Hassell Pty Ltd v Warringah Shire Council

7.3.2 Tetratheca Glandulosa 86. The existence of Tetratheca Glandulosa on the site was acknowledged in the previous hearing and, after considering the evidence, it was accepted that its location by survey allowed the subdivision of the lots to be designed to maximise the retention of Tetratheca Glandulosa. The retention of 80-90% of the population was considered acceptable when taken in the overall context of the incidence of the species elsewhere.

87. Mr Robertson's evidence essentially provides a critique of the applicant's new expert botanist, Mr James Warren's, findings on this issue. He sees serious inconsistencies with the " 8 part test " and other areas of his statement. Based on this, he describes Mr Warren's findings as " unconvincing " and as contradicting earlier information about the species.

88. Specifically, Mr Robertson takes issue with Warren's comments that any species found on lot 26 can be transplanted and with his ability to be able to accurately identify Tetratheca Glandulosa.

89. Mr Warren initially misidentified Tetratheca Glandulosa on lot 26, but, in his oral evidence, he explained the difficulty in distinguishing Tetratheca Glandulosa from the more common species. His final conclusions that no Tetratheca Glandulosa existed on the subject sites were based on advice from the National Herbarium of NSW after providing samples of those species over which he had some doubt.

90. As there was no evidence to refute the conclusions of Mr Warren that no Tetratheca Glandulosa existed on lot 26, there can be no impact on this species from this development.

7.4 Whether the site is " Duffys Forest Vegetation Community "? 91. The NSW Scientific Committee, established by the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (" TSC Act "), recently listed the Duffys Forest Vegetation Community as an endangered ecological community in Part 3 of Schedule 1 of the TSC Act. This listing post dates the previous decision of the court, although the Duffys Forest Vegetation Community was a recognised vegetation community at the time of the previous hearing.

The Final Determination of the NSW Scientific Committee contains a range of plant species potentially characterising the Duffys Forest Vegetation Community as well as distinguishable soil types and soil landscapes.

It was common ground that the area at issue was in the general location of the area previously set aside at the north-east corner of the site for the protection of the Tetratheca Glandulosa.

Mr Robertson refers to the area as " transitional Duffys Forest ". This area was identified on a map prepared by Mr Robertson and includes not only the area previously set aside for the protection of the Tetratheca Glandulosa (lots 30 and 31) but two proposed dwelling sites on lot 26.

Mr Robertson concludes that there is very strong evidence to suggest that the vegetation community in lots 30, 31 and 26 is " transitional Duffys Forest" . He notes that fifty one (86.4%) of the species identified in the Final Determination have been recorded on lots 30, 31 and 26, and include many of the dominant species of the community.

On the issue of soils, the applicant relied upon the evidence of Dr Pamela Hazelton, a soil scientist. She concluded that the soil characteristics and landscape are those of the Somersby Soil Landscape, and that the soil investigated was a common laterite. This has occurred as an associated landscape within the Lambert Soil Landscape.

The soil type is the same as specified in the Somersby Soil Landscape which matches the description of the soil type, ie lateritic (ironstone) derived soil, described in the Final Determination for the Duffy Forest Vegetation Community.

Evidence on behalf of the applicant was provided by Mr Warren. In terms of plant species, his conclusion is that the site does not contain Duffys Forest vegetation as determined by the NSW Scientific Committee. In his oral evidence he accepted that the site was close to satisfying the criteria in the Final Determination, but the lack of Grevillia Caleyi was sufficient, in his view, to reject its classification as Duffys Forest Vegetation Community on the basis of plant species.

Mr Warren also relied on a report by Mr Michael Doherty of CSIRO Wildlife & Ecology, dated November 1998, and entitled " Statement of Environmental Effects for Development of part Crown Land Reserve and Ardel land at Allambie Heights, in relation to the history of Duffys Forest Vegetation Community as an Endangered Ecological Community ".

Despite having apparent floristic affinities with the Duffys Forest vegetation community, the definition provided by the Scientific Committee does not cover the combination of vegetation, soil type and topographic position found in the area through which the Crown Road passes or on the Ardel land. (Exhibit H7, App 7, p2). 101. On the question of soil, Mr Morse disagreed with Dr Hazelton's classification. He prepared a soil survey of the subject site in November 1995 ( Exhibit H7 , App 3) and found that the soils on the subject site are formed on the Lambert Soil Landscape and not Somersby or Blacktown landscapes identified in the Final Determination.

Mr Doherty, while accepting that the available mapping is not conclusive, considers that the site can be best described as transitional between Lucas Heights and Lambert soil landscapes, but not the Somersby or Blacktown soil landscapes. As with the Somersby and Blacktown soil landscapes, iron nodules also exist in soils of the Lucas Heights soil landscape.

