7. Conclusion This report provides details of a comprehensive package of sustainable design features which will be integrated

into the design and specification of the proposed development in order to improve environmental outcomes

during occupation.

In terms of performance outcomes, the analysis presented in this report demonstrates that the proposed

development:

• Will attain a 4 star Green Star standard based on the Design & As Built v1.2 rating tool

• Will attain the Best Practice standard for urban stormwater quality

• Will achieve an average NatHERS energy rating of 6.5 stars

In addition, all apartments:

• Will have cooling loads of less than 21MJ/m2.

The performance outcomes set out above confirm that the proposed development meets the relevant

performance measures set out in Clauses 22.13 of the Monash Planning Scheme.

Accordingly, the sustainable design outcomes from the proposed development are consistent with the

objectives of the City of Monash’s Environmentally Sustainable Development and Water Sensitive Urban

GLAZING VALUES

The energy rating software accredited by the Australian Building Codes Board contains a relatively limited

library of window systems. When the glazing systems specified are not available in the software, the protocol

requires that the glazing type which most closely matches the specified glazing is selected for the purpose of

calculating the energy rating.

The table below sets out the glazing specified on the architectural drawings together with the glazing input for

the purposes of calculating the energy rating.

The whole of window U – Value must be equal or lower than the energy rating software value and the whole of

INDICATIVE SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY LAYOUT

High-efficiency solar PV modules with a total capacity of 16kWp per Tower will be installed at roof level as per

the preliminary layout indicated below.

Each PV module will be oriented northwards at 10-15° tilt and have at least 300Wp capacity (i.e. 20% more

efficient than traditional 250Wp 60-cell modules) – mounted on the roof with a minimum 600mm row spacing.

High-efficiency modules deliver more compact arrays and this dematerialisation results in inherently lower

embodied ecological impact per unit of generation than standard efficiency modules. The solar PV modules will

further be procured from a manufacturer with an above average rating in the SVTC Solar Scorecard.

Indicative solar photovoltaic array layout

The estimated total yield of this array will be 22MWh per annum equating to an annual carbon emissions

abatement of approximately 24 tonnes CO2-e per annum.



Appendix 5: Site Management Plan

The objective of this Site Management Plan is to minimise the risks and impacts of stormwater pollution on

nearby waterways during construction works.

The key pollutants at risk of entering the stormwater system during the construction phase include:

• Sediments such as soil, sand, gravel, mud and concrete washings;

• Oil, foam, scum, grease, and other chemicals; and

• Litter, stones, debris etc.

These pollutants arise from several factors such as dirt from construction vehicles, erodible stockpiles located

close to surface runoff flow paths, and surface runoff from disturbed areas during earthmoving and construction

works. It is therefore important to integrate measures that minimise the pollutant loads entering stormwater

system during construction.

The following stormwater management strategies will be implemented during the construction phase to mitigate

the impacts of the pollutants above on the stormwater system:

• A project specific Erosion and Sediment control plan will be prepared in accordance with the guidelines set out in:

o Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control (International Erosion Control Association Australasia, 2008); and

o Reducing Stormwater Pollution from Construction Sites (EPA Victoria, 2005).

• The Erosion and Sediment plan will form part of the Environmental Management Plan described in Section 6.1 of this report. This initiative will reduce the impacts of sediments on the stormwater system during construction works upon implementation.

• Installation of appropriate onsite erosion and sediment control measures. All installed control measures shall be regularly inspected & maintained to ensure their effectiveness. Such measures may include (but not limited to):

o Silt fences

o sediment traps

o hay bales

o geotextile fabrics

• Where possible, waste bins or skips with a lid or cover will be used to prevent litter from getting blown away and potentially entering stormwater drains.

Additionally, the following work practices shall be adopted to reduce stormwater pollution:

• Site induction to make personnel aware of stormwater management measures in place;

• Employ measures to reduce mud being carried off-site into the roadways such as installing a rumble grid/ gravel/ crushed-rock driveway (or equivalent measure) to provide clean access for delivery vehicles, removing mud from vehicle tyres with a shovel etc.;

• Safe handling and storage of chemicals, paints, oils and other elements that could wash off site to prevent them from entering stormwater drains; and

• Where practicable, stockpiles will be covered, located within the site’s fence and away from the lowest point of the site where surface runoff will drain to. This initiative will minimise erosion.

Accordingly, the measures presented above are considered appropriate for the proposed development at this stage of the project. The measures will reduce the pollutants entering stormwater system from the site during construction works thereby protecting waterways.

Furthermore, the initiatives above are consistent with the Application Requirements set out in the WSUD Policy

of the Monash Planning Scheme.
