surveillance of
the subject land.
2. In any event, the proposal should appropriately
consider Council Wide Objective 20 and Principle of
Development Control 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49 and
51.
General Infrastructure Provision
3. Zone PDC 42 outlines that development should only
occur if the required physical and community
infrastructure has been provided or secured via a
legally binding agreement.
3.1. The physical and community infrastructure
outlined within this provision includes:
3.2. Gawler East Link Road as illustrated on Structure
Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G, and
associated traffic interventions (road and
intersection upgrades);
3.3. public lighting, pedestrian and bicycle paths and
associated landscaping treatments associated
with the Gawler East Link Road;
3.4. community facilities (including recreation
facilities); and
3.5. stormwater management systems.
4. To date this infrastructure has not been
completed/provided nor secured. As such, the
proposal does not satisfy Zone PDC 42 (being all
elements a to d).
Easements and Associated Infrastructure (i.e. Electranet)
1. The proposal does not appear to result in any conflict
with existing/proposed easements or infrastructure.
However, consideration should be given to these
elements to ensure adequate separation is maintained
and such services are not impacted by the proposed
development.

Procedural Matters
Element Discussion Processing of Applications (Timing):
1. Legal advice was previously sought with regards to the
three previous commercial applications (shopping
centre, sales centre and childcare centre) regarding
the processing of the three applications without each
corresponding allotment existing for each of the
proposals (which included lack of legal road access
given internal location within site) and further the need
to consider earthworks.
2. Whilst Council has previously provided the formal
referral comments in respects of the three previous
commercial applications, this advice remains relevant
for the consideration of the additional two applications
before the panel.
3. In summary, the legal advice previously received
noted:
3.1. Each of the respective land divisions cannot and
should not be assessed and determined unless
and until the divisions which create the relevant
public roads from which access will be taken, are
approved. Until this occurs, none of the proposed
developments in the 3 development applications
have a lawful means of access. The 3
development applications cannot be granted a
Development Plan consent on this basis. To do so
would be contrary to the Gawler (CT)
Development Plan and would, be against general
practice (see, e.g. Rohrlach & Anor v City of Unley
[2011] SAERDC 19).
3.2. Further, fundamental aspects of the 3
development applications, being floor levels
stormwater management and retaining wall
heights are uncertain and are subject on as-yet
undetermined development applications. It would
be inappropriate and contrary to the Development
Plan to grant Development Plan consent to the 3
development applications without certain
information in this regard. Specifically, floor levels
and retaining wall heights are significant planning
merit considerations such that they cannot be
dealt with as reserve matters for the reasons
expressed in the Supreme Court judgment of Mar
Mina (SA) Pty Ltd v City of Marion & Anor [2008]
SASC 120.
3.3. The lack of lawful access does not render the 3
development applications hypothetical. The test
for a “hypothetical” development is whether there
is a reasonable prospect of the development
proceeding (see Hackney Hotel Pty Ltd v
Corporation of the Town of St Peters (1983) 32
SASR 145 and Rampling v City of Holdfast Bay
[2010] SAERDC 60).
3.4. Once the relevant land division applications are
approved and plans deposited at the Land Titles
Office (LTO) such that the proposed public roads
are sufficiently certain so as to facilitate future
developments relying on them for access, and so
that levels and retaining wall heights can be
confirmed, the 3 development applications may
then be granted Development Plan consent.
3.5. In conclusion neither of the 3 previous and 2
current development applications can/should be
determined until:
3.5.1. The divisions creating the public roads for
which each of the 3 development
applications are reliant for access are
approved and the relevant plans of division
deposited at the LTO; or
3.5.2. Each of the 3 development applications is
amended to provide access to an existing
public road and to remove all uncertainty
concerning levels and retaining walls
(which are currently specified as being
contingent on the outcome of the relevant
land division applications).
3.6. Whilst the subject two applications now under
consideration differ to the previous three
applications as Calton Road exists, the proposal
seeks to develop an allotment that does not legally
exist and seeks to accommodate access from the
Gawler East Link Road which is yet to be
constructed. Furthermore, the proposal indicates
traffic intervention works at the intersection of
Calton Road and the Gawler East Link Road which
are yet to be completed.
3.7. As such, the previous advice remains relevant to
the consideration of the two subject proposals.
Description of Proposal 1. The proposed petrol filling station has been described
by SCAP as a ‘Petrol filling station with associated
shop, car parking and signage”. The description omits
other elements proposed within the application that
form development in their own right; such as retaining
walls (proposed up to 2.4 metres in height).
2. The description set out by the applicant’s planning
consultant being, ‘Petrol filling station (24 hour
operation) with associated shop, fuel canopy, car
parking, signage, retaining walls, fencing and
landscaping’ is considered to be a more accurate
description of the proposed development and should
be adopted should the application proceed to a
determination in its current form.
Separation of proposed Elements
1. The subject application represents one of two proposals
currently before the State Commission Assessment
Panel (SCAP), with the other being the ‘Future Car
Wash’ indicated within the subject proposal. Whilst
Council understands that the car wash is not proposed
within the subject application, the approach to separate
the two elements and deal with each proposal
separately is not supported by the Town of Gawler.
2. The current approach is inconsistent with the ruling of
the Supreme Court in the matter between Fiora V
Development Assessment Commission [2017]
SASCFC 52 (19 May 2017), which resolved that where
land is proposed to be used for a single use at the one
time, the entire use must be included in the application
and not divided up piecemeal. In paragraph 69 of the
judgement, Debelle J noted:
2.1.1. When discharging the task imposed on it by
reg 16(1), the planning authority must
objectively examine the documents and other
information before it and, as a matter of
practical reality, decide what the nature of the
development is. To the extent that the
documents and other information before the
planning authority may disclose links
between one application and another, that is
a relevant factor. Similarly, the extent to which
the documents and other information may
disclose intentions of the applicants, they too
are relevant because those intentions may
disclose whether, in truth, the four separate
applications are for one larger development.
...
Although this application is limited to one
parcel of land, it has features which disclose
that it is linked with other intended land uses
and forms part of one overall development...
3. The development of the two allotments once completed
is considered to form in itself one holistic development.
This is evidenced by the following:
3.1. co-ordination of access/egress points to the subject
sites;
3.2. interlinked internal vehicle network within site;
3.3. provision of petrol station pylon sign within future
car wash land;
3.4. consideration of traffic impacts as one single
development by applicant’s traffic consultant
(Cirqa);
3.5. consideration of noise impacts as one single
development by applicant’s sound engineer
(Sonus);
3.6. Provision of a single stormwater design to
accommodate both developments, in which all
water quality treatment devices, stormwater
detention and the stormwater discharge point are
located within the site of the carwash not currently
forming part of this development proposal; and
3.7. Sites being benched in a manner to accommodate
internal vehicle movements between sites.
4. Given the interrelated nature of the two developments,
one development could not proceed without the other
element also taking place (particularly as it relates to
vehicle movements and stormwater management).
5. The Council is very concerned about the decision to
treat the single facility as two separate applications. The
application should be amended such that all elements
forming the single facility are considered within one
holistic application. This approach would be consistent
with the Supreme Court decision mentioned above.
