Development Application part 2 Report and Plans MCU13/0052

             e) enables the establishment of appropriate plantings that are of a scale and density
                commensurate with building height, bulk and scale to buffer development and
                conflicting land uses;
             f) enhances privacy between dwelling units and accommodation units;
             g) accommodates the outdoor recreation needs of dwelling occupants; and\
             h) provides adequate vegetation treatment to steep slopes and unstable landforms.


        Compliance

        The current development does not propose the establishment of additional landscaping.
        Although    the   subject site predominately    contains     pines   trees for timber   harvesting,
        corridors and areas of existing mature remnant and regrowth vegetation existing around
        the proposed facility which are unlikely to be removed. The proposed facility in an area
        which is bordered    by this existing mature vegetation will help reduce visual dominance.
        Additionally, the facility only requires a small footprint area (70m2)and does not require
i   ’
        the removal of vegetation. Additional landscaping to screen the facility is not considered
        necessary.



        Therefore, the proposal is considered to have a minimal impact on the natural landscape
        or built environment as the existing mature vegetation will be maintained and will act as a

        buffer.


        7.2.5 Driveways and Carparking Code

        The Code for    Driveways and Carparking is required to be assessed as part of this
        application. The Overall Outcomes of this code are:

             a) Safe and reasonable access to and from vehicle accommodation and standing
                areas within a property and from the public road is provided;

             b) The safety ofpedestrians and cyclists is protected;
             c) Development reduces the reliance on private vehicles and promotes public and
                nonmotorised transport options;
             d) Carparking spaces and the associated manoeuvring areas provided are designed
                to be safe and functional and meet the reasonable requirements of the particular
                  land use;
             e) Adequate provision is made for the standing, parking, loading and unloading,
                access and manoeuvring of service vehicles within the development site;

             f) Development does not adversely impact on existing public parking;
             g) Adequate monetary contributions are made in circumstances where Council
                considers the provision of external parking will fulfill the parking demand generated
                by the development and will not have an adverse impact on existing public parking;
                  and
             h)   Vehicular access does not impact adversely upon existing landscaping or native
                  vegetation. Settling

        Compliance
    \


I       The car parking requirements in the Code for Driveways and Carparking does not provide
        a   parking requirement for an ’Infrastructure Use’. However, the points below demonstrate
        a   general compliance with the intent of the code:

             .    Access to the     property is currently provided    via the   existing crossover on the
                  northern property boundary and via Lake Flat Road.
