5.5    Driveways and Parking Code
37.    The number of car parking spaces, motorcycle spaces, bicycle spaces and loading bays has been provided
       in accordance with Table 9.4.1.4 - Minimum parking requirements including end of trip facilities. The
       development provides two (2) covered car parking spaces per dwelling and one (1) additional visitor car
       space as required. The table does not identify any requirement to provide motorcycle spaces, bicycle
       spaces or loading bays. In any case, bicycles could be stored within garages or within private open space
       areas and the driveway is of sufficient dimensions to facilitate infrequent access for moving trucks. With
       turning bays provided in each driveway, vehicles can enter and exit the site in forward gear. The proposed
       development complies with the Driveways and Parking Code on this basis.


5.6    Earthworks Code
38.    The Earthworks Code will be assessed at Operational Works stage as part of a subsequent application to
       Council. It is noted that the cut/fill works onsite will not result in a change to ground level of more than
       1.5 metres anywhere across the site.


5.7    Existing Services Code
39.    The development will be connected to all essential urban infrastructures. The proposal is for infill
       development within a well-established and well serviced locality therefore maximising the efficient use
       of existing infrastructure. All works and connections to infrastructure will be undertaken in accordance
       with the relevant Planning Scheme Policies, Unitywater requirements and other service provider
       requirements. The proposed development suitably complies with the Existing Services Code.


5.8    Fire Services for Common Private Title Code
40.    The Fire Services for Common Private Title Code will be assessed at Operational Works stage as part of a
       subsequent application to Council.


5.9    Landscaping Code
41.    Detailed landscape design drawings will be submitted to Council under a subsequent Operational Works
       application to demonstrate compliance against the Landscape Code.


5.10 Sustainable Building Design Code
42.    Each unit is provided with large building openings to capture prevailing breezes and maximize natural
       ventilation and cross breezes. Further, extended roof eaves and covered balconies are proposed to shade
       building facades and provide protection to building openings during weather events. All units are also
       provided with private open space areas that have a desirable north-eastern orientation. Overall,
       sustainable building design has been carefully considered in the proposed development.

43.    The proposed development can largely be conditioned to comply with the remaining aspects of the
       Sustainable Building Design Code, with the stormwater harvesting and landscape provisions of the Code
       able to be assessed as part of a subsequent Operational Works application. It is noted that the proposal
       dedicates 473.51m² of the site to landscaping (46.78%) and in turn minimises hard surface areas that
       reflect or store heat. This landscaping extent will include shade trees, particularly along the street
       frontages, with the proposed species intended to be detailed at Operational Works stage.


5.11 Transport Code
44.    The development is not of a scale that would unreasonably impact the operation of Tewantin Road, with
       the existing access driveway proposed to be retained for one (1) unit only. All resident vehicles can enter