Categorisation 1. In isolation Council administration concur with the
decision to categorise the subject Petrol Filling Station
and associated Shop as a Category 2 form of
development and the Car Wash proposal as Category
3. However, yhis decision would be displaced should the
two applications currently before SCAP be amended to
be considered as one holistic application.
2. The consolidation of the two applications as one in the
opinion of Council, would result in the application
constituting a Category 3 form of development. This is
due to the Carwash element not being detailed within
Gawler East Residential Zone Principle of Development
Control 45 and the development not being comprising of
a minor nature (Schedule 9 Clause 2(g) of the
Development Regulations 2008).
3. As detailed above, the decision to split the two proposed
elements into two applications, circumvents the
development as a whole from being considered a
Category 3 form of development.
Properties Notified 1. Council previously had concerns with the extent of
properties notified during the category 2 public
notification period undertaken in relation to the petrol
filling station application. Council understands that the
same properties were directly notified for the purposes
of the Category 3 notification (excluding the Council as
the adjacent reserve owner). This concern was
premised on the interpretation of the definition of
‘adjacent land’ and was raised within Council’s formal
representation submitted to SCAP during the public
notification period. In accordance with the Development
Act 1993, adjacent land is defined as follows:
1.1. adjacent land in relation to other land, means
land—
1.1.1. that abuts on the other land; or
1.1.2. that is no more than 60 metres from the other
land and is directly separated from the other
land only by—
1.1.2.1. a road, street, footpath, railway or
thoroughfare; or
1.1.2.2. a watercourse; or
1.1.2.3. a reserve or other similar open space
2. In the opinion of the Council administration, there are an
additional 6 properties situated within 60 metres of the
subject land that were separated by a Council Reserve
and Road (Calton Road). In accordance with Section 38
Clause (4)(a), notification should have been given to the
owner or occupier of each piece of adjacent land. Upon
Council broaching this concern, SCAP advised that a
number of additional properties were to be notified
separately outside of the original notification period to
address the omission. Of the 6 additional properties
raised by Council, 4 were indicated to be notified by
SCAP during this additional notification.
3. Despite the confirmation of additional public notification
to be undertaken for the petrol filling station, Council
administration still maintain concerns with the extent of
properties notified. This concern is relative to an
additional two properties that should have been notified
in the opinion of Council administration. These two
properties are directly adjacent the subject land and
within 60 metres, separated by Calton Road and the
adjoining public reserve. The two additional properties
are 9 and 10 Norman Court, Gawler East.
Referrals 1. The applicant’s planning consultant within their planning
statement submitted with the application to the SCAP,
notes that the proposed developments do not trigger
any referrals under Schedule 8 of the Development
Regulation 2008.
2. The Council is of the opinion that a referral to the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pursuant to
Schedule 8 Clause 10 (b) (Activities of environmental
significance, development that involves, or is for the
purposes of, an activity specified in Schedule 21) of the
Development Regulations 2008 is triggered by the petrol
filling station application.
3. The proposed petrol station contains two 110Kl
underground fuel storage tanks equalling a total of 220
cubic metres of fuel (being a mixture of hydrocarbons)
which exceeds the nominated value outlined within
Schedule 21 Clause (3) of the Development Regulations
2008. Schedule 21 Clause (3) states:3.1. Hydrocarbon storage or production works: the
conduct of works or a facility—
3.1.1. For the storage of hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon
products in tanks that, in aggregate,
have a storage
capacity—
3.1.2. in any other case—exceeding 100 but not
exceeding 2 000 cubic metres;
4. As this prescribed figure is exceeded, a referral to the
Environmental Protection Agency should be
undertaken.
5. In addition, the Council recommends a referral be
undertaken to SEAGas to ensure compliance with
AS2885 and Zone PDC 36 (b) given that the petrol filling
station application contains higher concentrations of
people (given the continual ongoing nature of the
proposed commercial use) and a fuel source within
close proximity to the SEA Gas high pressure pipeline.

Hi Hannah Residential (Gawler East) – Mixed use centre policy area 3 Please find attached my objection to the proposed car wash, vacuum bays and signage. Well to say that I am very disappointed in the Gawler Council is an understatement. I am aware of the proposed shopping centre in the new Springwood location but not the Service Station or the proposed car wash with vacuum bays and signage. I oppose the development of the proposed car wash with vacuum bays and signage. Rainfall Not sure where you have gathered your information as Gawler East does not get the volume that you have noted. The main street (Murray Street) of Gawler collects more rain than at the top of Gawler East (Hamilton Park Estate). The rain ban circles the district and heads to the Barossa Valley. Yes we do occasionally get rain but not the volumes that you refer to. The run off from the proposed car wash will impact the residents in Evanston as the flow of water will run down the hill in a southerly direction. Footpaths The area is frequented by local residents who regularly walk and ride bikes. There are no footpaths on either side of Calton Road making it a hazard for the all concerned. Phillips Avenue, Gawler East A direct impact is on Phillips Avenue, Gawler East. I agree with the initial closing of the southern end of the street whilst the roundabout construction is taking shape and would like to see this as a permanent fixture. However, using this street as a thoroughfare is highly dangerous. There are no footpaths in ‘Hamilton Park Estate’ forcing residents to walk on the road. Phillips Avenue, Gawler East has three blind bends and with an increase in vehicle traffic the residents are in danger of an accident occurring. Regards, Tracey Edmead 043 937 1040

Notice Of Application To Development.
Leyton Properties Development Pty Ltd
Gawler East Link Road
Calton Road Junction with Link Road
Mobil X Convenience Service Station and Car Wash.
To whom this concerns.
I am a resident of Phillips Avenue Gawler East and a such am expressing my thoughts based on the
invitation to make a submission regarding the above-mentioned Development Application.
I understand that the developer has certain rights regarding how they see fit to develop their land
and their enterprise. One also understands that the developer does not in any way feel a need to be
sensitive to their immediate environment and indeed our own environment. As residents we have
been extremely disappointed with a roundabout being built at the end of our street, but the
proposed development of a service station and car wash has taken this disappointment and
frustration to the extreme. I will make the assumption that the construction will proceed whether
we as residents have any say at all as with most of these situations, we are at the whim of big
enterprises and development planners wherever we reside.
The continual noise and disruption to our environment will be of a nature that as a consequence, our
properties will be greatly de valued and our lifestyle will be greatly disrupted.
The continual noise coming from the wash bays and vacuum units will be unbearable. I have seen
the exact evidence I am talking about at other similar locations in South Australia.
This sounds very much like a case of, Not In My Back Yard. But it is and the result will be a continual
annoyance to many residents in the area.
As I believe this development is a for gone conclusion I can only ask that there is some requirement
for a physical barrier high enough to retard noise and tastefully constructed, to the northern side of
the development, being Calton road as well as the side of the development being the side closest to
the East Link Road. Signage should be kept to a minimum. We will all know it is there.

RE: Development Number 490/E010/19 – Proposed car wash, vacuum bays and signage. Calton
Road Gawler East.
I write to register our objection to this development proposal and to notify you of a desire to mak e
representations to SCAP, concerning this proposal and the connected development proposal
490/E008/19. (Petrol filling station).
