Response
The proposed driveway is considered to be generally compliant with RS-049 for a duplex with frontage
less than 20m. The width at the boundary is 5.0m and the width at edge of asphalt is 6.20m which only
represents an additional 100mm of flare on each side of the crossover to assist with the non-standard
