Minor Change Application (MCA) that Stockwell intends to lodge to formalise the amendments.


2          Revised Site Layout

To facilitate the desired introduction of an Icon Cancer Treatment Centre, modifications to the currently
approved development are necessary so that a radiation treatment facility can be accommodated within the
Basement 2 level.

The facility is proposed to be located at the north-western corner of Basement 2, where previously tandem
parking was required to be provided by way of Condition 4 and Condition 43 of the approval. The treatment
facility will consist of approximately 1.1m thick concrete walls to prevent radiation leakage.

To enable establishment of the treatment facility, Stockwell are seeking to remove the Condition 40 requirement
to provide tandem parking spaces within the basement. In addition, changes to Condition 43 describing the
conditioned quantum of parking are also necessary.

In summary, to facilitate introduction of the cancer treatment centre, the following revised parking
characteristics are proposed:
          Car parking = 96 spaces (inclusive of PWD and short-stay);
          Motorcycle parking = 10 spaces (in Basement levels only);
          Bicycle parking = 16 spaces (at-grade);
          SRV loading bay = 1 space at-grade;
          Ambulance bay = 1 space at-grade;
          PWD parking = 2 spaces at-grade;
          Short-stay parking = 5 spaces at-grade.

It is noted that even with the introduction of the radiation treatment facility in the basement level of the
development, the proposed total GFA of 2,170m2 remains the same. The latest development plans are provided
at Attachment A for reference.

2.1        Short-stay Parking Provisions

An important component to the revised site layout is the increase in the provision of short-stay parking to 5
spaces, located at-grade (being all of the available at grade car parking available). This particular change is the
result of Icon formalising a long term leasing commitment to the Medihub facility. The short-stay parking
arrangements are supportive of the patient care requirements, particularly for the benefit of those who will be
receiving radiation treatment and chemotherapy. These patients need the ability to be transported to/from the
facility by a family member, friend or carer during their cancer treatment sessions and these short-stay spaces
allow for this to occur. Given the duration of treatment and recovery sessions (between 2 and 5 hours on
average), it is expected the majority of family members, friends or carers transporting patients will not remain
on-site, but rather return at the end of the patient’s session.

Relevantly, the conversion of all of the at-grade spaces to short-stay parking coupled with the more typically
drop and go nature of cancer patient transport, will result in a reduction to the overall parking demands of the
building, as transporting vehicles are typically not remaining onsite.