Mr Doherty also states that, at the very least, the area above the subject site is shale of arguable origin. That area, while shale influenced, is downslope of the possible occurrence of Duffys Forest Vegetation Community, even if it does occur on parts of the Lucas Heights soil landscape.

While accepting the coarse scale of the mapping, the location of the subject site is some 500 metres off the main ridgeline and is not indicative of the flat ridgetop environment upon which the Duffys Forest vegetation is found.

It was generally agreed that the determination of whether the land is classified as Duffys Forest Vegetation Community involves three tests, these being the species composition, the soil type, and the soil landscape.

On the species composition, cl 3 of the Final Determination lists 59 species which characterise the Duffys Forest Vegetation Community. As noted above, and generally agreed, around 86% of these species have been recorded in lots 30, 31 and 26.

Clause 4 of the Final Determination states that " the total species list of the community is considerably larger than that in 3 (above) with many species present in only one or two sites or in very small quantity ".

Clause 6 of the Final Determination states that " the endangered shrub Grevillia Caleyi is restricted to Duffys Forest Vegetation Community though it is not necessarily present at all locations of the community ".

Importantly, Mr Robertson's conclusions are based on lots 30, 31 and 26. However, lots 30 and 31are proposed to be retained in their natural state because of the need to preserve the existing examples of Tetratheca Glandulosa.

In my view, the evidence clearly shows a link between the species on the site and those specified in the Final Determination.

While the Grevillia Caleyi was not found on the site, its absence does not guarantee that the vegetation community could not be classified as Duffys Forest. On the specific issue of plant species, the site could not be excluded from being a potential Duffys Forest Vegetation Community.

On the matter of soils, I prefer the evidence of Mr Morse, principally because of the more thorough investigation carried out for his soil analysis. In coming to this conclusion, I acknowledge that the time spent on the site (some 30 minutes on lots 31 and 30, but none on lot 26) by Dr Hazelton, was not of her choice, and less than ideal for a thorough assessment.

While Dr Hazelton found iron nodules on the site, Mr Doherty also stated that iron nodules also exist in the soils of the Lucas Heights soil landscape so not too much reliance can be placed on the existence of iron nodules on the site.

Notwithstanding that the site has been mapped on the Sydney 1:100,000 sheet as Lambert Soil Landscape, I would agree that little can be drawn from this soil landscape mapping because of the scale of the mapping and the small area under investigation. Clearly, preference should be given to a more site specific analysis.

Dealing with the soil landscape the Final Determination sets out he environment upon which the Duffys Forest Vegetation Community occurs.

It is described as " lateritic (ironstone) and deeply weathered shale derived soils on the ridgetops in the Duffys Forest/Ingleside/Belrose area well within Warringah, Pittwater and Ku-ring-gai Council areas " (par 1) and " lateritic soils on the ridgetops including part of the Somersby and Blacktown Soil Landscapes in the Duffys Forest/Terry Hills/Ingleside/Belrose areas. The soil can be distinguished from the surrounding sandstone soils by colour and the usual presence of ironstone modules " (par 5).

In Mr Morse's Soil Survey, he draws a strong distinction between the subject site and the lot to its north. The distinction between ridgetop land and land located off the ridgetops is clearly shown in his report.

The comments of Mr Doherty, in my view, provide an accurate description of the site in topographic terms. He states that if any areas in Allambie Heights are likely to show affinities with the Duffys Forest vegetation type, it will be those areas immediately to the north of the Warringah Aquatic Centre, and areas adjacent to the Wakehurst Parkway in this vicinity, closer to the main ridgeline and away from creeklines.

It is not acceptable for there to be a reasonably strong link with the designated plant species, without establishing an equally strong relationship with soil types and soil landscapes. Based on the evidence, I am not convinced that this relationship exists to the point where it could reasonably be established that the site contains the Duffys Forest Vegetation Community.

Overall, I must conclude that the subject site does not contain the Duffys Forest Vegetation Community, based on the specific matters raised in the Final Determination.

On this basis, s 5A of the EP&A Act has no part to play.

7.5 Whether the design and location of the proposed buildings is acceptable? 122. Evidence for the respondent was provided by Mr Paul Mitchell, a consultant town planner. His evidence relied, to a large extent, on an assessment based on the draft WLEP, which he described as a reflection of the Council's current intentions for the site and locality. In his opinion, determining weight should be given to the draft WLEP over DCP 19.

123. On this issue, the applicant's consultant town planner, Mr Stuart Harding, disagreed with Mr Mitchell, citing that DCP 19 is still the current planning control for the site. In any event, Mr Harding concludes that the proposal is not inconsistent with the relevant parts of draft WLEP.

124. I have already determined for reasons given earlier in this judgment that the principal planning controls for this proposal are WLEP 1985 and DCP 19, and the court's assessment of the proposal should reflect the controls in those documents.

125. The specific issues raised by the respondent are: (a) the setbacks of the garages to the street, (b) the 10m setback to the creekline, (c) the open space provision, and (d) the contribution to sustainable development.
126. On the issue of setbacks, Mr Mitchell relied on the draft WLEP Locality Statement for Aquatic Drive to conclude that a 10m setback should be provided. He does, however, acknowledge that the 10m setback could have been intended to apply to development on Aquatic Drive itself, rather than development on an internal road within the site. This was in fact confirmed through the Council's list of amendments to draft WLEP supplied to DUAP dated 9 July 1999 ( Exhibit W34 ). In any event, Mr Mitchell describes the setbacks as insufficient.

Mr Harding, in his oral evidence accepted that the garages would be visible when looking down the street. However, he would not consider that the garages proximate to the street are dominant or have any adverse urban design impact.

On this matter, I accept the evidence of Mr Harding.

With the development of higher density housing must come compromises in certain areas, including setbacks. The intention of DCP 19 is clear and the degree of higher density development was considered appropriate when considered in the previous hearing. In fact, at that time the Council argued that insufficient higher density housing was to be provided with the development of the total site.

With the provision of landscaping, I accept that the reduced setbacks are acceptable.

The setback to the creek was also seen as an issue. However, the relationship between the lots and the creek was dealt with in the previous hearing and considered to be appropriate.

Mr Mitchell also took issue with the provision of open space on each of the proposed lots. Based on his calculations, there is total non-compliance with the 50% provision required under draft WLEP. He, however, accepts that the private open space provision is complied with in terms of DCP 19. For this reason, I find the private open space provision acceptable.

Mr Mitchell addresses the question of Ecologically Sustainable Development (" ESD ") in some detail in his report. His conclusions are that the proposal will have a negative effect on a significant number of sustainability indicators, particularly those relating to the retention of green spaces and biodiversity, and, to some degree, transportation. He accepts that other indicators, such as energy, and air quality and water, materials and water, may be able to be imposed through appropriate conditions.

Mr Mitchell's comments, while being valid, must be considered in the context of the particular site. While there may be a very valid argument that the site should be retained in its natural state, the fact remains that it has been zoned for residential purposes. It is in this light that it must be considered.

The impact on flora and fauna has been extremely thoroughly researched and was subjected to much discussion in the two hearings before this court, as has the potential impact on Manly Dam. Its location close to public transport is also a matter essentially decided when the land was rezoned in 1992.

I also note that despite Mr Mitchell's concerns over the lack of consideration given to the ecological sustainability of the development, those matters he considers could be adequately addressed through specific conditions, have not been included in the draft conditions.

I have determined that all three appeals should be upheld, principally on the basis that the majority of issues raised by the Council were addressed in the previous hearing, and because the developments involved seem to the court to comply with the objectives of WLEP 1985 and DCP 19.

Where new matters, such as the Draft WLEP, the Stormwater Management Plan, and the inclusion of the Duffys Forest Vegetation community into Schedule 1 of the TCS Act, were raised, the evidence suggested that these matters were either adequately addressed in the previous hearing, or could not justify a refusal of the applications.

The conclusion in the previous hearing stated that the applicant had meaningfully addressed the constraints that have an impact on the site, and a similar comment could be made for the subject applications.

The parties successfully negotiated the appropriate conditions to impose on each of the applications and the court is content to adopt these in the approvals.

The formal orders of the court are: 1. Appeal No.10739 of 1999 is upheld, and the Applicant's development application seeking approval for the subdivision of part of lot 7 and lot 17 into five lots, and the erection of a dwelling on each lot, is determined by the grant of consent subject to the conditions in Annexure " A ". 2. Appeal No.10740 of 1999 is upheld, and the Applicant's development application seeking approval for the subdivision of lot 23 and lot 26 into seven lots and the erection of a dwelling on each lot, is determined by the grant of consent subject to the conditions in Annexure " B ". 3. Appeal No.10741 of 1999 is upheld, and the Applicant's development application seeking approval for the subdivision of part of lot 7 into five lots, and the erection of a dwelling on each lot, is determined by the grant of consent subject to the conditions in Annexure " C ". 4. All the exhibits may be returned except Exhibits W5-W7 .
