4.1.3 Servicing, Footpaths and Driveways
All relevant services can be provided to the proposed lots, including electricity supply, NBN,
reticulated water and sewerage, and connection to Council’s stormwater infrastructure.
A narrow verge width of approximately 3.6m exists along the frontage of the site and there is currently
no footpath established in the verge. Footpaths exist in front of 92 Hilton Terrace to the west and
110 Hilton Terrace to the south. Between these points, pedestrians currently share the use of a slip
lane associated with Hilton Terrace with cyclist. Should Council consider it necessary to provide a
footpath along the frontage of the site, this could be a condition of approval.
Standard driveway crossovers can be provided at the time of construction of the future uses
generally in the locations identified on the proposal plan. The design of these driveways will depend
on the nature of the uses to be established. Therefore, no driveways should be conditioned to be
constructed as part of any development approval.
4.1.4 Landscaping
The Landscaping Code seeks for a minimum of 2 street trees per lot or every 8 metres, whichever
is greater. The site has 50.2m of road frontage, which would equate to 6 street trees. The verge is
constrained by overhead powerlines and the species would need to be of a low height variety.
Appropriate conditions can be imposed to this effect.

6.0 Conclusion

applicable codes. The Planning Act 2016 prescribes the development must be approved, subject to
appropriate conditions. The proposed subdivision will provide for 3 rectilinear lots that area suitable
for further medium density residential development, consistent with the intent of the zone.

The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application, with
reasonable and relevant conditions, is therefore recommended. Please contact me if you require