Lyn and I reside on the north eastern corner of Calton Road and Phillips Avenue Gawler East,
directly across Calton road from the proposed two developments.
I am aware that the proposed petrol filling station is a category 2 application under the
Development Act 1993 and a letter notifying of the proposed development must be sent to an
owner or occupier of each piece of adjacent land.
We did not receive any letter and on speaking to our local Council (Town of Gawler) we can only
conclude that we are not considered adjacent land. However, we were advised by the Council that
SCAP would be contacting us and those residents within 60 metres of the proposed petrol filling
station. We wait in anticipation.
With regard the Category 3 application 490/E010/19 our issues of concern are:
Proposed road changes to allow access to the development
Traffic issues re vehicle’s and pedestrians
Unsuitable development for proposed lots 2044 and 2050 in DA 490/D026/19)
Noise
Signage design and proposed size.

Re Proposed 24 hour Service Station/Car Wash Facility Adjacent to Phillips Ave Gawler East
SA
As residents of Phillips Ave Gawler East for 19 years, we object to this proposal being
constructed approx. 150 metres from our residence.
Instead of being a quiet residential avenue that we have enjoyed, the continual noise and
traffic will change the character of the area forever.
We are particularly concerned about the number of trees that have been removed in the name
of progress, for which there appears no accountability.
Also with global warming and the increase in electric /hybrid vehicles, is this facility actually
required at all!
While not anti-development, surely any new facility such as proposed should be considerate
of both the environment and existing surrounding residents, not just for the profitability of the
developers. The fact this was mooted in “The Bunyip” on 19/12/19 over the Christmas
season, weI assume, is just coincidental timing.
If this facility is to be built, surely the following amendments would make the proposal far
less intrusive on the surrounds.
1 The car wash and vacuum bays be relocated from fronting Calton Road to the Adelaide
(southern) side of the service station.
2 All access to the site to be limited to the Gawler East Link Road with no direct access to
Calton Road.
3 Replacing the car wash and vacuum bays, a green belt 20 metres wide and raised 3 metres
in the centre be constructed from Wilkinson Court to just short of the overhead power line
along Calton Road, punctuated only by the Gawler East Link Road. This could then be
planted with gums and other native trees and shrubs to replace the trees removed by the
developer. This would then provide an aesthetic and sound deadening barrier far more in
keeping with the local area.
Hopefully, someone in authority will see the merits of our amendments to ensure we do not
end up with an unnecessary eyesore so close to an existing residential area. Developers come
and go but if its approved and built, it is there forever!
Sincerely
Ross W. & Judi A. Gregory

Attention: Hannah Connell, Planning Officer
By Email: [email protected]
Dear Hannah,
RE: DA 490/E010/19 - PROPOSED CAR WASH, VACUUM BAYS AND SIGNAGE AT CALTON
ROAD, GAWLER EAST – RESPONSE TO CATEGORY 3 REPRESENTATIONS
We refer to the proposed development involving the construction of a car wash, vacuum bays and signage at
Calton Road, Gawler East. More specifically, we refer to the representations received during the Category 3
notification process. Ekistics Planning and Design has been engaged by Leyton Property Pty Ltd to respond to
the representations.
At the outset, we note that the proposed car wash and vacuum bays will form part of the new Springwood Town
Centre which is being developed in accordance with:
• A detailed Master Plan prepared by Tract Consulting; and
• The recently approved land division which has created the site of the car wash and the adjoining public
road to the east.
We also note that the subject land is within the 'Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3' of the 'Residential (Gawler
East) Zone' in which a wide range of land uses are contemplated including a "… mix of commercial, retail,
recreation, community, residential, office, consulting rooms and educational uses" (Objective 1).
While a 'car wash' is not specifically listed as an envisaged form of development in the Policy Area, a number of
other complementary land uses, such as a petrol filling station, are listed. For this reason, we consider that the
proposed land use is appropriate in this location, is consistent with the wide range of land uses sought by the
Development Plan and will complement the other proposed developments in the Springwood Town Centre.
1. Response to Representations
Following the Category 3 public notification process, nine (9) representations were forwarded for the applicant’s
response. The location of the nine (9) representors is identified on Figure 2.1 and Table 2.1 on the following
page.

The representations raised a number of concerns which we have summarised under the following key planning
themes:
• Suitability of the land use;
• Increased traffic and congestion;
REF #00846-002 | 25 February 2020 3
• Increased noise;
• Visual impact; and
• Connection with the proposed petrol filling station.
Each theme is addressed respectively below.
Suitability of the Land Use
Several representations raised concerns about the suitability of the proposed land use for the site with one
representor suggesting that an additional car wash was not required in this area. In response, we reiterate that
the Residential (Gawler East) Zone contemplates a wide range of land uses within broadly defined areas that are
illustrated at a high-level on the Gawler East Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G. The Structure
Plan identifies areas that will be developed for residential uses as well as other areas that are intended to be
developed as a 'Mixed Use Centre' and 'Neighbourhood Centres'. This policy framework has been established to
ensure that the future population of Springwood (which is likely to be in the order of 6,000 people), has
convenient access to services and facilities such as shops, petrol filling stations, car wash facilities and child care
centres.
The mix of services and facilities desired by the Development Plan is more particularly expressed within Obj 1
and the Desired Character of the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area:
Policy Area
Obj 1: A functional and diverse zone accommodating a mix of commercial, retail, recreation, community,
residential, office, consulting rooms and educational uses.
Desired Character (extract)
Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 will accommodate retail, commercial, community, education and formal
recreation facilities and clubrooms to service the local community.
---
Low impact, commercial business activities that provide employment opportunities for the local population
are envisaged. Such development will need to have particular regard to ensuring that minimal off-site
impacts occur with respect to noise, air, water and waste emissions, commercial traffic generation and
movement.
---
Commercial business activities and retail facilities will be established in the Neighbourhood Centre area
indicated on Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G.
---
In addition, specific guidance in relation to envisaged land uses is provided in PDC 1 of the Policy Area. While
PDC 1 does not list a 'car wash', it does list a 'petrol filling station' as an envisaged use. Given that many modern
REF #00846-002 | 25 February 2020 4
petrol filling stations also have a car wash element, and given that the Policy Area seeks a diverse mix of land
uses (including commercial development), the car wash is an appropriate land use on the subject site.
Increased Traffic
Several representors raised concerns in relation to increased traffic levels including the potential that Phillips
Avenue will be used as a thoroughfare. In response, we note that the Gawler East Structure Plan Map Ga/1
(Overlay 1) Enlargement G identifies that the Gawler East Link Road will be constructed adjacent the site and is
forecast to deliver a significant volume of traffic (in the order of 6,500 vehicles per day) past the subject site to a
proposed roundabout on Calton Road. This increase in traffic will occur whether or not the proposed car wash
or petrol filling station are developed on the subject site.
We also note that CIRQA Traffic Engineers has assessed the traffic impacts of the proposed car wash along with
the proposed petrol filling station which is proceeding via a separate development application. CIRQA has
estimated that there will be "… in the order of 110 'passing trade' trips and 80 additional ('new') trips …" in the
peak hour associated with the two developments (car wash and petrol filling station). CIRQA also anticipated
that these movements "… will be relatively evenly distributed between Calton Road (to/from the west of the site)
and the collector road (to/from the south of the site) with only a small proportion of movements distributed
to/from the east along Calton Road".
