Minister’s requirements. The outcomes of the Housing Needs Assessment and Strategy will inform
the preparation of the monitoring report.
Carparking and Driveways Code
The Driveways and Parking Code requires the short-term accommodation to provide two spaces
per dwelling and one space per four dwellings for the use, resulting in a total of 3 spaces for Unit
1. The proposal provides two spaces for Unit 1 within the existing lock up garage with the front
driveway able to be used for one tandem space. The provision of tandem space for the use is not
considered appropriate as it restricts the use of the double garage and the adjoining unit’s garage
and has the potential for vehicles to park in the surrounding area.
