Planning Report

      f) enhances privacy between dwelling units and accommodation units;
      g) accommodates the outdoor recreation needs of dwelling occupants; and
      h) provides adequate vegetation treatment to steep slopes and unstable landforms.

Comment: The proposal achieves compliance with the Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions of
the Landscaping Code as follows:-
     The Landscaping Code requires a Duplex in the Attached Housing Zone to have a minimum
      landscaped area of the proposed population in persons multiplied by 30m2, provided that a
      minimum of 60% of this is soft landscaping. The proposed population in persons of 6.6 x 30m 2 is
      198m2, with 60% of this being 118.8m2. The proposal complies with this requirement achieving
      387m2 of the site as landscaped area.
     Ground floor communal open space and above ground private open space is proposed which will
      accommodate the recreational needs of residents.

Please refer to the accompanying Proposal Plans by Kidd & Co Designers which details the proposed
landscaping. Further details of landscaping will be provided as part of a subsequent operational works
application.

ENGINEERING WORKS CODES

DRIVEWAYS AND CARPARKING CODE
A summary of the proposed development’s compliance with the purpose of the Driveways and
Carparking Code is included below.

The purpose of this code is to ensure:
   a) Safe and reasonable access to and from vehicle accommodation and standing areas within a
       property and from the public road is provided;
   b) The safety of pedestrians and cyclists is protected;
   c) Development reduces the reliance on private vehicles and promotes public and non-motorised
       transport options;
   d) Carparking spaces and the associated manoeuvring areas provided are designed to be safe
       and functional and meet the reasonable requirements of the particular land use;
   e) Adequate provision is made for the standing, parking, loading and unloading, access and
       manoeuvring of service vehicles within the development site;
   f) Development does not adversely impact on existing public parking;
   g) Adequate monetary contributions are made in circumstances where Council considers the
       provision of external parking will fulfill the parking demand generated by the development and
       will not have an adverse impact on existing public parking; and
   h) Vehicular access does not impact adversely upon existing landscaping or native vegetation.

Comment: The proposal achieves compliance with the Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions of
the Driveways and Carparking Code as follows:-

     The access arrangements proposed are safe and efficient. The development will not lead to any
      adverse safety or road condition impacts in the locality. Refer attached Traffic engineering advice
      form RoadPro Development.
     Car parking requirements as outlined the Code have been achieved.
