THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT
Resident Parking
The current resident parking provisions are as follow:

¢ all but one of the villas in question have two undercover parking spaces, the exception being villa 3108,
which has a single car garage; and

e all the penthouses in question have two undercover tandem parking spaces, with one exception, being
penthouse 9417 which has only one undercover parking space.

That is, 2 of the 38 units do not have the requisite second resident parking space.

It is highly implausible that permanent residents of either of those two dwellings would park a second vehicle off
site, in either Morwong Drive, Hastings Street, or Viewland Drive. If permanent residents of either of those two
dwellings owned a second vehicle, such a vehicle would inevitably be parked elsewhere within the site.

| also understand that parking of such a second vehicle in a visitor parking space, the only legitimate concern
for Council, could be effectively prevented by enforcement of the requirement that visitor parking spaces be
available for genuine visitors to the site by one or more of the following steps:

e acondition of the approval could be included which states “no visitor parking space is to be occupied
on a permanent parking basis, being longer than 12 hours” (or similar);

® acondition of the approval could require the car parking management plan to be amended to
incorporate the same provision; and

e acondition of the approval could require the CMS to be amended to include the same provision.

| am assured that these conditions would be enforceable as reasonable and relevant conditions of approval. As
such, Council would also be able to enforce these conditions under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.

1am informed the applicant would accept their inclusion in the conditions of approval, CMS and car parking
management plan.

Finally, | am also advised the overall development will be an actively managed resort environment where such
enforcement is commonplace.

Accordingly, in the unlikely event (according to the KPMG assessment) that one or both of the two dwellings in
question were in fact used by persons residing permanently on the site, they could be precluded from parking
any second vehicle they owned in designated visitor parking spaces.

Parking for Visitors

The planning scheme parking requirement for visitors to the 38 units in question is as follows:

e if used for visitor accommodation: 4 visitor parking spaces
e if used for permanent accommodation: 10 visitor parking spaces

It is assumed the 4 visitor parking spaces required if the 38 units are all used for visitor accommodation are
actually available on the site, and assumed to be so available by Council.

Anyone visiting any of the villas in question by car were inevitably park in front of the garage associated with

that villa, or immediately adjacent to it, and hence occupy a parking space not formally recognized or included
in the current assessment of on-site parking provisions.
