• Development applications subject to the Central Ranges Gas Pipeline development controls will not be fast tracked.

• A vegetated screening buffer of at least 10 metres wide is to be established for the length of Oxley Highway on the western boundary of the site, as per the General Landscaping Arrangement and the Oxley Highway Landscape Buffer cross section plan.
• A landscaping plan that details the species selected, maturity at planting, location and ultimate height is required. Landscaping shall comprise only low maintenance, drought and frost tolerant species.
• Lots with rear frontage to Oxley Highway between the Murron Creek Corridor and Marathon Street are to include a landscaping buffer of 5 metres, maintaining any existing trees and native shrubs. A Restriction to User will be required on all private lots.
• The front 5m of any primary and secondary setback must be landscaped.
• A reduced landscaped setback, to a minimum of 3 metres, is permitted where car parking is provided immediately behind the landscaped area (not permitted on the Ring Road or Goddard Lane sites).
• Landscaping of sites fronting Goddard Lane and the Ring Road is a key outcome, aimed at encouraging a high level presentation along these key roadways. Development Consents for Ring Road or Goddard Lane fronting sites will include provision for a maintenance bond to ensure that agreed landscaping is established and maintained for a period of two years from issue of an Occupation Certificate. Bonds will be based on 30% of the agreed value of the established landscaping.
• The developer responsible for subdivision resulting in lots fronting Goddard Lane and the Ring Road will be required to lodge with Council sufficient funds to permit the planting of one street tree per lot, or two street trees in the case of corner lots, but in any case with a spacing of no more than 50m along the respective street frontage.
• Street trees will be tube stock, or bare root stock in the case of deciduous trees.

NB: The value of the funds shall be calculated based on the cost per street tree as nominated in Council’s Annual Fees and Charges document. The funds will be utilised by Council to purchase and plant street trees when the subdivision is 75% occupied or at the end of two years, whichever occurs first. The theme of trees and shrubs to be planted shall be identified in the landscape plan and approved by Council based on criteria including suitability to site conditions, compatibility with existing vegetation and planting themes for the locality.

General Landscaping Arrangement

• The internal road layout will connect with the 'ring road' road to accommodate the varied development on the site. An indicative internal road layout is shown on the TGGP Precinct Plan.

• The road layout shall be designed in accordance with the Tamworth Global Gateway Precinct Design Criteria Report and The TRC Engineering Minimum Standards.
• The road reserve shall be designed at an appropriate width to allow for future recycled water connections.
• Subdivisions must incorporate an alternative movement network consisting of cycleways and shared pathways shall be developed with the objective of facilitating non-motorised movement within and beyond the estate.
• Cross sections of each road reserve in shown below.
• Cycle ways shall be designed in accordance with the Cycleway Concept.

Typical Road Cross Sections

Cycleway Concept (Red Line)

• Development application plans for lots fronting Goddard Lane are to incorporate road widening of 5 metres on the eastern side for the length of Goddard lane.
• The principal access points to the TGGP are from the Country Road five-way roundabout and from Goddard Lane. A major 'ring road' is to connect these points of access as per the TGGP Precinct Plan.
• Direct lot access from Oxley Highway, Marathon Street and Goonan Street will not be permitted.
• Proposals that include an area of unsealed vehicle manoeuvring areas must install a mechanism (such as shaker plates or a wash down area) to ensure no transfer of dirt from the site onto the road reserve will occur.

• Windows, doors and other wall openings shall be arranged to minimise noise impacts where the development is located adjoining or adjacent to existing residential areas.
• External plant (generators, air conditioning plant etc.) shall be enclosed to minimise noise nuisance where the development is located adjacent to existing residential areas.
• Details, including the proposed location of external plant shall be submitted with the development application.

• Development applications that are located within the flight path or likely to adversely affect aircrafts or the airport facility must be referred to the owner/operator of the Tamworth Regional Airport.
• Factors affecting the operation of the Airport must be considered including light glare, plumes, bird attractants.
• Development applications that must be referred to the Airport will not be fast tracked.
• A condition will be imposed on any development consent to require that notification be provided to the Airport Manager a minimum of 21 days before the operation of a crane for building work.
• The Tamworth Regional Local Environmental Plan 2010 contains controls relating to the construction of buildings within the vicinity of the Tamworth Airport, which may impact on the height and construction standards.

• Indigenous heritage items have been identified as being located within the TGGP Precinct. Development Applications involving subdivision of land will be required to undertake an archaeological assessment of the proposed development site.
• Consultation with the Tamworth Local Aboriginal Lands Council shall be undertaken prior to any subdivision approval.
• Appropriate management of any artefacts / sites located will be required.

• All lots within the Precinct are to be serviced by reticulated water and sewer in accordance with the Water/Sewer Authority's Tamworth Water Supply Servicing Strategy and Tamworth Sewer Strategy.
• Wherever practicable rainwater storage shall be integrated into downslope landscaping to encourage water sensitive design practices and sustainability of the landscaping and buffers onsite.
• Voluntary on-site retention and re-use will be supported, but shall not be taken into account when designing the estate-wide collection and conveyance systems.
• All stormwater flows generated as a result of development should be designed to minimise reliance on reticulated water.
• The stormwater design philosophy for this estate has been based on collection and conveyance of unattenuated stormwater runoff from individual lots within the road and drainage corridors. As such, no detention or retention is assumed required in the lot provided all stormwater is directed into the road reserves and drainage reserve as appropriate
• Servicing designs shall make allowance for reticulated gas and non-potable water throughout the estate as nominated and in consultation with Council. This includes the provision of strategic pre-laid crossings and / or ducts under roadways and driveways.

• PFAS contamination is known to have occurred in connection with the historical operation of the Tamworth Regional Airport. Studies show very minor levels of PFAS in the development area. (Refer to Geologix Detailed Site Assessment Report, December 2017)
• Subdivision and building proposals are to assess PFAS implications for the proposed development sites. In particular, the site of the 1995 Tamair plane crash, will require testing and remediation if developed as open ground in accordance with the Detailed Assessment Report.
