1. INTRODUCTION

This Statement of Environmental Effects has been prepared for the change of use to a hair salon and use of associated signage in accordance with the Ryde Council Development Application Guide to be assessed under section 4.15 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979. The proposed use is based on all relevant local and state planning instruments. The subject site is located within the B4 Mixed Use zone zone under the provisions of the Ryde Local Environmental Plan 2014 (RLEP 2014). The proposed use and associated signage is permitted within the zone, subject to development consent and there are no major affectations applicable to the subject site. Furthermore, the application has been based on all relevant local planning instruments, state planning instruments and local development controls and guidelines. The Development Application is supported by this Statement of Environmental Effects and is to be assessed in conjunction with the following plans/documentation: • Architectural Plans prepared by Archizone, Project No. 2021_032, Drawing Nos: 000, 001, 002,

003, 004 dated 08.05.21; • Waste Management Plan prepared by Karizma Hair

STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICY NO. 55 – REMEDIATION OF LAND

State Environmental Planning Policy No. 55 – Remediation of Land requires that consent must not be granted to the carrying out of any development on land unless Council has considered whether the land is contaminated or requires remediation for the proposed use. The site is for a restaurant within an existing building that has been previously assessed for contamination. As such, a further assessment under this Policy is not required.

STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICY NO. 64 – ADVERTISING AND SIGNAGE

This SEPP aims to improve the amenity of urban and natural settings by managing the impact of outdoor advertising. The policy responds to growing concerns from the community, the advertising industry and local government that existing controls and guidelines were not effective. SEPP No. 64 offers the comprehensive provisions and consistent approach needed. In accordance with Part 3, Clause 9, the proposed signage is defined as ‘business identification signs’ and in accordance with the SEPP, consideration of the following design considerations: Character of the Area Is the proposal compatible with the existing or desired future character of the area or locality in which it is proposed to be located? The premise is located within a B4 – Mixed Use zone with many adjoining businesses displaying similar signage and therefore the proposed signage is considered to be compatible with the existing, and desired future character of the locality. Is the proposal consistent with a particular theme for outdoor advertising in the area or locality? Many businesses along Victoria Road display similar signage to what is proposed being awning facias and illuminated under awning signage as well as window signs. The proposed signage is therefore considered to be consistent with the theme of signage within the locality (see Figure 5 below). The proposed signage is unobtrusive and reflects the purpose of the zone.


Figure 5. Theme of Signage within the Locality (Google Maps, 2021) Special areas Does the proposal detract from the amenity or visual quality of any environmentally sensitive areas, heritage areas, natural or other conservation areas, open space areas, waterways, rural landscapes, or residential areas? The site is not located within the immediate vicinity of the above identified areas. Views and vistas Does the proposal obscure or compromise important views? No important views are obscured by the proposed signage. Does the proposal dominate the skyline and reduce the quality of vistas? The proposed signage is located on or below the awning level and does not dominate the skyline or reduce the quality of vistas. Furthermore, the proposed signage is considered compatible with existing signage for adjoining tenancies along Victoria. Does the proposal respect the viewing rights of other advertisers? The proposed signage respects the viewing rights of other tenancies located along Victoria Road. Streetscape, setting or landscape. Is the scale, proportion, and form of the proposal appropriate for the streetscape, setting or


landscape? The proposed signage is similar to existing signage within the locality is therefore considered to be appropriate within the Gladesville Victoria Road Local Centre setting. Does the proposal contribute to the visual interest of the streetscape, setting or landscape? The proposed signage is considered compatible with existing signage for tenancies along Victoria Road within the Belmore Local Centre zone. Does the proposal reduce clutter by rationalising and simplifying existing advertising? The signage will act as an appropriate and simple advertising element to the site and is conducive to its total area. Does the proposal protrude above buildings, structures or tree canopies in the area or locality? The proposed signage does not protrude above the building and is located at or below the awning level. Site and building Is the proposal compatible with the scale, proportion and other characteristics of the site or building, or both, on which the proposed signage is to be located? The proposed signage is considered compatible with existing signage for tenancies along Victoria Road within the Gladsesville Victoria Road Mixed Use zone. Does the proposal respect important features of the site or building, or both? The proposed signage is located at or below the awning level and respects the features of the existing building. Does the proposal show innovation and imagination in its relationship to the site or building, or both? The proposed signage relates to the proposed use of the tenancy. Illumination Would illumination result in unacceptable glare? No glare impacts are envisaged as the illumination is within a light box similar to existing under awning signs within the locality. Would illumination affect safety for pedestrians, vehicles, or aircraft? The proposed signage is a light box and is not considered to affect the safety of pedestrians, vehicles, or aircraft. Would illumination detract from the amenity of any residence or other form of accommodation?


