                       a) the privacy of residents on the subject property or adjoining properties;
                       b)…
                 Under the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code, Performance outcome PO6, states:
                 Where dwellings form part of a mixed use development, the development provides residents
                 with reasonable privacy and security.
                 Specifically, under acceptable outcome AO6.2, states:
                 Clearly marked, safe and secure parking areas are provided for residents and visitors which
                 are separate from parking areas provided for other site users.
                 Within the High Density Residential Precinct, overall outcome states:
                 The High Density Residential Precinct develops into a modern sub-tropically designed
                 neighbourhood with a high level of amenity, privacy and landscaped open spaces for
                 residents.
                 The development application provides for Multiple dwellings and Short-term accommodation
                 over the proposed 96 units. While both of these uses are expected within the VMU Precinct
                 (5D) the visitor accommodation component is not consistent within the High Density
                 Residential Precinct (5E).
                 The application material does not explain how these two uses are to operate in conjunction
                 with each other, within a mixed use built form. The proposed development does not articulate
                 whether some or all of the units will be used for visitor accommodation and permanent
                 residential living and if it is intended that these uses will occur concurrently in the same units.
                 While it is accepted that these uses are both of a residential nature, they are not necessarily
                 compatible where located within the same mixed use building and or side by side.
                 Consequently, further information is required to explain how these uses are to operate within
                 the same 96 units.
                 While the proposal provides some detail about the size of the units, number of bedrooms and
                 the amount of private open space, no kitchens are shown on the proposal plans, and it is
                 assumed that all of the dwellings will be self-contained, including laundry and common room,
                 facilities.
                 The proposal plans do not show where it is intended to provide resident and visitor parking
                 within Lots 3 & 7, and it is not explained how this is work in practicality.
                 With respect to the residential component, the proposed development does not provide any
                 landscaped open space for residents.
                 It is also noted that the proposed retail development extends into the High Density Residential
                 Precinct (5E), with about 1,090m² of retail proposed at ground level.
                 Information Required:
                 22.     Provide an assessment against the Visitor Accommodation Code.
                 23.     Provide amended proposal plans showing the location of the parking for both the
                         multiple dwelling, short-term accommodation and visitor parking that is separate from
                         the commercial, business and entertainment uses on the site.
                 24.     Provide further information demonstrating that it is appropriate for the proposed short-
                         term accommodation and other retail uses (shop, shopping centre & food and drink
                         outlet) to be provided within the High Density Residential Precinct (5E), in circumstances
                         where none of the above uses are consistent under Table 5.5.5.7.
                 25.     Provide amended plans showing the proposed kitchen, laundry and any common room
                         facilities within the proposed units.