In terms of the traffic impact of the two development applications, CIRQA has noted:
The potential traffic generation associated with future commercial development on the subject site was
included as part of previous traffic assessments prepared for the broader Springwood development. The
analysis of the overall traffic impacts has therefore considered the impact of the development of the site and
the future road network and infrastructure interventions have been designed accordingly. Detailed analysis of
the traffic impact of the proposal is therefore not warranted.
Nevertheless, it is noted that right-turn out movements from the site will be restricted (by central median on
both frontage roads). This will minimise impacts on through bound movements on Calton Road and the
collector road, and maximise safety at the site access points. Drivers wishing to head right-out on Calton
Road or right-out on the collector road will be able to undertake a left-out of the collector road access point
and then utilise the roundabout to complete their desired journey. The remaining movements at the access
points are low conflict movements. There will be adequate sight distance provisions and drivers will be able to
safely and appropriately enter and exit the traffic stream. Separated right-turn treatments are also proposed
to minimise impact of right turning vehicles on through bound movements on the adjacent roads.
On the basis of the above, it is considered that the impact of the proposal on the adjacent road network will
be minimal (particularly given the broader assessment and associated road layout has taken into account the
potential development of the site).
Based on CIRQA's assessment, the proposed development appropriately addresses the key provisions in the
Development Plan in relation to transportation and access.
REF #00846-002 | 25 February 2020 5
Increased noise
A number of representors raised concerns about increased levels of noise. In response, we note that the
proposed car wash includes a number of acoustic measures which are designed to restrict the transfer of noise.
In addition, Sonus Acoustic Engineers have prepared a detailed acoustic assessment which was included in the
original development application. Importantly, this assessment also factors in the anticipated noise that is likely
to be generated by the petrol filling station which is progressing via a separate development application.
The Sonus assessment notes that the proposed development will achieve the relevant noise criteria expressed
in the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 subject to the following restrictions as well as a number of
relatively modest treatments which have generally been reflected on the architectural plans:
• The automatic and manual wash bays as well as the vacuums bays are not be used between the hours
of 10pm and 7am; and
• Waste collection only occurs between the hours of 9am and 7pm on a Sunday or public holiday and 7am
and 7pm on any other day.
More specifically, Sonus conclude as follows:
An environmental noise assessment has been made of the proposed development at the corner of Calton Road
and the Gawler East Link Road, Springwood.
The assessment considers noise levels at nearby existing residences from vehicle movements, car park activity,
fuel deliveries, automatic and manual wash bays, vacuum bays, rubbish collection and mechanical plant
servicing the facility.
The predicted noise levels from the development will achieve the relevant noise criteria, derived in accordance
with the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 subject to the treatments in this report, comprising;
• Installing doors to the automatic wash bays;
• Installing acoustic absorption within the manual wash bays;
• Upgrading the roof of the automatic wash bay and plant room;
• Screening the roof top plant and restricting its noise levels subject to a subsequent design
phase review;
• Reducing the noise from any alarms as far as practical;
• Ensuring all inspection points, grated trenches, etc. are correctly fixed;
• Restricting the times for rubbish collection and fuel deliveries; and
• Restricting the times for use of the wash facilities.
It is therefore considered that the facility has been designed to minimise adverse impacts, avoid unreasonable
interference on amenity, and will not detrimentally affect the locality by way of noise, thereby achieving the
relevant provisions of the Development Plan related to environmental noise.
REF #00846-002 | 25 February 2020 6
Visual impact
A number of representors raised a concern about the visual impact of the proposed car wash. Some
representors suggested that the car wash should not be located on Calton Road while others suggested that a
'20m wide green belt' or a physical barrier should be constructed to screen the development. In response to
these concerns, we once again note that the subject land sits within the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 which
contemplates non-residential development in this location. We also note that, by their very nature, 'vehicle'
related land uses such as car washes and petrol filling stations need to be sited on significant roads such as
Calton Road and the Gawler East Link Road in order to 'capture' passing trade.
Further to the above, it is noted that almost all of the representors are separated and shielded from the subject
site by a 20m wide vegetated reserve running along the northern side of Calton Road (see Figure 2). The
vegetated buffer, combined with a separation distance of at least 45m between the subject site and the
residential development to the north, provides an effective screen thereby reducing the visual impact of the
proposed development.
Figure 2 Locality showing 20m vegetated reserve on the northern side of Calton Road
REF #00846-002 | 25 February 2020 7
In addition to the above, the proposed development includes a 1.5m wide landscaped strip along the Calton
Road frontage which will include mass plantings of assorted groundcovers and low shrubs. This landscaping will
assist to soften the appearance of the proposed car wash when viewed from Calton Road and the residential
properties to the north.
Connection with the proposed petrol filling station
The Town of Gawler has suggested that the proposed development should be assessed in association with the
separate petrol filling station as one single development application. More specifically, the Council has
suggested that the car wash can not proceed without the petrol filling station. This is incorrect. The car wash
has been designed to operate as a standalone facility and is not dependent on the petrol filling station. While
the proposed car wash will share the same access and stormwater arrangements as the petrol filling station,
these elements will be required whether or not the petrol station proceeds. For this reason, the proposed
access and stormwater arrangements have been included in both applications. This means that if one of the
developments does not proceed for whatever reason, the other application can proceed unhindered.
Notwithstanding the above, we note that the traffic, stormwater and acoustic reports have considered the
cumulative impact of both development applications. This is intended to provide a clearer picture of how the
site will ultimately operate in terms of traffic movements, stormwater management and acoustic treatments.
As mentioned, should the petrol filling station not proceed for some reason, the car wash can be constructed
and operated as a standalone facility.
Other matters
A number of other matters which were raised by the representors have been addressed below:
• Increased run-off from the site – this has been addressed in the Stormwater Management Plan prepared
by Sagero Engineers which demonstrates that stormwater will be managed appropriately;
• Lack of footpaths on Calton Road – it is understood that the associated land division is proposing to
construct a footpath on the southern side of Calton Road which will improve pedestrian connectivity in
the area;
• Global warming and increase in electric/hybrid vehicles – it is unclear how these matters are directly
applicable to the subject application for a car wash;
• Increased odours – the proposed development does not include any activities that have the potential to
detrimentally affect the locality in terms of additional odours;
• Increased lighting – while the proposed development will increase the amount of lighting in the locality,
we reiterate that the Development Plan seeks a range of non-residential development in this area which
inevitable will lead to an increase in lighting;
• Increased signage – the proposed signage is relatively modest and is consistent with the type and design
of signage that is typically associated with development of this nature;
• Devaluation of properties – this is not a relevant issue in the assessment of development applications;
REF #00846-002 | 25 February 2020 8
• Landscaping, fencing and retaining walls – while the exact nature of the concerns are unclear, it is noted
that the proposal includes landscaping along both road frontages and the height of the retaining walls
(up to 2.4m) and fencing (1.8m) is not considered excessive given the required earthworks;
• Notification of additional properties – it is understood that the Department of Planning, Transport and
Infrastructure has undertaken the notification process correctly in accordance with the Development
Act 1993 and Development Regulations 2008; and
• Timing of consent – given that the associated land division, which creates the site and the associated
public road to the east, has now been approved, there is no reason to delay the assessment of the
proposed car wash.
