                                       Cooroy & Hinterland Local Plan Code (7.2.5):
                                        Requires development to maintain the existing character, scale, and
                                       streetscape qualities of the locality.




                         3. Access Limitations and Traffic Safety Risks on Dianella Court

                         Dianella Court was designed as a quiet residential street intended to accommodate
                         a small number of households. Adding vehicle movements from potentially 30–40
                         additional cars—plus visitors, trades, support staff, and service vehicles—would
                         create traffic levels beyond the street’s design capability.

                         The applicant’s engineering report (Section 3.1) states that “there are no permanent
                         sight obstructions for vehicles exiting the driveway, nor the new subdivision road
                         intersection with existing Dianella Court (to the north east of the site). Therefore no
                         sight distances issues are present.” However, this assessment is incomplete, as it
                         does not address sight distances to the south.

                         Sight lines to the south along Dianella Court are severely restricted by the existing
                         dwelling at 2 Dianella Court, creating a dangerous blind zone for vehicles exiting
                         the proposed development road. This will significantly increase the safety risk for
                         current residents attempting to leave their homes, as approaching vehicles may not
                         be visible in time to avoid collisions.
