(b) Capacity of building integrated solar photovoltaic system.
Implementation of Environmentally Sustainable Design
(a) A Loading Management Plan (LMP) specifying how the access/egress of loading vehicles is managed. Ideally, the LMP should specify that loading/waste collection should not be undertaken between 7-9am, 4-7pm Mon-Fri, to minimise the likelihood of conflict with cars entering/leaving the car park. A Dock Manager/other should also ideally be employed, responsible for controlling the operation of the loading/waste area, who would assist in addressing any conflicts.
(b) Full swept path diagrams for the waste collection vehicle to the revised collection location.
Waste storage and collection arrangements must not be altered without prior consent of the Melbourne City Council - Engineering Services.
Existing street lighting not altered without approval
(a) Describe the location in the context of alternative modes of transport and objectives for the GTP.
(b) Outline GTP measures for the building including:
Once approved the GTP will form part of the planning permit or any on-going management plan for the site to ensure the GTP continues to be implemented by the owners/management of the development site to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority.
When approved, this report will be endorsed to form part of the Permit. Where the endorsed Road Safety Audit proposes operational restrictions more stringent than those specified in the conditions contained on this permit, the audit's stricter restriction applies and must be adhered to.
(a) The development is not started within two years of the date of this permit.
(b) The development is not completed within four years of the date of this permit.
The Responsible Authority may extend the permit if a request is made in writing before the permit expires, or within six months afterwards. The Responsible Authority may extend the time for completion of the permit if a request is made in writing within 12 months after the permit expires and the development started lawfully before the permit expired.
