    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 fulfil 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.

Compliance
The car parking requirements in the Code for Driveway and Car Parking does not provide a
parking requirement for an ‘Infrastructure Use’. However, the points below demonstrate a
general compliance with the intent of the code:
   • The proposed facility will be accessed via an existing access point off Schreibers Road
         and an internal access track (approximately 1.25 km long).
   • This access track is considered to provide safe and convenient access to meet the
         needs of the maintenance vehicles which will infrequently access the site;
   • Adequate provision has been allocated for service vehicles to access the site and park
         whilst undertaking maintenance works;
   • The proposed development will not increase the number of people living or working
         in the area and does not require the provision of any formal parking; and
   • The site access is considered to be appropriate given the NBN Co facility will not be a
         significant generator of traffic and is not anticipated to adversely impact on the
         surrounding road network or residential amenity.
For these reasons, the development is considered to comply with the Driveways and Car
parking Code.