2. Conclusion
Following our review of the representations received during the Category 3 notification process, we remain of
the view that the proposal warrants Development Plan Consent for the following reasons:
• The proposed land use is consistent with the intent of the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 which seeks
a "… functional and diverse zone accommodating a mix of commercial, retail, recreation, community,
residential, office, consulting rooms and educational uses";
• The subject site is identified as a Neighbourhood Centre within the Gawler East Structure Plan Map
Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G as well as the Springwood Masterplan;
• The location and design of the proposed development will complement other proposed development
in the Springwood 'village centre' such as the petrol filling station proposed to be co-located on the
subject site (forming part of a separate Development Application) as well as the supermarket and
specialty shops to the south (forming part of a separate Development Application);
• The proposed development has been designed to address Calton Road, and the building provides visual
interest through the use of a variety of building materials, complementary colours and articulation;
• A coordinated signage theme is proposed, with the signage reflective of the proposed use as a car
wash;
• The proposed development has been designed to accommodate safe and convenient movements for
vehicles, and the CIRQA report concludes that sufficient onsite parking will be provided to cater for the
anticipated parking demand;
• Stormwater will be managed and treated appropriately;
• Interface issues have been addressed appropriately to ensure that the proposed development will
achieve the criteria of the Environment Protection (Noise) Policy 2007 as demonstrated in the
Environmental Noise Assessment prepared by Sonus; and
• The proposed landscaping will assist to soften the appearance of the building and hardstand areas
when viewed from the adjoining roads which will assist to enhance the amenity of the locality
REF #00846-002 | 25 February 2020 9
The proposed development is therefore highly aligned with the most relevant provisions of the Development
Plan and warrants Development Plan Consent, subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
We trust that you now have sufficient information to finalise your assessment of the proposed development to
enable the application to be presented at the March 12 meeting of the State Commission Assessment Panel
(SCAP). We would appreciate the opportunity to address the SCAP and answer any questions that Member's
may have.
If any further information is required, please contact the undersigned on (08) 7231 0286.
Yours Sincerely

RESIDENTIAL (GAWLER EAST) ZONE
Introduction
The Objectives and Principles of Development Control that follow apply in the Residential (Gawler East) Zone shown on Gawler Maps Ga/5, 6, 9 and 20 and Policy Areas Map Ga/15 and 17. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of the Council area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1: A predominately residential area comprising a range of low and medium-density dwellings, with associated integrated infrastructure, retail, commercial, recreational, educational and community development in master-planned locations in accordance with Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G.
Objective 2: Development sensitive to the particular topography of the area and which has minimal visual and environmental impacts.
Objective 3: A residential zone comprising a range of dwellings types, including a minimum of 15 percent affordable housing.
Objective 4: Increased dwelling densities in close proximity to centres, future public transport routes and public open spaces.
Objective 5: Open space systems designed to provide multiple use reserve areas that promote water management, habitat retention and enhancement, and recreational linkages.
Objective 6: Development that achieves co-ordination in allotment configuration and physical and community infrastructure provision.
Objective 7: Development that contributes to the desired character of the zone.
DESIRED CHARACTER
The Residential (Gawler East) Zone is located within both the Town of Gawler and The Barossa Council. The Gawler East area encompasses broad hectare land which is expected to support a population of approximately 10 000 persons.
The zone will develop in accordance with Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G and be undertaken in an orderly manner that achieves the most efficient use of land, the extension or expansion of infrastructure services and the timely provision of community facilities. No more than 1000 allotments should be created within the area defined by Gawler East Development Constraints Concept Plan Figure CoP/5 until such time as the Gawler East Link Road is complete.
The zone will accommodate a diversity of housing forms. The Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 will comprise a mix of residential development and a range of commercial, retail, educational, recreational and community facilities. A smaller range of retail facilities, together with compact housing are anticipated within the Local Centre Policy Area 19.
It is essential that development respects and enhances the natural attributes of the zone through the retention of significant views, creek lines, native vegetation and locations of ecological significance. Innovative and best practice solutions in respect to water reuse, grey water supply and stormwater management will be implemented. Retention of on-site stormwater will be maximised where practical. Any stormwater leaving the site will be dispersed to reduce the risk of erosion to the natural surroundings and impacts to the downstream receiving waters.
Dwellings will range between 1 and 3 storeys in height; however buildings at the interface with adjoining zones other than the Open Space Zone will not exceed 2 storeys.
Buildings of between 3 and 5 storeys, such as apartment buildings, will be located in the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3, the former quarry area, adjacent to open space, and where necessary to frame the end of important or significant vistas. It is important that development achieve a clear transition in building height for a cohesive streetscape.
Housing forms will be simple and incorporate a high degree of articulation to the street façade while delivering a mix of housing types and forms to provide interesting streetscapes and promote social interaction. This will include the provision of recessed of vehicle garaging and the inclusion of front verandas/porticos and appropriate landscaping.
The delivery of housing diversity will require innovative solutions for front or rear access and parking. Rear access will be provided in the form of ‘service lanes’, which support vehicular access requirements at reduced speeds providing a safe pedestrian environment. At the land division stage, on-street car parking should be provided near areas of proposed medium to high density developments.
Allotment configuration is envisaged to be compact particularly within the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3, with building setbacks minimised to assist in facilitating an enclosed and active street. This will incorporate opportunities for multi-storey apartments, terrace and rear lane mews housing that will achieve a range of housing types within a single street.
The slope of the land will dictate the location of particular dwelling types, with some more compact dwelling types located on relatively flat sites, whilst more traditional dwelling types will be located on those portions of the site with moderate to high slope. On topographically steep sites alternative design solutions, such as split level dwellings, that are able to meet desired earthworks and driveway gradient outcomes are appropriate.
The form and distribution of major open space will be influenced by Council Wide Open Space Development Plan provisions and by the need for integrated stormwater detention, treatment and re-use given limitations on the potable water supply for the area. It will also be influenced by the location of natural drainage corridors, and the need to integrate with existing corridors, including the eastern escarpment at Evanston Park. Public open space areas will need to accommodate both active and passive recreation opportunities and the retention of identified conservation areas.
A co-ordinated network of linear parks, including cohesive pedestrian and bicycle movement corridors and visual links, will be established between the new development and adjoining natural creek lines, public recreation areas, local shopping and community services and surrounding road networks.
Steeper environments and watercourses that are proposed to be vested to Council as reserves and/or easements, will be restored to an appropriate natural state in consultation with the Town of Gawler.
Steeper slopes result in higher bushfire risk. Providing vehicle access between the Open Space Zone and residential development together with appropriate buffers assists in managing bushfire risk. Reference to Australian Standard AS3959 – 2009 (incorporating amendments to 2009 and 2011) is recommended to inform and reduce bushfire risk. Any revegetation of areas will take into account the level of bushfire risk, local topography and the need for ongoing management of bushfire risk, ensuring significant hazards are neither created nor exacerbated.
