                                                PO7:
                                                 Access points must maintain adequate sight distances and avoid
                                                safety hazards.

                                       Schedule 6 – Planning Scheme Policy: Traffic:
                                        Incorporates Austroads visibility and intersection-safety standards. The
                                       location of the proposed access point raises further concerns regarding
                                       visibility and safe manoeuvring, especially near the intersection, where
                                       sight lines are already limited.




                         4. Insufficient Proximity to Essential Daily Services

                         The application suggests convenient access to essential services, but this is not
                         reflected in reality. The nearest full-line grocery stores require a significant walk that
                         involves crossing multiple roads, navigating a steep pedestrian bridge, and carrying
                         groceries over more than 1.6 km each way. Public transport access is also limited,
                         with the nearest bus stop located well beyond commonly accepted walkable
                         distances. For a development aimed at vulnerable or low-mobility residents, this
                         presents a major functional and social disadvantage.

                                                where services are readily accessible.
