4.3 Basements and Access
The design includes two separate 4m wide openings to a basement, with a carparking layout and
traffic flow allowing for a one way in and out to Park Cres. The basements are setback more than
6m from the frontage and has been designed to minimise steep driveway gradients for car access
with stormwater falls to the northern access. The 81m frontage currently includes two existing
accesses and the proposal improves the traffic layout.

Although the Acceptable Outcomes seek for only one access and a basement limited to no more
than 6m wide opening, the basement is setback and visually integrated with the building. The large
landscaping along the 81m Park Cres frontage ensures the design does not dominate the street
and/or present as a separate storey to the street, consistent with the relevant Performance
Outcomes.


4.4 Setbacks
The design includes a partial encroachment into the 81m wide front setback to Park Cres along the
northern deck areas, as highlighted below.