Reserves for public purposes such as active and passive recreation and stormwater management, including the provision of associated infrastructure, will be designed to an appropriate standard and level of service suitable to the locality to ensure long term economic, environmental and social sustainability.
Portion of the eastern boundary of the zone is located adjacent to the Para Woodland Reserve. It is essential that development form an appropriate interface with the Para Woodland Reserve. The interface will act as a buffer between the residential area and the Reserve, balancing access, management of bushfire risk, management of potential invasion by pest plants, minimising the impact of domestic pets on native wildlife and as a provision of open space. The interface will vary in width as appropriate to meet the above criteria and will comprise of a combination of roads, paths, public open space and, where appropriate, areas of natural character for stormwater management. Where housing is included in the interface area it is expected that houses will address the Reserve. The
interface area will be planted with locally indigenous species (mainly groundcovers and low shrubs) selected to minimise the bushfire risk by providing an area of reduced fuel hazard.
The north-eastern, eastern and southern boundary of the zone adjoins agricultural, rural and rural living land. It is essential that development provide an appropriate buffer between dwellings and land used for agriculture. Larger allotments together with open space and road networks and increased dwelling setbacks will be established at the peripheries of the zone boundary in order to provide an appropriate low density transition and interface with adjacent rural and rural living land.
The Gawler East Link Road shown on Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G is intended to have a boulevard character comprising wide footpaths and cycle paths on both sides and substantive street tree plantings. Dwellings will front and address the road with setbacks to contribute to the boulevard character. In addition, dwellings fronting the road will be sited, designed and constructed to mitigate traffic noise impacts.
Infrastructure Corridors have been created in response to the presence of key public infrastructure, namely 132 kV and 275 kV transmission lines. This infrastructure comprises a significant component of the State’s high voltage power transmission network. The zone provisions are aimed at protecting this significant public infrastructure from encroachment by incompatible land uses and protecting the infrastructure corridors from being fragmented by land division and therefore ensuring on-going access for maintenance is available and that the security and reliability of the power network is not compromised. No residential allotments should infringe on the corridors or existing easements. These corridors provide the opportunity for co-locating compatible land use activities such as other appropriate infrastructure, at-grade car parking and roads, a linear park or a cycling/walking trail.
Development should have regard to the impact of high noise emission and adverse air quality sources, such as from the high-pressure gas transmission pipeline valve, non-residential development and the Gawler East Link Road. Dwellings fronting this road will be sited, designed and constructed to mitigate traffic noise and adverse air quality impacts.
An Aboriginal heritage survey has been undertaken for the Gawler East area. It indicates that prior to colonial contact the South Para River and its tributaries were associated with long-term seasonal Aboriginal occupation, with adjoining hill crests providing views of culturally significant landscape features and surveillance for the Kaurna Nation peoples. While there has since been a high level of ground disturbance in the area, there is the potential for future activities to disturb sub-surface archaeological deposits particularly along the banks of the South Para River. Activities within this area which may damage, disturb or interfere with any Aboriginal site or object need to be undertaken in accordance with the provisions of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1988.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Land Use
1 The following forms of development are envisaged in the zone:
Affordable housing Aged persons’ accommodation Community facilities Domestic outbuilding in association with a dwelling Domestic structure Dwelling Dwelling addition Dwelling with associated home based business uses Land division Non-residential use that serves the local community, for example:
- child care facility - health and welfare service - open space - pre-school - primary and secondary school
- recreation area - shop, office or consulting room
Retirement village Supported accommodation
2 Development listed as non-complying is generally inappropriate.
Form and Character
3 Development should not be undertaken unless it is consistent with the desired character for the zone.
4 Development should occur in accordance with Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G.
5 Road reserves should be of a width, design and alignment that can:
(a) provide for safe and convenient movement and parking of vehicles and other users according to projected vehicle volumes, speeds and the character of the road;
(b) accommodate bus routes where required;
(c) provide for shared, on-street parking bays for nearby residents and visitors wherever practical to achieve unrestricted movement along collector roads;
(d) allow vehicles to enter or reverse from an allotment or garage in a single movement, allowing for cars parked on the opposite side of the road (where applicable) or fixed infrastructure on the street;
(e) allow for the efficient movement of service and emergency vehicles; and
(f) accommodate street planting, landscaping, street furniture and utilities infrastructure.
6 Direct allotment access may be provided to the Gawler East Link Road:
(a) where the Road gradient is not more than 8 percent at the point the driveway accesses the Road; or
(b) where the Road gradient is more than 8 percent if the allotment has a regular frontage of at least 25 metres.
7 Dwellings fronting the Gawler East Link Road should be sited, designed and constructed to mitigate traffic noise and adverse air quality impacts.
8 The use and placement of outbuildings should be ancillary to and in association with a dwelling or dwellings.
Land Division
9 Land division should facilitate the provision of a broad range of housing options, including affordable housing.
10 Land division should accommodate open space and movement networks that provide for strong connections and safe and convenient access to public facilities, public transport and potential future development of adjoining sites.
11 Land division:
(a) should not exceed 1000 allotments until at least the following infrastructure indicated by Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G has been constructed:
(i) the Gawler East Link Road between Calton Road and Gawler - One Tree Hill Road; and
(ii) the Gawler East Link Road between Gawler - One Tree Hill Road and Potts Road; and
(iii) an upgrade of Potts Road and its intersection with Main North Road to accommodate the traffic flows associated with further continued development.
(b) should not prejudice the construction of the Gawler East Link Road as detailed in the Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G and associated pedestrian and bicycle paths, landscaping treatments and public lighting.
(c) should facilitate the construction of on and off-site stormwater management systems and community facilities.
12 Land division creating reserves containing steeper environments and watercourses, that are proposed to be vested to Council, should be restored to an appropriate natural state through the removal of declared plant species, control of other environmental weeds and the planting and management of native vegetation in order to achieve desired amenity, recreation, conservation, biodiversity, management of bushfire risk and ongoing management outcomes.
13 Land division creating reserves for public purposes such as stormwater management and active and passive recreation, including the provision of associated infrastructure, should be designed to an appropriate standard and level of service suitable for the locality to ensure long term economic, environmental and social sustainability.
14 Rear lanes should:
(a) have a minimum reserve width of 6.5 metres;
(b) be limited in length to a maximum of 100 metres;
(c) have a minimum carriageway width of 5.5 metres;
(d) include protuberances to accommodate landscaping and lighting should not exceed 1.0 metre;
(e) landscaping should be in the form of tall vertical trees in preference to low level shrubs;
(f) be designed to accommodate garbage trucks and emergency service vehicles.
15 Public lighting should be provided to all public roads, laneways, paths and open spaces.
16 Development with frontage to the eastern side of the Gawler – One Tree Hill scenic road should be established on allotments of no less than 1000 square metres in area and incorporate high quality of building articulation and appropriate landscaping between buildings and the road in order to retain distant vistas, ensure visual interest and a scenic landscape character along this corridor.
17 Land located west of the South Para River should not be divided for the purpose of creating additional allotments unless forming part of an integrated development scheme where all infrastructure is delivered to service the land in an orderly and economic manner including potable water supply, grey water supply, waste water disposal, formed all-weather public roads and access, and stormwater disposal.
