Town Planning Assessment Report

Landscaping Code

   The proposed development complies with the Performance/Acceptable Outcomes of the Landscaping
   Code in that:
    - more than 10% of the site area will comprise of soft landscaping; and
    - it will create a quality landscaped space for patrons to enjoy in an outdoor setting.




Driveways and Parking Code
The proposal involves seeking a retrospective approval to formalise the use of areas within the site that
have historically been used for food and drink outlet purposes. The use areas relate to a small bar/kitchen
building and outdoor dining area located centrally and to the rear of the site.

Table 9.4.1.4 of the driveways and carparking seeks a minimum parking requirement as follows:
    + one space per 20m² of use area and outdoor business area, excluding kitchen and food storage
         areas;

Excluding the kitchen and food storage area, the proposal areas would involve a total use area of 85.8m2,
which would equate to 4.29 car parking spaces. However, renovations have also occurred within the within
the tenancy fronting Memorial Avenue which have increased the kitchen and food store areas by 42m2 as
illustrated in Figure 9 below. These areas were previously dining areas. Consequently, these areas can be
deducted from the total use area to be considered for carparking purposes, leaving a total use area of
43.8m2 (2.19 car parking spaces).




Given the circumstances of the site, with a historical character building occupying the frontage, parking is
not capable of being provided within the site. While not achieving the acceptable outcomes of the code, it is
considered that the proposal complies with the Performance Outcome PO6 and the overall outcomes of the
code for the following reasons:
