6           Service Vehicle Arrangements
6.1         Council’s Requirement
To assess the required number of service bays for the development, TTM has referred to the Council
requirements for service vehicles. Clause 2 (b) of Section 9.4.1.2 of Driveways and Parking Code within
Council’s Planning Scheme states:

          “Adequate provision is made for the standing, parking, loading and unloading, access and
          manoeuvring of service vehicles within the development site.”

The proposed development proposes a loading area accessible via Serenity Close.

6.2         Proposed Service Vehicle Arrangements and Their Adequacy
The main loading area, located on the Basement level has a total of three (3) loading bays, suitable to cater
for the vehicles such as 10.7m Large Rigid Vehicle (LRV), 8.8m Medium Rigid Vehicle (MRV), 6.4m Small Rigid
Vehicle (SRV). The vehicles will enter the site in a forward gear, accessing the loading bay and perform a
single reverse manoeuvre and exit the site in a forward gear once the refuse/servicing has been performed.

For small deliveries, 3 VAN bays are provided on the Lower Ground Floor carpark in close proximity to the
service/maintenance lift in the eastern corner.

TTM Dwg 22BRT0122-SK02 within Appendix C illustrates the manoeuvring of service vehicles to/from the
main loading dock (all movements allow a minimum 500mm clearance). TTM have also conducted ground
clearance checks for all service vehicles.

The height clearance of 4.5m is maintained in the main loading area allowing full utilisation of the service
vehicle area for standing and manoeuvring.

The proposed service vehicle provisions, including the number of service vehicle bays and the associated
design, are considered adequate for the proposed development and compliant with AS 2890.2-2002 Parking
Facilities Part 2 Off-street commercial design.


  Information Request (2nd December 2022) – Item 23a) iii.

  TTM have conducted ground clearance checks for service vehicles entering/ exiting the site in forward gear.

  Information Request (16th March 2023) – Item 7

  The proposed plans have been updated to meet council height clearance requirements of 4.5m. The height clearance
  floor to floor is more than adequate, with a level difference of 6.55m provided.