The proposed signage is located along Victoria Road within the Gladesville Local Centre and is not visible from any residence or other form of accommodation. Is the illumination subject to a curfew? Illumination of the signage will be switched off when the premises closes. Safety Would the proposal reduce the safety for any public road? The proposed signage is a light box sign and will not reduce the safety of any public roads. Would the proposal reduce the safety for pedestrians or bicyclists? The proposed signage is located under the awning and will not reduce the safety of pedestrians or bicycles. Would the proposal reduce the safety for pedestrians, particularly children, by obscuring sightlines from public areas? The proposed signage is located under the awning and does not obscure sightlines from public areas. The evaluation of the application having regard to the assessment criteria contained within SEPP 64 indicates that the proposal satisfies the objectives of the SEPP. Accordingly, approval is recommended.

retail, commercial, community, entertainment, religious, residential and other uses appropriate to a vibrant and growing town centre. Gladesville Town Centre and Victoria Road will:

• serve its local communities better with a diverse range of revitalised uses;

• include major retail, commercial and residential developments on key sites;

• develop a more cohesive built form and better landscaped public domain;

• define urban spaces as outdoor rooms lined by consistent built form and street trees;

• have heritage items and conservation areas protected and enhanced;

• contain new buildings which relate in built form to existing streetscapes and heritage items;

• enhance pedestrian links and public domain design to attract people to shop, work and live in the town centre; and

• be accessible for residents and for users of the centre.

therefore consistent with the vison statement of the Gladesville Town Centre.

2.2 Vision Statement - Precincts 2.2.3 Town Centre Precinct The town centre precinct is to be transformed from a poorly functioning strip shopping centre into a genuine mixed use town centre. The existing shops and pedestrian amenity on Victoria Road have been degraded by traffic and lack of renewal in recent years. The town centre will be revitalised with new large retail developments in Cowell Street and Coulter Street, which will support the existing retail shops with parking and greater pedestrian amenity. An enhanced pedestrian network and new public spaces will be created off Victoria Road, with a new square at the end of Wharf Road and street tree planting around the Coulter Street retail development. A pedestrian bridge across Victoria Road will link the existing shops and the proposed “one-stop” parking in large new retail developments in Cowell and Coulter Streets. Better pedestrian amenity on and around Victoria Road and a greater range of services will revitalise the town centre as the focus of urban life for the communities on both sides of the town centre.

2.3 Number of Signs a. Visual clutter through the proliferation of signage and advertising structures is not permitted. Note: Excessive signage usually has an opposite effect to its original intention. The cluttering causes visual pollution and confusion to the observer. Having fewer, but clearer advertising assists not only the advertiser, but also the appearance of the building and the overall streetscape. Excessive signage tends to have a “domino effect”, by competing with neighbouring premises in order to gain the advantage in exposure.

There are three business identification signs which do not result in visual clutter.

Yes

2.4 Design, Safety and Maintenance b. All signs must be sympathetic to, and compatible with the architectural style and finishes of the building to which they are attached, so as to look an integral part of the building rather than a “tack-on” appearance. They should not obscure existing architectural features such as windows.

The three business identification signs are in keeping with the architectural style of the building.

Yes

c. Signs are to be unobtrusive in design, colour, height and scale, so as not to impact adversely on the streetscape.

N/A

e. Electric wiring to illuminated signs is to be concealed.


