               b) The safety af pedestrians and cyclists is pratected
               c) Development reduces the reliance an private vehicles and promotes public and non-
               motorised transport aptians;
              f) Develapment daes not adversely impact an existing public parking

78.   The DA does not achieve the above overall outcomes based on the following:


      (a)     A significant    proportion    of pedestrians and cyclists will be GSLC students and
              young families. A driveway being utilised by cars and heavy vehicles, particularly
               at peak hours when students              are entering     or exiting the school, poses an
              increased risk to their safety.


      (b)      More private vehicles are likely to enter the site for commercial                 purposes (re-
              fuelling and retail reasons). Also, the DA is more likely to dissuade pedestrians
              and cyclists from commuting             to school due to the increased local vehicular
              traffic and associated safety risks.


      (c)     Currently the site is utilised by scores of vehicles to park, particularly              at school
              drop-off     and pick-up      times.    These excess vehicles will         be highly likely to
              contribute    to further   local congestion at the Goodchap Street roundabout                   as
              outlined above, whilst some vehicles may use the service station grounds as an
              ad-hoc drop-off      or pick-up point for students,            which is also an undesirable
              outcome.



            Specific outcomes - Driveways and Carparking Code

79.   The DA does not achieve the specific outcomes relating to Driveways and Carparking
      & Manoeuvring for the Driveways and Carparking Code (section 14.112), as set out in
      the Tables below.
