Our Response
Council comments have been taken into consideration where the development provides for a number
of changes to address Council’s concerns relating to the proposed pedestrian access arrangements.
To assist in preparing the response, SLR has met and consulted with Stuart Holland on the proposed
changes to ensure the outcome proposed satisfies Council’s concerns and one that still achieves a
compliant design.

A response to each item raised is provided below:

   i.   A 1.2m pathway has been provided in between carparks 17 and 19 that then flows into a path
        abutting the office and meeting room on the western side of the building. The inclusion of
        these paths allows for a safe connection directly into the front of the reception and
        discourages visitors to walk within the parking aisle where unnecessary. The addition of
        these changes does require some minor modifications to the carpark layout as follows:
             Service bay rotated and provided at a width of 3.5m reduced from 4.09m. This still
               achieving a compliant outcome with AS2890.2:2018 which prescribes a minimum
               width of 3.5m.
             Turning location (carpark 1) provided at a width of 3.5m, reduced from 3.8m. This
               outcome supported by SLR, where it has been confirmed that manoeuvrability can
               sufficiently occur (refer Attachment A- SK02).
   ii.  The addition of the path in the middle of car parks 17 and 19 will allow for a more safe and
        convenient route for visitors who park on the western side to access the entrance of the
        Childcare as discourage a less convenient route.
  iii.  A 1.2m path has been incorporated into the design along the eastern side of the access
        driveway that connects the existing external path on Hofmann Drive into the internal
        pedestrian network. The addition of this path provides for the minor changes to design as
        follows:
             Driveway entry width has been narrowed from 6.55 to 6.20m. This still achieving a
               compliant outcome with (AS2890.2:2018- table 3.1).
             Minor adjustment in the driveway location being moved 600mm west, with the width
               of 6.2m being maintained.
             Movement of the bio-retention basin west 600mm to account for the driveway
               adjustment.
We confirm that the minimum 10% landscaping and the provision of bicycle parking is able to be
accommodate in conjunction with the proposed changes to the carpark and pedestrian access layout
described above, please see attached updated Architectural Plans (Attachment B).

Conclusion
We kindly seek that Council assess the material submitted and proceed the application to decision.
Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to me.

Yours sincerely,