18 Detention and/or retention basins should incorporate good design techniques that:
(a) allow sediments to settle so as to treat stormwater prior to discharge into watercourses;
(b) allow for sediments to be easily removed from the basin and disposed of off-site;
(c) ensure human health and safety, particular with respect to high velocity drainage points;
(d) ensures the control of mosquitoes and nuisance insects (e.g. midges); and
(e) ensure detention and retention infrastructure (in conjunction with Water Sensitive Design) is designed to have a capacity that limits outflow to predevelopment flow rates in a 100 year ARI event
(f) improve water quality through treatment of detained water.
19 Transmission lines should be protected from encroachment through the provision of:
(a) a 30 metre wide corridor (15 metres each side from the centreline) for the 132kV line;
(b) a 100 metre wide corridor for the 275kV line as required by relevant authorities.
20 Residential allotments should not be created within the Major Transmission Infrastructure Corridors shown on Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G, or within the existing easements for the 132kV and 275kV transmission lines.
Land Use and Density
21 Housing with an average site area for dwellings less than 250 square metres should be located within the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area and Local Centre Policy Area or within walking distance of public open space, local shops and public facilities.
Built Form/Setbacks
22 Buildings should not exceed the following heights:
(a) two storey development for properties adjacent to the boundary of adjoining zones other than the Open Space Zone;
(b) three storeys for the balance of the zone, other than apartment/mixed use buildings within the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area where a 5 storey limit applies.
23 Where allotments have direct frontage to an open space reserve, housing should address the reserve and incorporate a high quality design outcome (i.e. articulation of building facades) and that promotes casual surveillance (i.e. windows and open style fencing that promotes surveillance).
24 Where an allotment immediately adjoins public open space, clear, safe and convenient pedestrian access should be provided to the dwelling.
25 Residential building setbacks should satisfy the minimum dimensions outlined in Table 1 except where a proposed plan of division is accompanied by a building envelope plan that demonstrates that lesser building setbacks will contribute to the achievement of the desired character for the zone:

(b) Separate areas are provided for the provision of a rainwater tank and the storage of refuse and recycling bins.
Upper level dwellings
Minimum area of private open space
(a) 8 square metres and accessible from a living room.
Amenity and Public Spaces
27 Residential development should have regard to existing and possible future noise and adverse air quality sources, such as from the high pressure gas transmission pipeline valve, the Gawler East Link Road and non-residential developments, with respect to site layout, orientation, design and construction to ensure a safe and comfortable residential environment and to minimise conflict with existing non-residential activities
28 Development should balance the desire for an open streetscape and passive surveillance with the need for functional privacy. Clear delineation should be provided between public and private spaces, which may incorporate fencing, landscaping or a combination of these elements.
29 Retaining walls greater than 1.0 metre in height should:
(a) not be directly visible from a public road or the public realm
(b) where located between a building and a road frontage, be stepped in increments of not more than 1.0 metre
(c) not cause significant adverse impacts on the amenity of adjacent properties, particularly in relation to overshadowing, cutting off light or views.
30 Residential development should provide an area for the storage of waste receptacles that is screened from primary and secondary street frontages.
31 Development should be designed and sited to relate to the slope of the land, so that:
(a) the bulk and scale of the buildings do not dominate the landscape;
(b) the amount of cut and fill is minimised.
32 Fences should be located to minimise their visual impact and be constructed of materials which are of a low light-reflective nature.
Bushfire Protection
33 To protect against bushfire, dwellings should not be sited within 40 metres of a slope greater than 20 degrees, where the length of the slope is greater than 10 metres and covered by unmanaged vegetation.
Separation of Use
34 Development should be designed and sited to minimise negative impact on existing and potential future land uses considered appropriate in the locality.
35 Residential development adjacent to non-residential zones and land uses should be located, designed and/or sited to protect residents from potential adverse impacts from non-residential activities.
High Pressure Gas Pipeline
36 Development, including land division, in the vicinity of a high pressure pipeline, as depicted on Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G, should:
(a) not affect the continued operation of the pipeline infrastructure
(b) be located, designed, and developed having regard to the location of the infrastructure and the potential public safety impacts.
Car Parking
37 For each dwelling, the maximum width (including the width of any support structure) of any garage or carport opening that faces a street, should be no greater than six metres or 50 percent of the frontage width, whichever is the lesser, except where a site has a frontage of less than 12 metres and the dwelling is:
(a) two or more storeys; and
(b) incorporates protrusions such as verandas, projecting windows, porches, balconies etc. which provide articulation in the building as it presents to the street, in which case garages or carports should have a maximum width of 6 metres or 80 percent of the width of the site, whichever is the lesser.
38 No maximum width applies to garage or carport openings where a site has rear vehicular access and from which vehicular access is obtained.
39 Development within Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 and Local Centre Policy Area 19 should have car parking in accordance with the following table based on calculations relating to net-leasable floor areas:
Form of Development No. of required car spaces
Apartment 1 space for every unit plus 1 additional space for every 5 2-bedroom units plus 1 additional space for every 3 bedroom unit with a visitor park of 1 space for every 5 units.
Bank 5.5 spaces per 100 square metres
Office 4 spaces per 100 square metres
Shop 5.5 spaces per 100 square metres
Affordable Housing
40 Development should include a minimum 15 percent of residential dwellings for affordable housing.
41 Affordable housing should be distributed throughout the zone to avoid over-concentration of similar types of housing in a particular area.
Infrastructure Coordination
42 Development, including land division, should only occur once required physical and community infrastructure is either provided, or a legally binding agreement has been executed for the provision of the infrastructure items, including the following:
(a) Gawler East Link Road as illustrated on Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G, and associated traffic interventions (road and intersection upgrades);
(b) public lighting, pedestrian and bicycle paths and associated landscaping treatments associated with the Gawler East Link Road;
(c) community facilities (including recreation facilities); and
(d) stormwater management systems.

MIXED USE CENTRE POLICY AREA 3
Introduction
The Objectives and Principles of Development Control that follow apply in the Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 of the Residential (Gawler East) Zone shown on Policy Areas Map Ga/15. They are additional to those expressed for the whole of the Council area.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 1: A functional and diverse zone accommodating a mix of commercial, retail, recreation, community, residential, office, consulting rooms and educational uses.
Objective 2: Development that minimises any adverse impacts upon the amenity of the locality within the policy area.
Objective 3: Development that contributes to the desired character of the policy area.
DESIRED CHARACTER
Mixed Use Centre Policy Area 3 will accommodate retail, commercial, community, education and formal recreation facilities and clubrooms to service the local community. It is envisaged that a full range of residential development will form an integral component of this policy area to activate it outside of commercial and retail business hours. Housing forms will include, but not be limited to, mixed use development within a single building where dwellings will typically be established above non-residential land uses.
Low impact, commercial business activities that provide employment opportunities for the local population are envisaged. Such development will need to have particular regard to ensuring that minimal off-site impacts occur with respect to noise, air, water and waste emissions, commercial traffic generation and movement.
