The pertinent issues arising out of the assessment against the codes are discussed below:
  Code                 Discussion
  Cooroy & Lake        SO4 and SO5 relate to the use of laneways in the locality. Specific Outcome O4
  Macdonald            states that uses are not to diminish the ability of laneways to:
  Locality Code             a) relieve traffic on streets;
                            b) provide convenient and safe rear access to premises; and
                            c) add to the heritage character of Cooroy;
                       Specific Outcome O5 states:
                       O5 Access for new uses is only taken off a laneway where upgrading works are
                       carried out to the laneway to enable the laneway to accommodate the anticipated
                       levels of traffic.
                       The applicant indicates that the existing dwelling currently takes access off Olivine
                       Lane with the new rear dwelling unit continuing to use this rear access. No further
                       works are proposed to be undertaken in the lane as the applicant submits that they
                       have provided works that are the same width as the remainder of Olivine Lane and
                       retains the existing vegetation further to the east along the Lane.
                       Council’s Development Engineer has identified that the most suitable outcome is a
                       condition of the permit requiring a 2.0 metre wide dedication along the whole frontage
                       to facilitate future works by Council to widen Olivine Lane.
                       In response to this the applicant has provided the following request:
