Introduction
I have been given the task to engaged on providing a report for a proposed planning
permit application at No 65-67 Railway Parade, Glen Waverley 3150 for a 10-storey
building
with
multi-level
of
classification
uses.
This
report
will
provide
recommendations following my assessment regarding the performance of the
development against the relevant legislations and Planning Scheme requirements.
Building classification, Rise in storeys, effective height and type of
construction required
The subject site is located 4 blocks away from Springvale Road towards the east and
4 blocks away from Kingsway to the west.
A rectangular shaped site lot, with a length of 11.6 metres front and rear site and 32.9
metres alongside lengths on eastern boundary and 33.3 metres on western boundary
with a total area of the site at 380m2. As shown in the plans provided that the proposed
building has an effective height of 153.70mm with an overall building height 44,000m
10-storey high rise.
Commercial constructions of any kind of building or structures for that purpose has a
few different type projects like restaurants, offices, general medical practitioners and
the list goes on but to be clear commercial buildings is for professional use purposes

and classification can be a “Class 5” but it can include other classes 6, 7, 8 or 9
depending on floor area with a design that complies. For the proposed building I have
classified the building as a Class 5 according to its uses with the 9th floor an office.
The floor levels on this proposed building you have an underground storage basement
with a ground level floor retail shop also level 1, 2, 3 and 4 all restaurants and level 7
and 8 massage business and 5, 6 and 9 Office’s with a floor level area of each
300.75m2. The proposed building construction type according to the table C1.1 of the
NCC VOL1 2019 falls under as a class A structure.

Assessment of Geographic Location e.g. information about climate zone, wind
class, earthquake zone etc
Victoria experiences a climate classified as temperate with no dry season and a
warm summer. The exception is an area covering much of the far southwest of the
State, excluding the exposed coast. This area experiences a climate classified as
temperate with a distinctly dry and warm summer. Climate zone for Melbourne falls
under zone 6 with a wind classification N1 to N6 region A and B according to the AS
4055 with no shield factor according to provided plans an RFI will be required for
further information on surroundings. The site is a Non cyclonic area and Snow but for
earthquake impact it is still required for all structural design to meet the standards of
section 3 of AS 1170.4 applies to all Australian regions.

Assessment in accordance Planning Scheme - Building Height, Setback,
Car park requirements, crossover etc - complies or not complies
As the proposed development is at a height of 44m or 10 storeys including a basement
the requirement to meet the provisions of Clause 55, Two or More Dwellings on a Lot
is not relevant. Assessment of the proposal has therefore been undertaken in
accordance with the requirements of Clause 58, Urban Context Report and Design
Response for Residential Development of Five or More Storeys of the Monash
Planning Scheme. This clause requires an “…urban context report
to be prepared before a residential development of four or more storeys is designed
and that the design responds to the existing urban context and preferred future
development of the area.” Decision guidelines (Clause 34.01‐8) The application is
subject to the following additional Decision Guidelines as detailed at Clause
34.01‐8 of the Commercial 1 Zone Scheme.
