                                                    have a maximum grade in accordance with
                                                    Section 3 of AS/NZS 2890.1
 Comment: The proposed new vehicular access will comply with the relevant Australian Standard
 and will not adversely impact upon the safety, capacity and operation of the existing road network.
 While more than one footpath crossing is provided, this remains the same as the existing
 development, with access being left in and left out, which is desirable at this location.

 O7 Sufficient carparking is provided to S7.1 The number of parking and loading bays is
 accommodate the number and type of vehicles not less than the minimum number specified in
 likely to be generated by the development Table 14-51 Vehicle Parking Requirements.
 having regard to the specifics of the use
 including –
 a) the type and intensity of land use;
 b) any existing parking available on the site;
 c) hours of operation;
 d) likely numbers of users;
 e) the peak parking demand periods of uses on
      the site; and
 f) the availability of alternative carparking.
 Comment: Under Table 14-51, for the uses being applied for the highest generating carparking use
 is the Industrial Business Type 2, which requires 1 space per 30m² of use area up to 150m², plus 1
 space per 50m² up to 500m², plus 1 space per 100m² in excess of 500m². Based on the current use
 area, which is 1,010m² for the existing development, a total of 18 carparking spaces are required.
 The applicant is proposing to provide 21 sealed spaces, with an additional gravel hardstand area
 that would provide for any overflow parking, if required. Further, there is sufficient sealed area
 provided on site for parking and unloading of a single unit truck. Consequently, it is suggested that
 there is sufficient parking provided for the proposed development.

 O8 The layout of the development provides S8.1 Parking bays, manoeuvring areas, queuing
 adequate, clearly defined and easily accessible – areas, loading, setdown and pickup areas and