N/A

f. Depending on its location and its relationship to residential properties, Council may require that


N/A


illumination be controlled by automatic time clocks extinguishing illumination between 11 pm and 6 am, or as is considered reasonable in the circumstances. 2.7 Corporate Branding a. it is permitted only in business and industrial zones;

Yes


market or sales room, showroom, or service station. Existing building/change of use or alterations - Must comply with all applicable provisions of this Part where there are structural alterations, major refurbishment or significant change of use affecting a substantial proportion of the gross floor area of the premises. - Where there is minor refurbishment to an existing building, accessibility shall not be made worse.

The proposed use is capable of complying with AS1428.2. The accessibility of the premises remains consistent with the previous use.

Yes

5.3 Continuous Accessible Path Of Travel The provision of a continuous accessible path of travel is the basic tenet on which access to premises is based. It allows people with disabilities to move without restriction into and throughout the building or other area. In general, it is expected that all parts of buildings will be accessible to people with disabilities. To do this requires careful planning so that access is not prevented by the inappropriate design or construction of minor aspects of the building that undo or negate the efforts that have been made in other areas. Note : There is little point in providing an accessible parking bay if a wheelchair user cannot get from the parking area and through the front door because of a step at the door. There is little point in making the entrance accessible if access throughout the building is impeded by steps or narrow doors or obstacles placed in the path of travel. Australian Standard, AS1428.2 provides technical details of what needs to be done to ensure a continuous accessible path of travel for most people with disabilities and should be referred to for complete specifications. Some of the major factors, however, are explained below. (AS1428.2 Clause 7)

Continuous path of travel is provided for the entire service area.

Yes

A wheelchair user needs a minimum of 1200 mm except at doors where more space is required. In addition, passing spaces need to be provided every 6 metres to allow two wheelchair users to pass. (AS1428.2 Clauses 6.1 to 6.5)

A minimum 1921mm wide pathof travel is provided in the service area.

Yes

5.5 Changes in Level The steps are at the rear of the store which access the

Yes


Even small steps or lips can prevent some wheelchairs from movement and may also be a hazard to ambulant people with disabilities. Any change in level that exceeds 3 mm must be ramped or an alternative access means provided (e.g. a lift). (AS1428.2 Clause 6.6)

storage area. The service area does not have any steps.

5.6 Vertical Clearance People who have visual impairment or who are blind need to be sure that the path of travel is free from obstacles that might strike them on the head or upper body. There must be clearance above the path of at least 2000 mm. (AS1428.2 Clause 6.7)

There are no vertical obstacles.

Yes

5.7 Ramps and Landings Wheelchairs are difficult for many users to push up slopes. This is because of the effort involved and because a steep slope may tip the wheelchair over backwards. Generally ramps must not have a gradient greater than 1:14.

The ramp at the entry remains unchanged and is less than 1:14 in grade.

Yes

5.8 Ground and Floor Surfaces Floor surfaces must be slip resistant so as not to be a hazard to people with disabilities. Where carpet is used it must provide a firm surface and be attached so that there are no changes in level greater than 3 mm between the carpet and any other surface. (AS1428.2 Clause 9)

There are no changes in level more than 3mm on the ground floor and all surfaces are non-slip.

Yes

5.9 Approaches and Entrances All public entrances and employee entrances are to be accessible to people with disabilities. Thresholds are to be avoided but where they are essential, they must be no higher than 56 mm and be ramped using a threshold ramp with a gradient of no more than 1:8. (AS1428.1 Clause 11.2)

The main entry is ramped. Yes

5.10 Doors and Doorways People who use wheelchairs and people using other mobility aids need clear door openings of at least 960 mm wide to enable equitable access. There also needs to be sufficient circulation space at doors to allow people with disabilities to open and close the doors independently. Where they can be used, automatically operated sliding doors offer a good solution for most people with disabilities. Where revolving doors and turnstiles

The main entry has a clear opening of 4.49m

Yes


are installed, an alternative entrance shall be provided. (AS1428.2 Clause 11) 5.11 Lifts Lifts should be provided in easily accessible locations in all buildings of more than two levels, excluding carparking levels, as required by Part B (Coverage of Development Control Plan) of this document. Lifts must be able to be operated independently by people with disabilities. There must be sufficient room for a wheelchair user to turn around in the lift car and control buttons are to be within reach of a wheelchair user. Handrails are to be provided. (AS1428.2 Clause 12) Information in lifts must be provided in tactile, aural and visual formats. Visual information must be able to be read by a person with visual impairment. (AS1428.4)

No lifts in the subject premises.

N/A

5.12 Tactile Ground Surface Indicators People who are visually impaired or blind need to be warned of hazards in or adjacent to the path of travel. This can be done by including tactile indicators in the path of travel ahead of hazards such as ramps, steps, roadways or before overhead obstacles that are close to the path of travel. In addition, directional information can be provided by appropriate tactile indicators at points in the path of travel where there are changes of direction. (AS1428.4)

Not considered necessary as there are no hazards throughout the path of travel.

N/A

5.13 Stairways, Escalators and Moving Pathways Some people with ambulant disabilities prefer stairs to ramps. However, any stairs, escalators or moving pathways used must be provided in addition to the continuous accessible path of travel and not as part of it. Stairs may have a rise of 150 to 165 mm and a tread of 275 to 300 mm. However, where possible, the rise should be 95 to 105 mm with a tread of 575 to 600 mm which suits people using assistive devices such as walking frames. Stairways are to have dual handrails on both sides of the stairway. The top rail is to be 865 to 900 mm from the top of a step and the lower rail

There are no stairs to facilities.

Yes


is to be 665 to 700 mm from the top of a step. Railings are to be a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 50 mm diameter. (AS1428.2 Clause 10.1) 5.14 Lighting Poor lighting can cause a safety hazard for all people. People with disabilities, particularly people with vision impairment, need good lighting for both safety and so they can find their way around. Lighting should not glare nor reflect unduly off surfaces as this can cause confusion and disorientation. In general, the minimum lighting level that complies is 150 lx. Some areas, such as toilets, counter tops and general displays, require more light – up to 300 lx.

All lighting is of appropriate brightness.

Yes

5.15 Gateways and Checkouts If access to, or egress from, a premises is through a gateway or checkout, care needs to be taken that people with disabilities can negotiate it. Gateways and checkouts suitable for people with disabilities are to be identified by the international symbol for access. Turnstiles are not appropriate for people with disabilities. An opening of at least 850 mm is required and any coin device or ticket machine is to be located at a height of between 800 and 900 mm to enable wheelchair users to use it. Any barrier must be at least 1200 mm past the ticket or coin feed point to allow a wheelchair user access.

Not checkout or gates in the subject premises.

N/A

5.16 Parking Areas Many people with disabilities use motor vehicles, at least in part because most public transport is inaccessible.

All access is via the front entry, parking is street parking or the parking at the rear via the laneway.

Yes

5.15.1 Off Street Parking Off Street Parking Parking spaces for people with disabilities are to be located close to exits of the parking area or close to entrances to premises (including close to lifts, ramps or walkways). There must be a continuous accessible path of travel from all parking spaces for people with disabilities to entrances to the premises.

No off street parking applicable to this premises.

N/A


In undercover parking areas, lifts are to provide access to all levels. The ground surface of parking bays is to be smooth, but non-slip and have a slope in any direction not exceeding 1:40. (There are special provisions for outdoor car parks – see AS2890.1 Clause 2.4.5 (a)). Parking spaces are to be a minimum of 3660 mm wide to allow a wheelchair user to fully open the car door and then transfer from the car to the wheelchair. Wheelchairs are often carried on the roof of the car using a wheelchair hoist. A vertical clearance of at least 2500 mm is required to allow the hoist to operate. This clearance must extend from the entrance to the parking bays for people with disabilities. Parking spaces are to be identified by the international access symbol. Where boom-gates are used at either the entrance or the exit, any ticket machine is to be within reach of a driver seated in the car and, for drivers who cannot operate the ticket machine, an intercom system provided that can be operated from the driver’s seat of the car. Class 5, 6, 7 and 8 In parking areas with more than 10 spaces, 3% of spaces are wide bay. That is : 10 to 33 spaces - 1 space 34 to 66 spaces - 2 spaces 67 to 100 spaces - 3 space 101 to 133 spaces - 4 spaces, etc

No on-site parking is available.

