     As per the comments above, conversion factors of 1 person per bed and 1.5 persons per 2-
     bedroom unit should be applied to the proposed development.


     There is no apparent justification within the policies to support demand factors that are
     almost double probable occupancy rates within the retirement village.


     Pathway Trunk Network Contributions

     The schedule of occupancy rates in Table 5 show a level of occupancy of 1 person per bed
     for an aged persons home and 1.5 persons per 2-bedroom unit.


     Whereas the rate per unit is in line with probable occupancy rates the application of the
     policy to residents in a nursing home is misplaced. Residents within a nursing home are
     highly unlikely to make use of or derive benefit from the pathway trunk network.


     The charge should be removed from nursing homes or if some charge is deemed to be
     applicable then it should be heavily discounted.
