Figure 12: Sight distance requirements for domestic driveways (AS 2890.1:2004)


Figure 13 shows the sight distance availability for vehicles exiting the site onto Rufous
Street.

As can be seen, a clear sight line towards the right-hand side of a driver exiting the site
can be achieved up to the Woodlane Drive / Rufous Street intersection, without any
permanent obstructions in the public domain. Also, the required 69m sight distance can
be achieved towards the left-hand side of a driver exiting the site without any
permanent obstructions outside the site boundary. However, the sight envelop
encroaches over the southwestern corner of the site. Figure 14 shows the site plan and
the required sight envelop. As can be seen, the section of the southwestern corner of
the site that encroaches over the sight envelop is proposed to accommodate
landscaping. Any landscaping within this section should be conditioned to be less than
1.15m in height (this is the driver's eye height as per AS 2890.1).

Figure 15 shows a street view image of Rufous Street. It shows the location of a vehicle
on Rufous Street 69m away from the frontage of the driveway to the subject site. As can
be seen, a clear line of sight can be achieved between this vehicle on Rufous Street and
a vehicle exiting the site.