A retail facility, not exceeding 10 000 square metres in floor area, will comprise a supermarket and a range of specialty shops to serve the weekly shopping needs of the community. Restaurants, cafes, hotels (incorporating dining) and take away outlets are envisaged and will develop the centre as a destination point and provide uses that extend the hours of the centres operation to promote surveillance and safety of the adjacent recreation and education facilities.
Commercial business activities and retail facilities will be established in the Neighbourhood Centre area indicated on Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1) Enlargement G.
It is envisaged that community facilities and additional educational establishments will be established to complement the existing role of the Gawler Township. Future educational establishments will be
located in accordance with the Structure Plan Map Ga/1 (Overlay 1). Schools are expected to form a focal point for the new community providing opportunities for the establishment of significant buildings and shared open space.
In terms of urban design and built form, a ‘main street’ environment will be created, where buildings address the street and car parks are primarily located to the rear. In order to minimise the overall extent of off street parking shared car parking is encouraged, and the convenience, availability and function of on street parking in mixed use environments will be recognised.
Gathering points for formal and informal community events will be established, either by means of a central pedestrian plaza, a village green or series of nodes.
Commercial and mixed use buildings will be established close to the street frontage and incorporate verandas and other protruding elements in order to create a pedestrian-friendly environment and outdoor dining opportunities. These areas will be enhanced by large street trees, high quality paving, lighting and street furniture. Building facades will be designed in a manner to create diversity of interest through the appearance of an aggregation of smaller buildings.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
Land Use
1 The following forms of development are envisaged in the policy area:
Advertisement Bank Child care centre Community facility Consulting room Detached dwelling Educational establishment Group dwelling Health centre Home activity Hospital Hotel Indoor recreation centre Library Licensed premises Motel Nursing home Office Office and dwelling Personal service establishment Petrol filling station Place of worship Pre-school Recreation area Residential flat building Restaurant Retail showroom Row dwelling Semi-detached dwelling Serviced accommodation Shop Shop and dwelling Supermarket.
2 Development listed as non-complying is generally inappropriate.
Form and Character
3 Development should be designed to ensure that:
(a) buildings are designed to address the street frontage with servicing areas located internal to the centre and appropriately screened from public view;
(b) the establishment of shared car parking areas to the rear of buildings and on-street.
4 Public space established should be activated by uses around its edges.
5 Buildings should have a maximum of 5 storeys in height.
6 Development should not be undertaken unless it is consistent with the desired character for the policy area.
7 Filling of land and retaining walls exceeding 1.0 metre in height are appropriate where they are associated with the remediation and development of the former quarry site.
General Provisions
Interface Between Land Uses
OBJECTIVES
Objective 42: Development located and designed to minimise adverse impact and conflict between land uses.
Objective 43: Protect community health and amenity from adverse impacts of development.
Objective 44: Protect desired land uses from the encroachment of incompatible development.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
107 Development should not detrimentally affect the amenity of the locality or cause unreasonable interference through any of the following:
(a) the emission of effluent, odour, smoke, fumes, dust or other airborne pollutants;
(b) noise;
(c) vibration;
(d) electrical interference;
(e) light spill;
(f) glare;
(g) hours of operation;
(h) traffic impacts.
Access 354 Development should have direct access from an all weather public road. 355 Development should be provided with safe and convenient access which: (a) avoids unreasonable interference with the flow of traffic on adjoining roads;
(b) accommodates the type and volume of traffic likely to be generated by the development or land use and minimises induced traffic through over-provision; (c) is sited and designed to minimise any adverse impacts on the occupants of and visitors to neighbouring properties. Vehicle Parking 362 Development should be consistent with Australian Standard AS 2890 Parking facilities.
Infrastructure PDC 370 A Traffic Impact Study should be undertaken to determine the potential impact of developments on the surrounding arterial road network. Works that are required as a direct result of providing safe and efficient access to any proposed development should be provided. Crime Prevention Objective 20: A safe, secure, crime resistant environment where land uses are integrated and designed to facilitate community surveillance. Noise Generating Activities 113 Development that emits noise (other than music noise) should include noise attenuation measures that achieve the relevant Environment Protection (Noise) Policy criteria when assessed at the nearest existing noise sensitive premises. 114 Development with the potential to emit significant noise (e.g. industry) should incorporate noise attenuation measures that prevent noise from causing unreasonable interference with the amenity of noise sensitive premises. Outdoor Advertisements The context for advertising or advertising displays is critical in assessing the compatibility of the development with the Desired Future Character or character of a locality or zone. Signage types are defined in Table Ga/4.
OBJECTIVES
Objective 69: An urban environment and rural landscape not disfigured by advertisements.
Objective 70: Advertisements in retail, commercial and industrial urban areas, and centre zones, designed to enhance the appearance of those areas.
Objective 71: Advertisements not hazardous to any person.
PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
199 Advertising and advertising displays should, in addition to general provisions, conform with the performance criteria in Table Ga/4. 200 The location, siting, size, shape and materials of construction, of advertisements should be: (a) consistent with the desired character of areas or zones as described by their objectives; (b) consistent with the predominant character of the urban or rural landscape; or (c) in harmony with any building or site of historic significance or heritage value in the locality. 201 Advertisements should not detrimentally affect by way of their siting, size, shape, scale, glare, reflection or colour the amenity of areas, zones, or localities, in which they are situated. 202 Advertisements should not impair the amenity of areas, zones, or localities, in which they are situated by creating, or adding to, clutter, visual disorder and the untidiness of buildings and spaces. 204 The scale of advertisements should be compatible with the buildings on which they are situated and with nearby buildings and spaces. 209 Advertisements should not create a hazard to persons travelling by any means.
210 Advertisements should not obscure a driver's view of other road vehicles, of rail vehicles at or approaching level crossings, of pedestrians and of features of the road such as junctions, bends, changes in width, traffic control devices and the like that are potentially hazardous. 211 Advertisements should not be so highly illuminated as to cause discomfort to an approaching driver, or create difficulty in his perception of the road, or of persons or objects on it.
Natural Resources
Objective 58: Storage and use of stormwater which avoids adverse impact on public health and safety. PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT CONTROL
152 Development should include stormwater management systems to protect it from damage during a minimum of a 1-in-100 year average return interval flood. 153 Development should have adequate provision to control any stormwater over-flow runoff from the site and should be sited and designed to improve the quality of stormwater and minimise pollutant transfer to receiving waters. 154 Development should include stormwater management systems to mitigate peak flows and manage the rate and duration of stormwater discharges from the site to ensure the carrying capacities of downstream systems are not overloaded. 155 Development should include stormwater management systems to minimise the discharge of sediment, suspended solids, organic matter, nutrients, bacteria, litter and other contaminants to the stormwater system. 156 Stormwater management systems should preserve natural drainage systems, including the associated environmental flows. 157 Stormwater management systems should: (a) maximise the potential for stormwater harvesting and re-use, either on-site or as close as practicable to the source; (b) utilise, but not be limited to, one or more of the following harvesting methods: (i) the collection of roof water in tanks; (ii) the discharge to open space, landscaping or garden areas, including strips adjacent to car parks; (iii) the incorporation of detention and retention facilities; (iv) aquifer recharge.
