               Residential Care


     A hierarchy of internal roadways and pathways allow for vehicular and pedestrian
     movements through the site. The main circulation roadway will be bordered by a separate
     pedestrian pathway. The secondary roadways will allow for shared use.


     The principal access road with a 6 metre wide pavement will extend from the entry on
     Trading Post Road to the care facility and within the site is formed as a disjointed figure 8.


     All other internal roads will have a 5.5 metre wide pavement.


     The road geometry will be designed to strike a balance between the need to provide a
     maximum 20 km/hr design speed and the need to allow a refuse collection vehicle, furniture
     removal van and/or a fire tender to traverse the site.

     It is the practice of RSL Care to provide a bus service for the benefit of the residents within its
     retirement villages. The bus will collect residents from nominated collection points within the
     site and drop them off at agreed destination points. The frequency of the service and the
     destinations will be determined according to the majority needs of the residents.

4.7 Private and Communal Open Space

     The residents of the retirement village do not give rise to a need or warrant for public open
     space on the site.


     Within the site, communal open space areas have been located and will be landscaped to
     reflect the needs of the residents. A communal recreation facility will be provided within
     landscaped garden surrounds at the entry to the site. Elsewhere within the site, passive and
     active responses will be met through the pathway network and the interconnected nodal or
     gathering points.

     The landscape concept plans are included in Attachment 3.


     The proposal plans for the various unit types allow for private recreation spaces that lead off
     the main living areas of the dwelling units. The plans include covered terraces and in some
     instances extended front patio areas to maximise solar access.


     Greenspace areas between the backs of units are primarily intended to provide visual
     separation between the units by way of landscape features and planting, and where required,
     incorporate stormwater drainage.
