Information Response

   ●   If required by Council, an additional driveway could be conditioned to allow a dedicated
       parking bay for the secondary dwelling (note we don’t believe this is reasonably required
       for a 4-bedroom house being run at a home hosted bed and breakfast).

Further to the above performance parking solution, in accordance with AO6.2 of the Driveways
and Parking Code, where appropriate, motorcycle spaces can be provided on site in lieu of
required car parking spaces at the following rates:

   ●   2 motorcycle spaces provided for 0.5 car parking space; or
   ●   4 motorcycles spaces provided per 1 car parking space; and
   ●   up to a maximum of 4 car parking spaces.

The proposal can also accommodate this as an alternative option to supplement overall parking.

In summary, the 1 bedroom secondary dwelling has a dedicated covered park, the 1 bedroom
primary dwelling has a dedicated covered park, and the two home hosted accommodation
rooms have 1 outdoor park with provision for an additional bay in tandem if required + two
motorcycle motorcycle parks are also proposed to supplement the overall parking provision.

In addition, Council has the option to condition an additional driveway and dedicated parking for
the secondary dwelling if considered necessary.

To put the parking provision into context, the 4 bedroom house achieves 3-4 car parks + 2
motorcycle parks. Whereas a 6 bedroom duplex only requires 3 parks and a 6 bedroom triplex
only requires 4 car parks. Further to this, a 4 bedroom short term accommodation house only
requires 2 car parks. The proposed car parking is considered sufficient to satisfy the
development under a performance solution and if further parking is required Council can
condition additional driveway works and a dedicated park for the secondary dwelling.

Item 2

Provide swept path plans demonstrating how vehicles will enter, access the parking
and then exit the site. Please note the vehicle paths must assume that the other
spaces are occupied.

Item 3

Sight lines and potential for conflict for vehicles entering and exiting the site noting
that an existing retaining wall and steep slope of the driveway are likely to impede
sight lines for vehicles entering and exiting the site.

Response: The site is currently functioning now for residential purposes both short and long
term. The site is allowed to be used now as of right for short-term accommodation in an
existing building which is the applicant’s principal place of residence, for no more than 4
occurrences in a calendar year, and for a total of no more than 60 nights in any calendar year.
Providing swept paths is considered onerous in this instance and the house has been
successfully operating as both short and long term accommodation for over 12 months with no
change to the number of bedrooms proposed.
