4.4 Works Codes – Operational Works
Engineering
A stormwater management plan prepared by SCG has been submitted for the development
complying with the relevant codes. Driveway and crossover details have been provided
demonstrating compliance with grades and cross falls outlined in the Planning Scheme.

Carparking
The Planning Scheme seeks 3 spaces for a Dual occupancy. The design provides 3 covered car
spaces in the form of a single carport and a double garage complying with the code provisions. The
proposal fronts Werin Street, a local road, and therefore vehicles do not have to exit the site in a
forward gear. However, if the owners seek to vehicles can exit the site in a forward gear given the
extent of driveway near the garaging.

Landscaping
A landscaping plan is also provided as part of the proposal package including streetscape planting
and screening vegetation along the front and side boundaries. The proposal complies with the
required 40% total landscaping and also exceeds the required 60% soft landscaping required with
70% of the total 40% landscaping provided.
