     ●​ Driveways and Parking Code.

4.2 Planning Scheme Non-Compliances

PO1/AO1.2 of the Driveways and Parking Code

PO1 Vehicular access does not adversely impact on:

      (a) ​ safety, capacity and operations of the existing or planned road network, cycleways or
            pedestrian pathway systems; and
      (b) ​ the existing character and amenity of the streetscape

AO1.2 of the Driveways and Parking Code states:

AO1.2 Only one driveway crossover is provided.

Editor’s Note— Justification for additional driveways may need to be supported by a detailed Traffic Study.

Response: The proposal contains two existing, lawful driveways to Lawnville Road. The proposal seeks
to include an additional crossover to Evans Road in the south-east (opposite) portion of the property. This
driveway is not intended to be used as a regular, high-frequency site access point, and will not
significantly impact or compromise the existing traffic network and its operational efficiency. Rather, as
outlined in section 3.0 of this report, the alternate driveway location is proposed for critical land
management and evacuation purposes. The proposed driveway is intended to be a standard RS-056
driveway, and will complement the existing character and amenity of the surrounding character and
streetscape. The proposal is considered to be compliant with PO1.
