Response to Information Request · MCU13/0251

A revised landscape plan will be provided at operational works stage, being generally
consistent with the Landscaping Plan previously prepared by Anembo Consultants, but also
incorporating the above amendments.

16. Please include all recommendations contained within the Koala Habitat Management Plan,
    submitted with the application.

The recommendations of the Koala Habitat Management Plan (KHMP) will be incorporated
where appropriate. To that end, there are no Koala food trees on the subject land. It is not
appropriate to incorporate koala food trees in the landscaping for this development, which
would encourage Koalas within an area that has high traffic movements. All necessary
protection measures will be undertaken should any Koala be on the site during construction,
which is highly unlikely.

The recommendations of the KHMP will be addressed with the ultimate development of the
land.

Specific Design Requirements

17. In accordance with the relevant development codes, please provide the following
    amendments to the design:

       a) As per Specific Outcome O29 of the Business Uses Code, please locate public toilets
          in a high traffic area, so as to take advantage of informal surveillance.
       b) Onsite bicycle parking and end of trip facilities are provided as per the minimum
          requirements set out in Probable Solution S31 of the Business uses Code.
       c) As per Specific Outcome O13 of the Driveways and Carparking Code, please
          provide for a clearly defined internal pedestrian network, which ensures pedestrian
          movement are along aisles rather than across car parking areas.

The proposal plans provide for public toilets in a location expected with scale of development
proposed. The toilets are located beside the access corridor between the proposed
supermarket and the first tenancy. The access corridor is also to provide access from the
proposed residential development on the remainder of the land through the subject site. It is
suggested that the public toilets are well located in terms of providing access for patrons on
and off the site and for informal surveillance.

The revised proposal plans (Attachment 3) show end of trip facilities provided within the
disabled toilet for use by staff. Onsite bicycle parking is provided with a bike rack located in
the access corridor against the supermarket wall. Provision is to be made for eighteen (18)
spaces.

The internal pedestrian access in the proposed carpark has been considered to be addressed
as best as possible, given the nature of the use and constraints of the land, in particular the
width of the site. The traffic expert has advised that pedestrian access within the internal car
park layout is satisfactory.

Staff parking is located near the service area and away from the main parking area. Pedestrian
access is provided a short distance from all car parks to the main pedestrian link near the
access to the Unnamed Road and also to the footpath area to the north of the service access
area near the David Low Way frontage.
