recreational facilities carparking and
landscaped area.

The existing sheds will be used for
maintenance and storage purposes and
administration will be conducted from the
existing residential dwelling.

 

Setbacks and density

018 Caravan, tent and cabin sites are located
to enable—

a) caravans to be easily manoeuvred onto or
removed from sites from internal roads; and
b) adequate separation between sites and
property boundaries to ensure visual and
acoustic privacy for occupants.

Figure 14-8—Setbacks, site area and frontage

The proposed development provides
accommodation spaces with a setback of
12m from the front boundary, 5m from all
other boundaries and over 3m from the
existing residential dwelling. Some
accommodation sites will be situated in
close proximity of 2m to the existing sheds
however these are non-habitable low-set
buildings that are used for storage of
equipment and infrequently accessed.

Each of the individual accommodation sites
will be provided with an area of 200m? which
is greater than the minimum requirement of
130m’. Each site will have a minimum
frontage of 10m and will be spaced with a
minimum distance of 1.5m between
adjoining accommodation sites.

 

Site layout

019 For caravan parks—

a) the entrance and exit is of sufficient width to
allow for 2 vehicles towing caravans to safely
pass one another;

b) a short term parking area is provided near
the office to allow for check-in and check-out;
and

c) the internal road layout and design caters
for all anticipated vehicle use enabling suitable
manoeuvrability and safety and avoiding
congestion;

AND
020 The office is located near the entrance to
the premises.

The proposed site entrance allows for two-
way traffic to concurrently pass.

A standing area and turning area is available
in front of the existing residential dwelling
that will be used as the administration
building.

Each of the proposed accommodation sites
has access to the internal road system and
is able to be easily accessed.

 

Parking and manoeuvring

021 Sufficient carparking, wash-down and
manoeuvring areas are provided to meet the
needs of residents, visitors and other users.

An appropriate parking and manoeuvring
area is provided on the western side of the
property.

 

Pedestrian access

022 Safe and effective pedestrian access is
provided to the office and any associated
shop, common toilets, ablutions, laundry
buildings and clothes drying areas.

The administration building is located at the
centre of the property in close proximity to
each site. The internal roads will be speed
limited in order to ensure pedestrian safety
and to reduce noise affects on other users
of the site.

 

Lighting

023 All internal caravan park roads and areas
of pedestrian activity have safe and practical
lighting, which is designed to minimise light
nuisance to individual sites and to other areas
within and outside the park.

A limited amount of lighting will be provided
over areas of the site that will be accessed
during night time.