N/A

5.17 Sanitary Facilities Accessible sanitary facilities are to be provided in every location where other sanitary facilities are provided. Many people with disabilities need assistance with toileting and this is often provided by a person of the opposite sex to the person with a disability. It is therefore required that accessible facilities should be located so they can be accessed without the need to enter a male only or female only area. Generally, one unisex accessible facility is required to be provided near each block of male and female facilities. Developers are particularly urged to consult AS1428.2 Clause 15 before settling on a sanitary facility design.

Sanitary facilities are accessible with direct path of travel. All sanitary facilities were existing and were no constructed as part of the works included in the BIC.

Yes


Accessible sanitary facilities will be a minimum of 2300 mm by 1900 mm, unless a wash basin or other facility is also provided in the same area, in which case extra space is required. As some wheelchair users are able to transfer to one side only, where more than one accessible sanitary facility is provided there will equal numbers of facilities that allow transfer from wheelchair to toilet from the left and from the right hand side of the wheelchair. At least one emergency call button will be provided in each facility. Grabrails will be provided which comply with AS1428.2 Clause 10.2. (AS1428.2 Clauses 15.1 to 15.3) In each single sex facility there will be a cubicle that people with ambulant disabilities can use. It will comply with AS1428.2 Figure 12. 5.18 Washbasins Washbasins will allow a wheelchair user to sit front-on to the basin with room under it for clearance over the person’s knees. Provision should also be made for an area which allows for the easy placement of such things as hair brushes

Wash basin was existing and did not form part of the works under the BIC.

N/A

5.19 Shower Facilities Where shower facilities are provided, they will also be provided for people with disabilities. The accessible shower facility may be incorporated into the accessible sanitary facility provided sufficient circulation space is provided. The minimum circulation space required for an accessible shower is 1600 by 2350 mm. A fold-away seat and grabrails will be provided. A shower hose will be provided. An adjustable temperature control valve will be installed to prevent scalding. There shall be two levers on which to hang the shower hose.

No shower facilities proposed.

N/A

5.121 Controls, Handles, Fixtures Many people with disabilities are limited in their reach, in their strength and in their hand function. Controls for such things as lights, doors and power outlets must be designed and positioned to allow their operation by people with disabilities. In addition there needs to be sufficient contrast between the control and its background to enable a person with vision impairment to detect it.

No such controls applicable. N/A


Door handles must be able to be operated with one hand and be of a design that enables a person with no grip to use it – a “D” handle will often suffice where the door is unlocked. Lever handles allow people with limited hand function to open locked doors. Controls are to be located no less than 900 and no more than 1100 mm from the floor. Switches are to be no less than 500 mm from any corner to allow a wheelchair user to reach them. Should an outwards opening door be used, for example in a sanitary facility, a horizontal handrail or pull bar will be fitted to the inside of the door. A preferable solution is the use of sliding doors as internal doors. 5.22 Symbols and Signs Access will be identified by use of the international symbol for access. The figure will be white on a blue background. In general, a sign using the international symbol for access will face in the direction of the travel and may also include an arrow and a sign or word indicating a facility. Where hearing augmentation is provided it will be notified by use of the international symbol for deafness. Signs need to be clear and easily understood. The height of lettering and the colour contrast between lettering and the background needs to be sufficient to ensure signs can be read from a distance. For example, for a sign to be read from 2 metres the lettering must be at least 6 mm high, to be read from 12 metres, 40 mm high and from 50 metres, 150 mm high. (AS1428.2 Clause 17.2) Signs are to be illuminated without glare or reflection. (AS1428.2 Clause 17.3) Signs are to be located so they can be read from both a standing and a seated position. In general, signs are to be placed not more than 1600 and not less than 1400 mm from the floor. (AS1428.2 Clauses 17.4 and 25)

No such signage required for the proposed use.

N/A

5.23 Auditoriums and Assembly Areas Many people with disabilities patronize theatres, concert halls and the like. As often as other people they are accompanied by family or friends who may or may not have a disability. Seating in

No such development proposed.

