Urban Digestor was commissioned by 429 Swan St Pty Ltd to provide an Ecologically Sustainable Design (ESD)

assessment of the proposed townhouses 16-26 Farmer St, Richmond in the Municipality of Yarra.

The purpose of this Sustainability Management Plan (SMP) report is to convey to council how the project has considered,

evaluated and incorporated a range of sustainability initiatives that combined create a development proposal that goes

beyond a minimum compliance approach to sustainability. To address Yarra's ESD objectives, Urban Digestor has

structured the report according to the SDAPP themes to succinctly outline the project's sustainability initiatives. A

benchmark business-as-usual or minimum compliance building has been the basis to compare the proposed

development against and to allow an accurate analysis of ESD measures. In the Appendix a STEPS assessment can be

found to show compliance in this regard. The table below summarises the projects STEPS performance.

The project achieved the following scores in the STEPS tool.

The key outcomes for the development are listed below:

• Cross ventilation to townhouses available through openable windows

• 5 star gas instantaneous hot water system to each dwelling

• High-efficiency LED lighting to all townhouses & common areas, with motion sensor control to common areas.

• Cabling will be provided for individual PV systems on each roof.

• The car park is naturally ventilated.

• Water-efficient fixtures & fittings

• 15,000L rainwater collection & reuse system plumbed to toilets, irrigation and bin-wash to reduce potable water

use.

• Low-VOC interior paints to create healthy interiors

• Bicycle racks for occupants & great access to public transport & walkable neighbourhood

• Construction & Waste Management & Environment Management Plan to be created by contractor

• Re-development of previously developed site, which minimises urban sprawl and vegetation areas.

It is envisaged that this SMP will be endorsed as part of the town planning permit documentation to ensure that the

intent captured herein is transferred into subsequent stages of the project.

The case for Sustainable Design

Today, buildings produce 20% of Australia's greenhouse gas emissions through the use of energy during operation.

What's more, the construction of buildings, including demolition waste, contributes 40% of all the materials sent to

landfill. And in operation, buildings use large amounts of potable water for non—drinking purposes. For environmental,

economic and social reasons, Victorian Councils are now focusing on the built environment to assist in the creation of a

sustainable community. Therefore, Council's planning application process includes sustainable design considerations.

What is Sustainable Design

Sustainable design is a key priority in the development of today's built environment. Sustainable design protects our

environment, secures today's living standards and future—proofs our community against rising energy, water and waste

disposal costs. Several Victorian Councils have developed a consistent and transparent sustainable design assessment

process. This process offers a high level of planning certainty relevant to sustainable design, and ensures that it has been

considered during the early project phase — when it achieves the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.

Sustainable Design in the Planning Process (SDAPP)

The Sustainable Design Assessment in the Planning Process

(SDAPP) program refers to the inclusion of key environmental

performance considerations into the planning permit

approvals process in order to achieve more sustainable

building outcomes for the long-term benefit of the wider

community. Projects are evaluated across the following

Passive Design Review — Preliminary Energy Rating Results for Dwellings

Please refer to the table attached in Appendix 1 which outlines the preliminary energy-rating results for the units based

on a single common preliminary specification.

The preliminary results show that using the reference specification the units are currently performing to the following

level:

Average Star Rating across development

6.0 stars (6 required)

Minimum Star Roting across development

5.2 stars (5 required)

Average Area

88.9m2

Average Heating (MJ/yr) across development 75MJ/m2/year

Average Cooling(MJ/yr) 41MJ/m2/year

A range of changes to the thermal-fabric specification were modelled to determine their impact on the energy ratings.

Resulting from this preliminary modelling, a preliminary specification has been selected.

Daylight is available to all living spaces & bedrooms.

Natural ventilation via operable windows is available to all townhouses through operable windows and doors to

unenclosed, naturally ventilated corridors.

Thermal mass will be available in the form of concrete floors to act as a temperature stabilizer within each dwelling,

storing solar heat absorbed during the day to be later released at night. These measures to capture, store and utilize

winter solar gains are then maximised through insulating the dwellings with insulation and glazing specifications as

shown in Appendix 1.

Shading

Most of the development is oriented to the North for good solar access. These windows are either shaded by a mixture

of balcony overhangs and/or adjustable shading devices. Shading is addressed by energy rating requirements. Unshaded

east and west facing glazing will require higher performance glazing.

Natural Ventilation

Natural cross ventilation windows is available to all townhouses through operable windows and doors to the unenclosed,

naturally ventilated corridors.

