3. No. Design and Siting approval was granted for Stage 4 of the

development on 19 October 1994 subject to conditions. However the

application does not delete open access to public parkland and in no way

gives additional parkland to the lessee.

4. Not applicable.

5. See answer to 2(b) above.

6. Yes, the lessee has encroached, by excavation, onto public parkland.

This occurred to enable construction work to proceed. The lessee has

undertaken however to rectify this encroachment during the period of the

"extension of time".

7. A lease variation and Design and Siting approvals have only been given

to the lessee after close consideration and with a view to seeing the total

development completed.

8. The original proposal for the site has altered several times. This is

particularly common for large developments. The plans recently

submitted provide for 85 self care units, which has not changed from the

original proposal. However there is a reduction in the gross floor area of

the building proposed to be used as an aged persons home. Therefore

there is a reduction in the density rather than an increase.

9. No. In the original Policy Plan the outdoor recreation areas were listed as

a possible use. There is no mandatory requirements for the provision of

outdoor recreation areas within the site.

10. Certain areas around the Deakin Anticline area are required to be fenced

off during construction periods. Access to the Anticline is still open to the

public from several points and will improve once the total development

has been completed. The lessee of "The Grange" is responsible for the

landscaping around the curtilage of the Anticline in accordance with an

approved landscape plan.

11. The plans granted Design and Siting approval for two storey buildings

along De Chair Street show a minimum setback of 4 metres. Building

Control has been asked to assess if the lessee has not complied with

these setbacks.

12. Most major developments involve the location of site sheds on adjacent

land. Any such sheds will be removed when the development is

complete.

13. No. Application No. 942961 does not meet all of the Performance

Measures contained in the Territory Plan. However it was considered to

satisfy the relevant objectives and the Performance Criteria and was

therefore released for public comment.
