2.4 Special Conditions 2.4.1 Store Management shall be available at a mutually convenient time, at the invitation of Penrith City Council and/or the NSW Police, to discuss and action agreed Community Safety, Security or other issues in conjunction with other local stakeholders in the area should the need arise. 2.4.2 Conditions on Crime Prevention through environmental design are as follows: a) Lighting All areas intended to be used at night shall allow appropriate levels of visibility. Car parks must be lit to the minimum Australian Standard AS 1158 with consideration given to AS 4282 (Control of the obtrusive effects of outdoor lighting). Lighting shall have a wide beam of illumination which reaches to the beam of the next light or the perimeter of the site or area being traversed. Lights shall be directed towards access/egress routes. Lighting shall take into account all vegetation and landscaping that may act as an entrapment zone. Lighting shall be designed so that it is difficult for vandals to break. All lighting shall be maintained and kept in a clean condition with all broken or burnt out globes replaced quickly. b) Landscaping Medium height vegetation with concentrated top to bottom foliage must be avoided. Trees and plants placed along Mulgoa and Regentville Roads fronting the premises must be adequately spaced or crown raised to allow for natural surveillance of the site from the users of the road and avoid causing a continuous barrier. Vegetation must not be placed in any position which might conceivably conceal the building entrance from the car park or the street. Avoid vegetation or tree canopies in car parks and on road frontages that could impede the effectiveness of all lighting. All landscape islands in the car park area must avoid medium height vegetation with concentrated top to bottom foliage so as to avoid possible entrapment sites for car park users. c) Car Parking Car parks, aisles and manoeuvring shall be designed with safety and function in mind and have dimensions in conformity with Australian Standards 2890 (2890.1, 2890.2 and 2890.3). Car parks should avoid all traffic/pedestrian space conflict. The design of the car park should ensure that passive surveillance is possible and where appropriate, incorporate active measures such as cameras. Car parks should be well lit at night (refer to lighting comments). All entries and exits to car park should have clear directional signage. Given the high risk rating of this area for motor vehicle theft and steal from motor vehicles, the car parks should be kept under CCTV surveillance. d) Building Security and Access Control The building should be alarmed and monitored after hours. Any cash handling areas should be covered by CCTV and accompanying signage. Management should consider the use of CCTV within the premises and accompanying signage. e) Entrances Entrances must allow users to see into and out of the building before entering and exiting. Ensure any open roofs / skylights cannot be accessed from outside. f) Site and Building Layout Avoid placing seats or areas that give people an excuse to loiter near bathrooms. g) Building identification and Signage Entries and exits of the buildings should have clear directional signage. h) Vandalism Any damaged or vandalised property on the premises shall be repaired or cleaned in a timely fashion. 2.4.3 All mechanical plant and equipment is to comply with the noise criteria outlined in "Masters, Mulgoa Road, Penrith: Noise Emission Assessment" prepared by Acoustic Logic dated 12 December 2013 Revision 1 (Document Ref. 20131282.1/1212A/R1/LF).

The recommendations of the approved Management Plan are to be implemented and adhered to during the demolition and construction phase of the development.
2.4.6 Offensive odours are not to be emitted from the site. Vapours, fumes, gases, particles or any other substance that are considered to be harmful to human health or the environment or impact unreasonably on a person outside of the premises are not to be emitted from the site. 2.4.7 Twelve (12) months after the issue of the Occupation Certificate, an Acoustic Compliance Report is to be submitted to and approved by Council. The report is to be prepared by a suitably qualified acoustic consultant and is to address, but is not limited to, all noise generating activities on the site and the level of compliance with the noise criteria set within the "Masters, Mulgoa Road, Penrith: Noise Emission Assessment" prepared by Acoustic Logic dated 12 December 2013 Revision 1 (Document Ref. 20131282.1/1212A/R1/LF). It is also to consider the requirements of the NSW Environment Protection Authority's Industrial Noise Policy.
