suitable parking areas. If a single driveway crossover is required, it is understood there would be an increase
in the potential for ground movement and expose surrounding properties to unnecessary risk. A review of the
local area has determined that the following sites provide 2 or more driveways:

 •   4 Adams Street, Sunshine Beach;

 •   70 Pacific Avenue, Sunshine Beach; and

 •   56 Elanda Street, Sunshine Beach.

Furthermore, several properties on Ferguson Street and Douglas Street have narrow frontages, down to 7.5m
wide. This averages out to 13.3 driveways per 100m on some sections of these roads.

The provision of 2 driveways is considered suitable as:

     •   It is consistent with other dwellings, duplexes and triplexes in the local area;

     •   The resultant average of 13.5 driveways per 100m (over the 14.8m site frontage) is generally
         consistent with other streets in Sunshine Beach;

     •   The driveways have compliant sight distances and separation to intersections. As such, an additional
         driveway is unlikely to impact road user safety;

     •   Park Crescent, at the site frontage, acts as a cul-de-sac and, as such, limited traffic movements will
         occur along the site frontage;

     •   TTM understand there is limited potential for redevelopment of other lots along Park Crescent, and
         as such future traffic growth along the site frontage would be negligible; and

     •   A single driveway crossover has undesirable structural, aesthetic and economic implications for the
         project with limited benefit.

Design Type/Driveway widths

The IPWEAQ drawing RS-049 identifies a duplex with a frontage less than 20m is required to have a single
duplex type driveway. The development proposal includes two driveways which are designed to replicate the
driveway shape required in this standard driveway design as far as practicable. As noted above, the provision
of two driveways is considered suitable for the subject site.

Vehicle turn paths have been used to develop the width of driveways at the property boundaries and along
the kerbs. This results in the driveways being wider than the maximum width in the IPWEAQ drawing RS-049.
The garage wall between the respective garage and open spaces impacts the widths of driveways. The Park
Crescent carriageway is approximately 5.5m wide at the site frontage, which also contributes to the wider
driveways. The driveways have been reduced in scale as far as practicable to allow suitable vehicle access from
