GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                 15 JANUARY 2018


Car parking and vehicle movements
The site has 5 sealed car parks on site, located in front of the restaurant/cafe on the Kingsgate
Drive frontage.
The dining component of the use attracts a car parking rate of 1 space per 20m 2. The proposed
use area (for dining) is 99m2, requiring 5 car parks. In addition to patrons, on any one night there
are between 2 - 3 staff members on site. The use also has a takeaway and delivery component.
Currently the applicant advises the business sells 180 pizzas per week, equating to
approximately 65 orders over 5 days in operation. Therefore, on average 11 takeaway/delivery
orders are received on any one of the 5 days in operation. Friday and Saturdays are the busiest
where sometimes around 14 pizzas are taken away or delivered. Car parking requirements need
to consider this scenario.
In total, the applicant proposes to construct an additional 4 car spaces on site adjacent to the
existing 5 car spaces accessed from Kingsgate Drive. A condition for the construction of a
complying access driveway will also be required.
It is worth noting that other options for car parking were investigated during the assessment
process with the applicant, including car parking off Sunrise Road at the rear of the property.
There appears to be sufficient space to provide the parking at the rear of the site but safe access
and egress (complying with AS/NZS2890.1:2004) could not be demonstrated without significant
vegetation clearing and roadworks within the road reserve. This option did not proceed.
External Works
Currently, an area of road reserve on the site’s frontage to Kingsgate Drive is currently utilised for
car parking. Kingsgate Drive is also utilised as an overflow for car parking during busy periods.
The existing informal carparking area adjacent to the Kingsgate Drive frontage is not acceptable
as it does not have a suitable surface, is impacting on adjoining resident’s amenity and requires
vehicles parking in that location to reverse on to Kingsgate Drive.
Works are required in Kingsgate Drive to reinstate the frontage of the site, which has been highly
modified by the applicant without approval. The required works include the removal of the
informal carparking access and area, reinstatement of the table drains, landscaping of the verge
area and the construction of a vehicle crossover that complies with Council’s standard drawing
RS-056.
Removing car parking from the gravel road reserve areas on Kingsgate Drive will greatly assist in
addressing noise impacts and improve stormwater conveyance.
