Development Assessment Report

 PROJECT URBAN – 19304                                                                     November 2020

A detailed assessment of the proposal against the relevant Performance and Acceptable outcomes
in the Code has been undertaken and the proposal has been found to comply with all the relevant
Acceptable outcomes except for the proximity of some bedrooms to the driveway and car parking
areas set out in AO12. Please refer to the detailed Code Assessment in the supporting document
for further details but an alternative solution to AO12 is discussed below.

Acceptable Outcome AO12 reads as follows:

        “Bedroom windows are at least 3 metres away from shared driveways, car parking areas,
        mechanical plant, refuse and recycling areas, vents and exhausts”.

The bedrooms in the Respite building and a bedroom on the ground level of the apartment are
within 3m of either the shared driveway, waste collection area or car parking and the proposal has
therefore been assessed again the associated Performance Outcome PO12 which reads as follows:

        “Development is designed to minimise noise carrying between dwelling units or
        accommodation units by locating noise sensitive spaces such as bedrooms away from noise
        generating areas of the development, such as car parking areas or mechanical plant and
        equipment or recreational facilities”.

The proposed layout is considered to comply with PO12 for the following reasons:

    •   The car parking space and bins adjacent to the affected bedrooms in the Respite building
        will only be used by residents of this building; and

    •   Given the nature of the proposed use and the limited number of parking spaces on site, the
        amount of vehicles using the shared driveway will be limited particularly during the evening
        and early morning will be minimal.

As a result, it is considered that the proposed layout will create a quiet and peaceful environmental
for future residents and the proximity of some bedrooms to the shared driveway and other facilities
will into result in an adverse impact on the amenity enjoyed by residents living in the Respite care
and Apartment Building.

Overall, it is considered that the proposed residential care facility complies with the relevant Overall,
Performance and Acceptable outcomes in the Special Residential Code.
