Site analysis checklist

The site analysis is comprised of graphical and written information which should indicate the following
range of considerations, where appropriate, and address the likely impacts of the proposed development.
The level of assessment detail will be dependent on the nature, gpe and scale and potential amenity
impacts of lhe proposed development. The development application should demonstrate how the
development proposal has responded to the oppoftunities and constraints of the site. The site analysis is to
include details, as relevant, of the following:

Site and drawing description:

tr Location and clearly defined site boundaries, bearings,legaldescription and dimensions

tr North point

tr The scale and date of the plans and drawings

Site details:

tr Topographic elements including contours and levels (0.5m intervals)

tr Driveway and cross over locations

tr Service locations (water, sewer, electrical, communications)

tr Easements

tr Setback overlay

tr The geotechnical characteristics of the subsurface condition / soil type

tr Drainage and overland flow paths

tl Any acid sulfate soils, landfill or contamination affectation and, where affected, proposed
remediation strategy and statement from a recognised expert that the site can be remediated

Site climatic details:

tr The orientation of the site, solar path (summer, winter)

tr Direction of prevailing winds and weather patterns

tr ldentified significant heat load directions

tr ldentified significant shading influences (topography, fences, houses, trees)

Site context:

tl Understand the form and character of adjacent and opposite buildings in the streetscape and
adjacent sites, architectural character, front fencing and garden sgles

tr The location height and use of adjacent and opposite buildings

tr The location and distance to adjoining dwellings and their windows, doors, main living spaces,
external living areas, pools, solar panels, retaining walls and the like

¡ The location, height and materials of fences and/or walls built to the site boundary

n Any difference in levels between the site and adjacent and opposite dwellings in plan and
sections

v4
 tr Views to and from the site locally and regionally

tr The species, location, height and canopy dimensions of any existing vegetation on the site, or within
eight metres of the site, and identified as to be removed or retained

tr Any heritage item or conservation area applying to or nearby to the site

tr Any environmental attributes such as koala habitat, fauna corridors, bushfire hæards, fire source
features, flooding, wetlands, endangered species or the like applying to, or nearby, the site

tr Sources of noise nuisance such as flight paths, road noise or other noise pollution sources

tr Any key natural features of the site and its surrounds such as rock outcrops, cliffs, embankments,
foreshores or the like

tr Direction and distance to local facilities, local shops, schools, public transport, recreation, open space
and community opportunities for development within Parts B and C

Design response to site analysis in plan and section:

tr lndicative footprint of the proposal over base site analysis information

tr Demonstrate how internal living spaces relate to aspect and outdoor spaces

tr Demonstrated cross ventilation and natural sunlight access

tr Show the location of vehicular and pedestrian access points

tr Nomination of where the proposal may overshadow or overlook or be overshadowed or overlooked by

the adjoining dwellings their windows, doors, private open space, pools, solar panels, retaining walls
and the like

tr Nomination of the best location for landscaping, deep soil zones and outdoor living spaces

tr Clearly identify areas where the site analysis indicates an suitable alternative solution to the controls