Advantages

• High luminous efficacy (70 to 120 lumen/W)

• Long lifespan (10,000 to 20000hrs+ downlights,

20000 to 40000hrs tubes)

• Adds little heat load to building

Cost Implications ($) —$13 to $27 typical for lamp

Disadvantages

• Relatively high capital cost

• Some restrictions of fitting type and/or range of

choice

• Some quality control issues for low cost brands

• Downlights penetrate building fabric (see Downlight

Covers below)

Lighting Controls:

Lighting controls can have large effects on the total energy consumption of buildings, with a variety of methods to

switch and control circuits. Motion detection will control common area corridor & car park lighting systems.

Motion detection (occupancy sensors, PIRs, MDs etc.) can be useful for spaces occupied intermittently such as corridors,

car parks, hallways, laundries & stores. Appropriate precaution needs to be given to maintaining a low light level for

some areas such as common areas & car parks, with a standard recommendation being 75% of circuits on motion

detection.

Daylight sensors (photocells, PEs etc.) can be useful for areas that receive adequate natural light that operation is not

required. Lighting can be switched entirely on/off when natural light reach a certain level (on/off daylight control), or

continuously dimmed up or down as natural conditions permit (dimming daylight control).

& lobbies. CeC°\ V° This development will commit to motion detectors to spaces of intermittent use like the carpark and common corridors

5. Water Efficiency To ensure the efficient use of water, to reduce total operating potable water use and to encourage the

appropriate use of alternative water sources

Key Initiatives

High efficiency fixtures & fittings have been committed to across the development

including:

• 4 Star WELS Rated Toilets

• 4 Star WELS Rated Bathroom & kitchen tap sets

• 3 Star WELS Rated Shower

5.1 Fixtures & Fittings


Toilets: 3 Star WELS (9L/4.5L full/half flush) typical practice.

Min is 1-star 9L/4.5L full/half flush.

Basin & kitchen taps: 3 Star WELS (7.5 to 9L/min) typical

practice. Min is 2-star (9 to 12L/min).

Shower: 3 Star (<9L/min) WELS typical practice. Min is 2-star

(9 to 12L/min).

Washing machines: 2.5 Star WELS minimum (15.12 to

17.50L/kg washed).

Dishwashers: 1 Star WELS (1.64 to 2.12L/place setting)

Note: Assumed that no washing machines or dishwashers

will be provided to apartments.

Efficient Fixtures & Fittings

Benchmark Development


The proposed specification for fixtures & fittings across

the development (i.e. retail & residential) has been

outlined below.

• Toilets: 4 Star WELS 3.5L/Flush)

• Basin taps: 4 Star WELS (>6L/min but .1. 7.5L/min)

• Shower: 3 Star (> 6L/min but 5_ 7.5L/min)WELS

No dishwashers or washing machines will be provided to

townhouses. They will be tenant supplied.

Rainwater collection to toilets to all townhouses (as

outlined in stormwater section)

Showers: Showers are a large user of potable water within dwellings, and a range of efficient showerheads are available.

It is commonly the assumption that lower water usage means a less satisfactory showering experience but recent

research has shown this not to be the case and that is more related to design quality than WELS rating. See:

6. Stormwater Management To reduce the impact of stormwater run-off, to improve the water quality of stormwater run-off, to

achieve best practice stormwater quality outcomes and to incorporate the use of water sensitive urban design, including rainwater re-use.

Key Initiatives

15000L tank collecting rain off 497m2 of roof area. Rainwater to be reused for toilet flushing, irrigation and bin wash

6.1 Stormwater Strategy

Standard Practice or

Minimum Requirement


A minimum stormwater rating of 100% on the Melbourne Water STORM tool is required.

The proposed stormwater management strategy for the development is the

capture & use of rainwater for toilets and irrigation to act as stormwater

detention & filtration systems.

Key Initiatives

7. Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ) To achieve a healthy indoor environment quality for the wellbeing of building occupants.

• Natural light available to all dwellings and shops.

• Cross-ventilation opportunities to all retail & residential areas

• Low or Zero VOC internal paints to be used throughout the development

• Joinery specified will be low-formaldehyde (El-rated or better)

Summary

All habitable rooms (bedrooms and living areas) throughout the development have access to natural light. The

development has been design with a central courtyard to allow for natural light and ventilation to all townhouses. There

are no borrowed light rooms across the development.

7.2 Thermal Comfort

Summary

As noted in the passive design review, a good thermal fabric and cross ventilation

opportunities will allow occupants to adjust their thermal conditions of their

dwellings.

7.4 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Summary

Volatile organic compounds or VOCs are indoor pollutants that arise from off-gassing from synthetic

(and some natural) materials after they are installed within a building, subsequently being breathed in

by occupants. The impact of VOCs on occupants range from the minor to the severe, including effects

headaches, eye nose & throat irritation, dizziness, and at some levels, toxicity and the potential to lead

to chronic diseases or cancer.

