Assignment 1: Clarifications
Announcement via Moodle on 03 June 2024
Dear Students,
“Thank you for your queries raised in the tutorials. We are writing to clarify the following:
«You are requested to select a Local Government Area (LGA) and write a report to
‘your client, as the project development manager, on what information/documents the
LGA requires to lodge an application for a development project. The site can be
hypothetical o actual, but in either case, you need to spell out the project, site
characteristics and assumptions which would help identify what supporting SEE
eports would be required.
«For example, the project comprises ‘25 apartments in metropolitan Sydney’ so SEPP
65 and Apartment Design Guide apply; the site is ‘adjacent to a main road” or ‘within
a heritage conservation area’ so an environmental Impact assessment report is
equired. The Sutherland Shire Council DA Guide posted on Moodie would be a
useful reference.
«The number of units sets the scale of the project. The project should comprise in the.
order of 25 residential apariments as per the
ief requirement.
«Assignment Guidance Notes and Course Resources are available on Moodle fo
eference. No previous assignments will be provided.
+ Anintroduction section would be useful for the report. It should describe the
purposes of this report and the project’site characteristics.
«Cover Page, Site Photo, Content Page and Reference Page are excluded from the
page count.
«Words in tables (i. additional information for reference purposes) are excluded from
the word count.
