be compliant with the relevant
requirements. The
development will comply
where applicable.

The Applicant fails to provide
objective evidence or verification of
the source of its “considered” opinion
that vehicle access is compliant.

In the contrary, the proposed
Development’s vehicular access
adversely impacts on safety of
children using the pedestrian pathway
to and from the School. The proposed
Development will significantly

The qualification “technically” is an
obfuscation. The proposed
Development does not comply with
the minimum requirements according
to Table 14-51 Vehicle Parking

It is the Applicant’s responsibility to
design a compliant solution in all
respects, including provision of
required car parking spaces to comply
with the planning scheme.

Council has determined by way of the
planning scheme what is ‘suitable’.
The Applicant provides no
qualification, expert opinion or
justification to allow a conclusion that
the amount proposed is “suitable.”
