[200WILLIAM-EC SP67851] Envelope DA - Bayswater Car Rental - Suggestions

Thu Apr 6 11:23:33 AEST 2023

Good morning,

Please read the emails below.

I've been in touch with Natalie Richter re the 2nd DA for the development
between Forbes/Dowling Streets. I'm happy to go ahead (as her work was so
detailed the last time) and give my approval. However, we need a General
meeting I believe, for a majority approval for her work to go ahead.

Can we organize this asap. Thanks.

Craig

Thanks Craig,

The last submission was maximum $4,158.00 including GST (which was based on
14 hours work). 

I would estimate the work to get across the documents, amend the submission
would take around the same time. I may be able to organise an abridged type
version. To go through the documents will take around 5 hours. I can use the
previous submission and the Council 'issues letter' as a base for a response
to the revisions. 

So, if it took less time I could charge accordingly at the original hourly
rate which was on the terms document sent to Leanne at Strata last year. The
objective being to minimise costs for Strata whilst also accommodating the
time for this reviewed submission. Let me know how that sounds.

As before, I charge 50% to start and 50% at the completion.

We have until May however I will need a bit of lead time.

Thank you and regards. 

Natalie

William Street WOOLLOOMOOLOO NSW 2011 - 'Stage 1 concept/envelope proposal' 

Thank you Natalie. In my email to the others in our committee I would like
to state an amount we can expect to be charged by you for all the work.
Would you please let me know how much that would be and I will ask them what
their wishes are. Again, thank you for the details you've sent us after the
2nd DA was submitted by the developer.

Cheers,

Craig

Hi Craig hope you are well.

I spoke to Reinah.

I mentioned the following:

1.	I mentioned that your building does not appear to be included in the
view study (and that was requested). She agreed they had expressly asked.
She said she would look at that.

2.	I asked if we can be granted an official 2 additional weeks (on top
of the 28 days) to account for getting across the information and to allow
people's current leave times and public holidays. 

I have emailed her about it. She will speak to management and respond. She
asked if it was for everyone. I said she is likely to have others ask so may
be a good idea. She may even do an extended notification period due to the
contentious nature. I will let you know the outcome.

3.	I asked if she was able to indicate how if at all the revised
envelope aligned with Council's workshopping with the applicant.

She said, they had not given definitive advice however in a general sense
they had indicated to the applicant that the design should have regard for
the context and be driven by a view study to look at the sharing of views. 

4.	I indicated the view study was again not ideal. I mentioned the
colour coding (showing coloured blocks). She had said that was a suggestion
of the Council staff.. (showing the DCP envelope, LEP height and storeys
height). I said the green line of the envelope appears to demonstrate that
the icons within Harbour and city views would be taken out. As far as
properties actually addressed in the study who are also impacted - the green
proposed envelope does not appear to seek to share many of those icons. 

My view currently is that the view study does not address Tenacity
objectives nor back up why the Council should be considering a variation to
a strategic envelope. 

Possible suggestions for responding:

1.	It is very important that you and other interested residents read
the revision if they can and make their own personal submissions - if they
are comfortable to do so. If it is helpful, I can assist them. Can just be
dot points/or whatever detail people want to put in.

2.	I was thinking a good way to 'frame' responses could be around the
original issues letter raised by the Council (the RFI issues/assessment
letter that I obtained via GIPA). I could prepare a dot point summary of
that for use as a framework of sorts for resident submissions. 

Or, I Could also prepare an abridged submission referring to the new version
of the envelope re the issues letter provided by Council (as well as
highlighting some previous issues). An idea.

3.	We could make another detailed group/strata response. I would be
utilising/changing my original work as a base and following the Council RFI
matters as well (as above). There would be focus on the bulk and
scale/context issue and the view/solar/light impacts. 

I have already found a few reasons to object to the revised view assessment.
I would think that the budget for my submission would be similar to before
as I would need to review all the new documents and assess them (I budgeted
for around 14 hours last submission I think in terms of the time
allocation). 

I do understand if this is not an exercise or expense that is wanted to
pursue again. Entirely up to you and the Strata as we have said our piece
initially. Just depends how detailed you want it. 

We should certainly be saying that the documents do not address the Council
letter requesting that your building views be addressed.

4.	I have spent a bit of time chasing and liaising with owners re this
submission. Probably only 1 hour. 

Please let me know how you wish to proceed on this? Please feel free to call
if you have any questions or prefer to discuss.

I would need to get moving on the research quite soon. I will be having a
bit of down time late next week and the following week so would be wanting
to use time at the beginning of this coming week for this.

Thank you, Natalie
