 Part 9 Development codes
 9.4 Works codes
 9.4.1 Driveways and Parking Code

     Application
     (1)   This code applies to assessable development identified as requiring assessment against the Driveways and parking code
           by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of Assessment).
     (2)   All provisions in this code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development.

     Purpose and Overall Outcomes
     (1)   The purpose of the Driveways and parking code is to ensure driveways and parking:
           (a)    are adequate to serve the access and parking needs of development; and
           (b)    are designed to protect the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.
     (2)   The overall outcomes sought for the Driveways and parking code are:
           (a)    Car parking spaces and associated manoeuvring areas are designed to be safe and functional and meet the
                  reasonable requirements of the particular land use.
           (b)    Adequate provision is made for the standing, parking, loading and unloading, access and manoeuvring of service
                  vehicles within the development site.
           (c)    The use of motor scooters and motorcycles are promoted as an alternative to cars within urban areas, with
                  appropriate parking provided for such vehicles.
           (d)    Driveways and parking areas do not adversely impact on existing public parking.
           (e)    Vehicular access does not impact adversely upon existing landscaping or native vegetation.
           (f)    Driveways and parking areas provide safe and efficient pedestrian and cycle access.
           (g)    Access, parking, servicing and associated manoeuvring areas do not detract from the streetscape character,
                  and are designed to discourage crime and antisocial behaviour.
           (h)    Driveways and parking areas avoid adverse impacts on the environment and the amenity of the locality.
