4.0 Planning Report

5.6.4      Works Code

The development proposed has been intentionally designed within the parameters and requirements of the relevant

Works Code, 9.4.1-9.4.10 as relevant. The proposal provides for all required vehicle access and maneuvering

standards in addition to the required number of vehicle parking spaces (car, motorcycle and bicycle). The site is able to

be connected to the reticulated water and sewerage infrastructure subject to relevant applications. Further the site has

access to the necessary electricity and telecommunication services.


The built form has responded to the constraints, size and shape of the site and has ensured natural light and ventilation

opportunities have been maximized where possible. The landscape design has incorporated the use of low

maintenance endemic species which ensure landscape at maturity continues to off-set the built form with natural

amenity.


Existing concrete kerb and channel will be preserved by the proposal with exception to those parts which need to be

removed to instate the driveway cross-over.


5.6.5      Landscaping Code

Proposed landscaping has opted for the use of endemic species which provide a low maintenance and draught tolerant

landscape. The development requires the removal of two (2) existing street tree to construct the proposed driveway, two

substitute trees will be plated subject to a suitable location identified on-site. Multiple Blueberry Ash trees are proposed

which provide a generous height and shade canopy at maturity and are located at the sites frontage assisting in

generating shade of the car parking areas.


Shallow root species and ground covers are proposed along the properties eastern portions due to a shallow depth

retaining wall toe.
