The proposal also does meet Acceptable Outcome AO18.1 which states

 Performance Outcome                                                     Acceptable Outcomes
 Site cover, gross floor area and building bulk                          AO18.1
 PO18                                                                    Individual buildings do not exceed a gross floor area of
 Buildings and other structures:                                         1,000m².

     a)   are fit for purpose and respect the scale of                   AO18.2
          surrounding development;                                       The maximum length of wall in one plane is 30 metres.
     b)   do not present an appearance of bulk to
          adjacent properties, roads or other areas in the               AO18.3
          vicinity of the site;                                          No more than 50% of the site is covered by buildings or
     c)   maintains natural site characteristics where
          possible, including native vegetation and natural
          landforms;
     d)   allows for adequate area at ground level for
          landscaping and site facilities; and facilitates
          onsite stormwater management and
          vehicular access.

The existing Kauri Lodge building currently has an approximate gross floor area over 1000m2 with
the new building increasing this area through the provision of a new lower ground floor level. The
new building therefore effectively replaces the existing building whilst increasing the gross floor area
by 1044m2.

The proposal is considered to comply with the Performance outcome as the building has been
custom designed for aged care with the new floor level located internal to the site and underneath
the existing ground floor level. The proposal presents a single storied building to Topaz Street whilst
maintaining the existing character and services for the site.


5.1.3 Special Residential Code

The proposal has been reviewed against the provisions of the Special Residential Code and is
considered to comply with the outcomes.


5.1.4 Works Codes

The proposal has been reviewed against the relevant works codes and separate applications for
Operational works will be submitted following approval for engineering works and landscaping.

The proposal has been reviewed against the carparking code which requires:

   a) one space per four residential care beds; and
   b) one space for an emergency vehicle

Based on planning scheme requirement a total of 24 beds are required for the 96 residential care
beds. The proposal complies with scheme requirements and provides 37 carparking spaces on site.


5.1.5 Overlays

The proposed changes do not raise any issues with reference to the mapped overlays over the site.
