Sustainability Management Plan 411-421 Smith Street, Fitzroy

Ref: 2064V2.doc of 28


1. Introduction This Sustainability Management Plan has been prepared to assist the design, construction and operation of the proposed residential mixed use development at 411-421 Smith Street, Fitzroy to achieve a range of sustainable development objectives which have the potential to achieve 'Best Practice' in accordance with a benchmark of 4 Stars in the Green Star Design & As Built v1.2 rating tool.

MacCormack Associates Consultants has assessed the proposed development and provided input to the design team and this SMP captures initiatives necessary to ensure that the development meets the sustainability requirements of the City of Yarra, in particular Clauses 22.16 Stormwater Management and 22.17 Environmentally Sustainable Design.

1.1 City of Yarra Requirements

City of Yarra requires large projects within their municipality, to include as part of the town planning application, a Sustainability Management Plan (SMP). The SMP will need to set out how this project will meet sustainability targets in the areas of energy reduction, water use reduction and water sensitive urban design, indoor environment quality, materials selection, transportation, waste management, urban ecology and bicycle storage by achieving a preliminary design benchmark for 4 Star rating under the current version of Green Star Design and As-built rating tool.

In addition the project will be required to demonstrate the minimum performance objectives of Clause 58 of the planning scheme, of which particular emphasis is placed on energy efficiency and internal amenity of apartments and the overall stormwater management of the development.

1.2 ESD Assessment Tools

There are a number of calculators and modelling programs available in Victoria to assess proposed developments against benchmarks set by the Victorian government, local councils and the Building Code of Australia. Different tools are used to assess different aspects of the development including:

• Green Building Council of Australia's (GBCA) Green Star Design and As-Built v1.2 tool, which covers the overall sustainability of the development;

• Stormwater Treatment Objective — Relative Measure (STORM) calculator, which addresses stormwater quality considerations for the entire development; and

• FirstRate5, which covers the thermal efficiency of the building envelope.

All tools have minimum compliance requirements. STORM and FirstRate which have requirements that are mandatory for Victoria. Green Star is typically used to demonstrate how a level of compliance has been achieved to meet the typical planning requirements set by the City of Melbourne.

1.2.1 Green Star Design and As Built v.1.2 Benchmark

The Green Star Design & As-built tool was created by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) to help assess and benchmark new developments against a thorough set of criteria, specifically designed to reward best practice and innovative sustainable design approaches. The tool includes nine (9) different elements which cover all areas of building design and some ongoing operation. These are:

Management Transport Land Use and Ecology

Indoor Environment Quality Water Emissions Energy Materials Innovation



Ref: 2064V2.doc of 2B


The levels of achievement in this tool are defined as: 4 star Green Star being "Best Practice", 5 star being "Australian Excellence", and 6 star being "World Leader". This project is aiming to achieve a "potential 4 star Green Star rating". The Smith Street development is not presently pursuing a certified rating through the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), but regardless, practices and initiatives identified within this report will be monitored and followed through to construction to ensure the building is not only designed to the "Best Practice" standard but will also be constructed that way. The results of the Green Star preliminary assessment can be found in Appendix 1 of this report.

1.2.2 FirstRate 5

The energy efficiency of the development's thermal envelope has been assessed using FirstRate 5, which is an energy modelling software program to rate dwellings on a 10-Star scale. The tool uses the AccuRate engine (as a nationally recognised energy benchmarking) to rate dwellings based on climate zone, materials used in a structure, positioning, orientation and building sealing. Higher scores are achieved primarily through better material selection, improvements in glazing, and insulation. It is noted that the 2016 BCA (Building Code of Australia) will apply to this development. A representative sample has been modelled to predict the average heating and cooling energy use of the development. The results of the FirstRate assessments can be found in Appendix 1 of this report.

1.2.3 Melbourne Water STORM Tool

Melbourne Water has developed the Stormwater Treatment Objective — Relative Measure (STORM) Calculator to simplify the analysis of stormwater treatment methods. This calculator is designed for the general public to be able to assess simple Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) measures on their property and has been developed specifically for small residential and industrial developments. The STORM Calculator displays the amount of treatment that is required to meet best practice targets, using WSUD treatment measures. The tool is capable of calculating the performance of a range of commonly implemented treatment measures including, rainwater tanks, ponds, wetlands. rain gardens, infiltration systems, buffers and swales'. The result of the STORM assessment is included as Appendix 3.

I The STORM tool provides only the most basic of options for a typical detached urban development. For more information visit http://library.melbournewater.com.au/content/wsud/ustng STORM.pdt

3. Implementation of Initiatives The proposed development will have the preliminary design potential to meet the City of Yarra's 'Best Practice' requirements through a number of initiatives such as the superior performance of the building's thermal envelope, reductions in greenhouse gas emissions through the use of efficient air conditioners and lighting, as well as reduced environmental impact during the construction stage through the specification of environmentally preferred materials and a construction team that works in accordance with a construction EMP that is tailored to the site and the project.

The initiatives that have been included within this ESD statement are all initiatives that have a proven track record to serve their individual purpose and can be easily maintained with any failures obvious to the occupants of the development. This helps to ensure the ongoing sustainability of the development as the systems installed in the beginning are maintained for purpose throughout the life of the dwellings.

With appropriate implementation, management, monitoring and maintenance the initiatives outlined within this ESD statement will serve to provide the residents with lower running costs, as well as benefit the environment.

