This report has been prepared by Sheridan Planning Group (SPG) based on plans and information provided by Quinn O'Hanlon Architects and supporting technical documents. For a full description of the proposal refer to Section 3. This document has been prepared pursuant to Section 78A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979, and Section 50 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation, 2000. The purpose of this Statement is to address the merits of the proposal with particular reference to the Evaluation Criteria under Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979, taking into consideration the compliance/non•compliance of the proposal with the relevant statutory controls, the objectives for development within the area and assessment of the environmental impacts of the proposal. It is noted that this matter is a Crown Application for the purposes of Part 5A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act. This report should be read in conjunction with the following documentation: • Photographs of the site in Appendix A. • Development Application drawings prepared by Quinn O'Hanton Architects and O'Hanlon Design in Appendix B. • Architectural design statement prepared by Quinn O'Hanlon Architects in Appendix C. • AHIMS search results in Appendix D. • Waste Management Form in Appendix E. !: •i SHERIDANPLANNING GROUP 5 Cunninghams Reach, Linley Point June 2008 2.0 SITE LOCATION, DESCRIPTION AND OWNERSHIP 2.1 Site location, context and surrounding development { i J Cunninghams Reach is located between the eastern bank of the Lane Cove River and Burns Bay Road, Linley Point, as illustrated in Figure I below. Facilities include a sealed car park with formal parking for up to 25 vehicles plus additional informal parking, a BBQ, picnic benches and seats. Cunninghams Reach is a small, elongated, park along the Lane Cove River, adjacent to and well below Burns Bay Road at Linley Point. Vehicular access to and from the site is only possible from Burns Bay Road, via a sealed, single lane, one way loop road which passes below Fig Tree Bridge. / The key topographic feature of the site is a rock face, of between l m•8m in height, set generally parallel with Burns Bay Road. This exposed rock face is the result of quarrying undertaken in the 1960's. Land above the rock face, extending up to Burns Bay Road, is steep and well vegetated, other than for a section of the loop road. Land from the base of the rock face across to the river is essentially level, further confirming the extent of prior disturbance to this area of the foreshore. Vegetation comprises expansive areas of grass and numerous pockets of vegetation. The riverbank, for its entire length at Cunninghams Reach, is defined by a rock wall and treeline. Figure I •Site location map Land opposite the site, along the western bank of the river, is occupied by Boronia Park. That land is within the Hunters Hill local government area. For further details on the site and surrounds, refer to the Site Plan submitted with the application and photos in Appendix A. 2.2 Site description and ownership The site is known as Cunninghams Reach. The legal description of the subject land and ownership is shown in the table below: Lot Deposited Plan Owner 7101 1055655 Department of Lands 2 1117218 Commissioner for Main Roads SHERIDANPLANNING GROUP 6 Cunninghams Reach, Linley Point June 2008 In addition to the above, it is also necessary for NSW Maritime to provide consent, as landowner, for the construction of the jetty, ramp and pontoon. All required land owners consents are submitted under separate cover. SHERIOANPLANNING GROUP 7 Cunningharns Reach, Linley Point June 2008 3.0 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL 3.1 Background The original Sydney University boat house at Linley Point Reserve was constructed around 1965, and was destroyed by fire in March 2006. In the interim, the Sydney University Boat Club has been generously hosted at the St Ignatius College Boat Shed on Tambourine Bay. The Club has maintained its position as a premier club with 17 members in the Australian Rowing Teams 2007 despite the cramped conditions and shared facilities. At the time of construction the original shed was designed primarily to accommodate the Sydney University men's crews. Intervarsity races at this time were limited to an eight, four, pair and single, and competitors were limited to a single event. This represented a maximum of approximately 20 people• The original design of two boat bays was adequate to suit that purpose. By 2000 the growth of the sport and development of the club to an elite standard for both men and women increased the usage to around 35 people at each session. Elite competition now requires that each rower competes in single, pair, four and eight. In most cases boats are individually set up for each competitor. This resulted in a minimum of 15 boat seats per competitor and created the need for a large fleet to service a small number of elite competitors. At the time of the fire in 2006 the boat house was overflowing with the Club and private sculls of the 32 competitors preparing for the National Selection Trials. In excess of 40 boats of varying sizes were destroyed in addition to 6 speedboats and around 300 oars. Figure 2 • Existing and proposed sites for SUBC Following the fire, discussions commenced with NSW Maritime and Lane Cove Council to replace the facility. Analysis revealed several factors that had changed since construction of the original building including: Significant increases in traffic along Burns Bay Road Development of residential areas at Riverview Increases in moorings in Burns Bay Increased site usage and parking limitations In addition, changes to statutory requirements affected the type of building that could be provided• Sydney Harbour REP (Sydney Harbour Catchment) 2005 identified Linley Point reserve as a wetland site. NSW Maritime strongly encouraged the opening up of foreshores and the placement of buildings on land rather than over water• SHERIDANPLANNING GROUP 8 Cunninghams Reach, Lintey Point June 2008 An extensive assessment of 3 sites was carried out and the outcome discussed with Lane Cove Council. It was generally agreed that Cunningham's Reach appeared to present the preferable option for the relocation of the boat club. Assessment of these factors has indicated that Cunninghams Reach is a more suitable location for the boat club. The location of the former and proposed facilities is shown in Figure 2 above. 3.2 Overview of the proposal Development approval is sought to construct a purpose designed facility for the Sydney University Boat Club. An application for a Construction Certificate is to be sought separately. The primary components of the development are: Extension of an existing at grade pathway to provide a defined pedestrian access from the car park to the river bank, which will continue north adjacent to the river for the frontage of the site. Construction of a two storey building. Construction of a deck and ramp providing access to a pontoon in the river, set adjacent to the river bank, at the northern end of the site. The location of the proposed building and structures is shown in Figure 3 below. Figure 3 • Aerial photo of site showing proposed development It is anticipated that the facility will be used by approximately 25 athletes in the morning and approximately 15 athletes in the afternoons, assisted by coaching staff of 1 • 3 people.

Oral history has been described as "a picture of the past in people's own words". It reveals what you often won't find in the files and the history books - the facts and the real reasons things happened. It is told by the people who were there - those who were involved, who made it happen, who were affected - in the colour, passion and inflection of their own voices. Oral history accounts can also tell about relationships, perceptions, social and political climates, all of which are part of life and influence our actions and those of others. It often reveals the unsung heroes, the names of those actually responsible for innovations and important changes. So, oral history provides a counterbalance to the formal written record by providing the personal, intimate, human and social account of events and why they happened. The RTA Environment and Community Policy Branch established an Oral History Program in 1997, to investigate various topics of historical interest.
