3.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

The redevelopment of the site will result in frontage dining and retails tenancies, with 20 visitor
accommodation units located on the floors above. The site will have one vehicular access for
retail, staff and residents parking. It is proposed that this car park be fully accessible to the
public during business hours.

3.1 Site Use

The types and sizes of each use of the development are shown below in Table 3.1.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table 3.1 Proposed Site Usage
Proposed Usage Yield
Shops/Retail 476sq.m (use area)
Food & Beverage 253sq.m (use area)
Visitor Accommodation Units 20 Units
Office Space (associated with the units) 25sq.m (use area)

 

 

 

The proposed location and layout of these uses is shown at Appendix A.
3.2 Site Access

Vehicular access to the site will be by way of a new footpath crossover on Hastings Street. It
will be the only vehicular access and will be suitable for two-way car movements through to
the basement parking at the rear of the site. This will replace the existing crossover.

Sight distance between traffic on Hastings Street and the site access is restricted by the
presence of outdoor seating to the west of the access. However, it is considered that given
the low speed nature of Hastings Street, the presence of build-outs and on-street parking and
the impacts on general traffic by other property accesses, that this will not cause a safety
problem in this location.

‘An assessment of the width of the site access and opposing vehicular movements has been
undertaken using AutoTURN and this indicates that the site access allows for suitable two-way
entry and exit for car types B85 and B99. The results are shown at Appendix B.

At the proposed crossover the existing on-street parking bay needs to be removed. The sight
distance between vehicles entering/exiting the site and pedestrians on the footpath is within
the Australian Standards for off-street car parking, and shown at Appendix C.