The development is committing to specifying paints only with a Low or Zero VOC content to Greenstar IEQ levels, as

there are many cost comparable brands available for most applications.

A more difficult source of VOCs to eliminate is those via sealants, glues, adhesives & carpets. The project team will make

a commitment to fully explore alternative Low or Zero VOC products for such applications.

7.5 FORMALDEHYDE

SUMMARY, RECOMMENDATIONS & OUTSTANDING DECISIONS

Another common source of indoor pollutants of concern to the health of occupants is formaldehyde,

which is typically found in engineered timber products such as used in joinery, cabinetry & other

reconstituted wood products, panels & sheeting.

It is recommended that low formaldehyde materials, E0 super, E0 or El rated be specified for engineered

timber products such as MDF etc. Again, it is recommended that such a commitment be capitalised upon in marketing

materials to promote the health aspects of the development.

Cyclist Facilities

The City of Yarra is well serviced by the Principal Bicycle Network (PBN) with on-road and informal bicycle paths directly

linking the City of Yarra with the surrounding municipalities of Melbourne and the CBD.

The site has excellent access to bicycle infrastructure with informal bicycle facilities on many major and minor roads in

close proximity of the subject site. Cycling has been encouraged within the development through the provision of bike

storage within the garage space of each townhouse.

Walkability

Easy access of retail, commercial & social services within walkable distance of a development can contribute to

reductions in car & other fossil-fuel transportation, as well contribute to a richer social dynamic. The Walk-Score for the

site is listed below, suggesting that the site is very suitable for urban infill & densification. See:

9.1 Concrete & Embodied Energy

Summary

The development is exploring methods & measures to reduce the embodied emissions of the concrete used in the

development, through such measures as recycled aggregates, cement substitutes.

Summary

Victoria's Getting Full Value (2013 waste and resource recovery policy) sets the

foundation for Victoria to get the best value it can from waste resources, while

protecting the health of its communities and the environment. The principles

outlined in the policy complement the principles of environment management of

the Environment Protection Act 1970 and provide supplementary guidance in the

consideration of options for waste management.

From a design perspective, the development shall support the policy by providing

an adequate waste system with ability to sort waste. This will enable the operator to implement the policy and consider

its various options. The operator shall promote the observance of the policy (where relevant and practicable) and

encourage users and staff to participate in minimising the impact of waste on the environment. For improved

sustainability, the operator shall consider the following:

Peruse the Sustainability Victoria Website: www.sustainability.vic.gov.au.

• Observe the Environment Protection Act 1970 and its waste hierarchy (in order of preference): a) waste avoidance, b)

reuse, c) recycle, d) recovery of energy, e) treatment, f) containment, and g) disposal.

• Participate in council and in-house programs for waste minimisation.

• Establish waste reduction and recycling targets; including periodic waste audits, keeping records, and monitoring of

the quantity of recyclables found in landfill bound bins (sharing results with users/staff).

To facilitate source sorting of waste all kitchen joinery will incorporate 2 bins to allow for the

separation of general and recyclable waste.

Bins will be located on the basement floor to minimise noise and smells as well as, maintaining

visual amenity (access via lift/stairs)

Other Waste Streams

The disposal of hard/electronic/liquid waste, and home detox (paint/chemicals), etc. shall be

organised with the assistance of the private waste contractor /operator.

For further details please refer to the Waste report for further information regarding waste aspects of the development.

10.2 Construction & Demolition Waste Target

Summary

The development will ensure the tender documentation includes

requirements for contractor to prepare & implement a construction waste

management plan that will include the documenting of waste records,

quarterly updates to the owner and records of recycling figures.

A 60% demolition waste recycling target and construction waste recycling

target has been committed to.

11. Building & Construction Management To encourage a holistic and integrated design & construction process and ongoing high performance.

Key Initiatives

Supply of building user's guide to future occupants

Contractor shall be required to have or develop an Environmental Management Plan

(EMP) for the development.

11.1 Building User's Guide (BUG)

Summary

The developer has committed to either the contractor or developer developing a Building

User's Guide or BUG, so that future occupants can efficiently and sustainably operate their

dwelling & the services that supply their dwelling. Buildings are unique in that despite being a

very high cost item, do not come with an operating manual that even a cheap consumer good

would! As such, the user can potentially operate their dwelling inefficiently and eliminate any

benefit that designed systems should have delivered. A BUG can be useful tool in educating &

informing the final occupant of these aspects.

Reuse of previously developed site

12.1 Reuse of Previously developed Land

Summary

The proposed development is being conducted on previously developed land, and as such does not contribute

significantly to the reduction of greenfield sites of ecological value.

Proposed landscaping will improve the ecological value of the site.
