Development Application part 2 Report and Plans MCU13/0053

                Compliance

                The current development does not propose the establishment of additional landscaping.
                Although     the   subject site predominately   contains   pines   trees for timber   harvesting,
                corridors and areas of existing mature remnant and regrowth vegetation existing around
                the proposed facility which are unlikely to be removed. The proposed facility in an area
                which is bordered by this existing mature vegetation will help reduce visual dominance.
                Additionally, the facility only requires a small footprint area (80m2)and does not require
    ,       \
                the removal of vegetation. Additional landscaping to screen the facility is not considered
                necessary.



                Therefore, the proposal is considered to have a minimal impact on the natural landscape
                or built environment as the existing mature vegetation will be maintained and will act as a

                buffer.


                7.2.5 Driveways and Carparking Code

                The Code for         Driveways and Carparking   is   required to be assessed    as    part of this
                application. The Overall Outcomes of this code are:

                     a) Safe and reasonable access to and from vehicle accommodation and standing
                        areas within a property and from the public road is provided;

                     b) The safety ofpedestrians and cyclists is protected;
                     c) Development reduces the reliance on private vehicles and promotes public and
                        nonmotorised transport options;
                     d) Carparking spaces and the associated manoeuvring areas provided are designed
                        to be safe and functional and meet the reasonable requirements of the particular
                          land use;
                     e) Adequate provision is made for the standing, parking, loading and unloading,
                        access and manoeuvring of service vehicles within the development site;

                     f) Development does not adversely impact on existing public parking;
II                   g) Adequate monetary contributions are made in circumstances where Council
                        considers the provision of external parking will fulfill the parking demand generated
                        by the development and will not have an adverse impact on existing public parking;
                          and
                     h)   Vehicular access does not impact adversely upon existing landscaping or native
                          vegetation. Settling

                Compliance

                The car parking requirements in the Code for Driveways and Carparking does not provide
                a   parking requirement for an ’Infrastructure Use’. However, the points below demonstrate
                a   general compliance with the intent of the code:

I       I            .    Access to theproperty is currently provided via the existing crossover on the
                                 property boundary and via Lake Flat Road and intemal access track
                          northern
                       (approximately 17km long);
                     . This access track is considered to provide safe and convenient access to meet the
                       needs of the maintenance vehicles which will infrequently access the site;
                     . Adequate provision has been allocated for service vehicles to access the site and


                       park whilst undertaking maintenance works;
                     . The proposed development will not increase the number of people living or working


                       in the area and does not require the provision of any formal parking; and
