 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




Low Density Housing Code:

    •   PO8 - The proposal includes a driveway and access plan (Dwg No. 0332-OW2.1) with
        a maximum width of 4.0 metres at the kerb and 3.0 metres at the property boundary,
        designed to comply with Standard Drawing RS-049 – Type 2. Additionally, the Driveway
        Details Plan (Dwg No. 0332-OW2.2) features Section A-A – Driveway Profile, including
        a vertical clearance check to ensure safe access for a B85 vehicle. The design of the
        driveway adapts to existing site constraints. Accordingly, the proposal is considered to
        provide safe access to and from the site and complies with PO8.

    •   AO12 - The driveway and access plan provided (Dwg No. 0332-OW2.1) shows the
        location of the proposed driveway is a minimum of 1.0m from the stormwater
        infrastructure to the north and complies with the acceptable outcome.

    •   PO13 – The proposed driveway and crossover retain the existing crossover location,
        which falls within the tree protection zone for the existing tree situated to the south
        but primarily fronts the neighboring property (refer Attachment 2). The proposal
        minimises adverse impacts on the streetscape and traffic network by utilising the
        current crossover location to service the dwelling. It is considered that the proposed
        driveway design demonstrates compliance with PO13.

    •   AO14 – The proposal only seeks to construct one (1) driveway, is not on a corner lot,
        and is located within the Low-Density Residential Zone.

    •   AO15 – Not applicable, the site is not mapped within a Bushfire hazard area.

    •   AO16 - Not applicable, the site is not mapped within a Flood hazard area.

    •   AO17 – Not applicable, the proposed does not include underground parking.

    •   AO18 – Not applicable, the proposal is not within proximity to a substation or
        transmission line.

Summary

In summary, the proposed design for the driveway satisfies access and safety requirements.
The design generally adheres to the standard drawings and meets the acceptable outcomes
and performance outcomes under the Low Density Housing Code, as applicable. This is in
terms of the width, clearance and proximity to existing infrastructure and the existing street
tree, which is to be protected during the course of the works. The design provides for
satisfactory access, minimises impact on stormwater drainage infrastructure and the nearby
street tree as far as practicable, and utilises the existing crossover location.
