Response to Information Request

With respect to the matter of access and maneuvering on site, Attachment 4 provides vehicle
templates for a standard vehicle gaining access to the garages and entering and leaving the site in a
forward direction.
The templates are shown on a revised site plan and also take into consideration widening of the garage
doorways, by 300mm. The width of the driveway between the units has also been increased by about
500mm. Further, since the templates were provided, the nib wall behind units 8 & 9 has also be removed
from the Site Plan (refer Attachment 1A). The information provided demonstrates that the proposed
development meets the requirements of AS2890.
With respect to the matter of queuing on the driveway, please note that there is space available on the
driveway for one (1) vehicle, which does not overhang onto David Low Way. The traffic engineer has
advised (Attachment 4) that the impact on the flow of traffic along David Low Way, should be minimal
given that the traffic generated will be low. Consequently, if queuing was to occur it would be for a
short period, being less than 10 seconds, which is considered acceptable.
General
It should be noted that in accordance with section 293 of the SPA, a formal response was provided to
Energex about the information request made. A letter of approval was received from Energex on 14
March 2014, subject to conditions. Further, a letter of approval was received from the Department of
Environment and Heritage Protection (DEHP) on 17 March 2014, with respect to the management of
unexploded ordinance (UXO), but no conditions were imposed.
In accordance with section 278 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA), this letter concludes the
response to the information request made and it is requested that the assessment manager proceed
with the assessment of the application. Accordingly, it would be appreciated if details of the adjoining
owners could be provided so that public notification can commence.
Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me direct.


Yours faithfully