N/A


these kinds of venues needs to be designed so that people with disabilities have a range of options as to where they sit. That is, seating should be available to people with disabilities in all price areas and levels of the venue. Provision must be made for people with disabilities to sit with others with disabilities and with others who do not have a disability. The surface of any wheelchair seating space will have a gradient no greater than 1:40. Seating for people with disabilities will be accessible along a continuous accessible path of travel from the street or car parking area. Any stage or podium is to be accessible by ramp or other means. The stage or podium will have sufficient circulation space for a wheelchair user. All controls will be able to be operated by a seated person. 5.24 Listening Systems for Hearing Augmentation Many people with hearing impairment can benefit from a hearing augmentation system which amplifies sound and in some cases can be used by people with “T” switches on their hearing aids. Other systems use supplied headphones or other devices. Where a sound amplification system is provided, at least 10% of the audience area in each classification of seating will be provided with a hearing augmentation system. The several types of hearing augmentation systems that are available are detailed in AS1428.2 Clause 21

No such systems required. N/A

5.25 Background Sound Levels For hearing systems to be effective, there needs to be a low level of background noise. Particular care should be taken with the installation of air conditioning and computer systems. (AS1428.2 Clause 20 & AS2107)

No amplified music proposed which may affect hearing systems.

N/A

5.26 Furniture and Fitments People with disabilities need to be able to use the furniture installed in premises. Tables, counters and worktops all need to be designed so that access is provided. No one table height suits all people with disabilities. Therefore it is necessary to provide for adjustment to table and worktop height or,

Wheelchairs may be used to access service tables and counters.

Yes


where this is impractical, to provide tops at a range of heights between 700 and 850mm. Tables, counters and worktops also need to have clearance under them for a wheelchair user. Generally this clearance should be no less than 710mm. The width of clearance under a table or counter must be no less than 800 mm. 5.27 Street Furniture Street furniture will not be situated so that it causes a hazard to people with disabilities. Items such as seats, tables, drinking fountains, planter boxes, etc will be positioned at least 500 mm from any accessible path of travel. All seating should have armrests at a height of 210 to 300 mm above the seat, and have a seat height of 450 mm unless a high proportion of elderly people are likely to use the seating. In this case at least some of the seats are to have a seat height of 520 mm which enables people to stand up from the seat more easily.

No street furniture proposed.

N/A

5.28 Emergency Warning Alarms Emergency warning systems need to include both visual and audible alarms so that as many people as possible can be alerted to any emergency. Signs that warn of danger are to be placed sufficiently ahead of the hazard to allow avoidance.

No audible alarm systems. All essential fire services comply with relevant Australian standards.

N/A

5.29 Emergency Egress Emergency exits need to be accessible to people with disabilities. Where egress is required from upper levels, the use of fire rated lifts or other means may be required. There is no Australian Standard dealing with this issue, however the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission’s Advisory Notes on Access to Premises provide advice.

Emergency exit is the main entry which is accessible.

Yes

5.30 Outdoor Areas – Parks, etc It is just as important for people with disabilities to have access to outdoor areas as it is for them to have access to buildings. Continuous accessible pathways of travel are to be provided from all entrances to all of the facilities in the area – e.g. toilets, change rooms, barbecues, activity areas, tables and seats.

No outdoor areas proposed. Yes


In addition, all facilities are to be constructed so as to provide access to them or to enable their use by people with disabilities. 5.31 Infrastructure People with disabilities need to be able to move between buildings and between transport nodes and their destinations. This means all train stations, bus interchanges, footpaths, shopping malls and the like must not only be accessible in themselves but also linked by continuous accessible paths of travel. Kerb ramps are particularly important and must conform to AS1428.1. To ensure that wheelchair accessible buses can be effective, all kerbs must be a minimum of 150 mm high. When footpath upgrading occurs, there needs to be a concerted effort to use the opportunity to increase access to shops. This might involve encouraging the shopkeeper / owner to meet some of the cost of making their shop accessible. Shops can often be made accessible by ramps within the shop, perhaps in combination with a threshold ramp on the footpath.

The storey is accessible to the public domain.

Yes

Part 9.3 Parking Controls 2.0 PARKING REQUIRED IN RESPECT OF SPECIFIC USES 2.1 General a. Where the calculation of the parking required results in a fraction, the parking requirement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

The is no on-site parking provided which is consistent with the previous uses of the building and buildings in the immediate locality fronting Victoria Road. The premises is services of street parking on Victoria Road and the public parking available at the rear of the site.

Yes