Appendix 2 - FirstRate 5 Assessment The FirstRate energy rating program is the primary modelling method used in Victoria to indicate the required energy for heating and cooling based on the building's thermal envelope. It does not take into account any heating or cooling systems installed; it only assesses walls, roof and floor materials; levels of insulation, building orientation, glazing and the area layout. The proposed development at 411-421 Smith Street, Fitzroy is located in Climate Zone 21 (Melbourne) and is required by the Building Code of Australia (BCA) to achieve an average rating of 6 Stars (114MJ/m2), with no dwelling rating lower than 5 stars. In addition an average score of 6.5 stars is required meet the minimum performance requirements of the Green Star tool. Additionally, Clause 58.03-1 Energy Efficiency requires that apartments have a cooling load of below 30MJ/m2 in this climate zone.

Appendix 3 — STORM Assessment & WSUD Report

Objectives

Part of this SMP includes addressing how the proposed development responds to the principles and requirements of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD). The main objectives for WSUD aim to:

• Promote the use of water sensitive urban design, including stormwater re-use. • Mitigate the detrimental effect of development on downstream waterways, by the application

of best practice stormwater management through water sensitive urban design for new development.

• Minimise peak stormwater flows and stormwater pollutants to improve the health of water bodies, including creeks, rivers and bays.

• Reintegrate urban water into the landscape.

To achieve these objectives, new developments must comply with the best practice performance targets for suspended solids, total phosphorous and total nitrogen, as set out in the Urban Stormwater Best Practice Environmental Management Guidelines, Victoria Stormwater Committee 1999. Currently, these water quality performance targets require:

• Suspended Solids - 80% retention of typical urban annual load. • Total Nitrogen - 45% retention of typical urban annual load. • Total Phosphorus - 45% retention of typical urban annual load. • Litter - 70% reduction of typical urban annual load.

New developments must also incorporate treatment measures that improve the quality of water and reduce flow of water discharged into waterways (such as collection and reuse of rainwater/stormwater on site), and encourage the use of measures to prevent litter being carried off-site in stormwater flows. The proposed development has addressed these requirements by identifying the impervious surfaces within the site and implementing treatments to mitigate the impacts of stormwater leaving the site. To assess these initiatives, the STORM tool — which is an industry accepted tool — was used to score these initiatives.

The above requirements align with the Yarra City Council planning policy 22.16 Stormwater Management.

Site Characteristics

For the purposes of the stormwater assessment, the building has been delineated into basic surface types listed below:

• Site area of 1,820m2; • Minimum of 1,100m2 of roof/terrace area comprised of the roof top area and terraces

below will be designed to divert rainwater runoff to rainwater tank(s) on site; • 720m2 of the Remaining site is untreated; • A rainwater tank for the development, with a total effective capacity of 33,000L. The

stored rainwater will be connected to all commercial tenancy toilets on lower levels as a minimum. The stored rainwater will also be used for any irrigation and bin wash-down.





Stormwater Management Initiatives

Stormwater treatment initiatives will need to be implemented within the development as a means of achieving best practice performance objectives set by the City of Yarra. The following section presents the impervious surfaces that have been identified for treatment, and the required treatment. The initiatives to manage stormwater flows for the building area will underpin the overall performance of the building and its ability to meet stormwater management objectives.

Table 2: List of impervious areas and their stormwater treatment measures.

Impervious Surface Topographic Area m2

Required Treatment

e 1,100m2 Runoff to be diverted to rainwater tank(s) with an

effective storage capacity of 33,000L. The stored rainwater will be connected to all toilets serving the commercial tenancies (as a minimum). The stored rainwater will also be used for any irrigation and bin wash-down. The harvested rainwater will be diverted through a filtration system prior to being stored in the tank(s) given some of the capture area is trafficable.

720m2 Runoff is discharged directly into stormwater drainage system.

Results:

The impervious surfaces and recommended treatments have been applied to the STORM tool and as a result, the proposed development has achieved a score of 103%. With the proposed stormwater treatment measures incorporated into the development at 411-421 Smith Street, Fitzroy; the design will meet the minimum performance standards required by the City of Yarra.

Stormwater Management Initiatives

Treatment - Various

Stormwater management in the construction stage will include measures which will be put in place to minimise the likelihood of contaminating stormwater discharge from the site as well as reduce the velocity of the flows generated from the building as it is being constructed. This will mean ensuring buffer strips are in place, and the site will be kept clean from any loose rubbish. More information is available from "Keeping Our Stormwater Clean — A Builder's Guide" by Melbourne Water2. The diagram below is an illustration of the various objectives which assist in minimising the impacts of stormwater runoff typical during the construction phase. Typical pollutants that are generated from a construction site during a rainfall event include:

• Dust • Silt • Mud • Gravel • Stockpiled materials • Spills/oils • Debris/litter

To reduce the impacts and minimise the generation of these pollutants the following measures are proposed. The symbols embedded within each image are typically used for Construction Environmental Management Plans.

Gravel Sausage filters — to be placed at the entrance of pits/side stormwater inlets. These permeable sacks will filter the suspended soils and sediments and any other litter carried by the stormwater to prevent the pollutants entering the system.

Silt Fences Under Grates - Silt fence material may be placed under the grate of surface-entry inlets to prevent sediment from entering the stormwater system

Temporary Rumble Grids — these are designed to open the tread on tires and vibrate mud and dirt off the vehicle (in particular the chassis). This will heavily minimise the amount of soil/dirt deposited on local streets where it can be washed (by rainfall or other means) into the stormwater drains.
