         The development is therefore expected to generate 3 trips during the peak hour
         and 30 trips daily.

         Section 3 of Australian Standard AS2890.1 for off-street parking facilities
         provides access width requirements for off-street parking facilities. Gympie
         Terrace is classified as a district collector and therefore the proposed
         development is classified as a Category 1 parking facility. As per Clause 3.2.2,
         for low volume Category 1 access driveways where the frontage road is not an
         arterial or sub-arterial, access widths can be less than 5.5m. Provision for
         overtaking is generally not required for access driveways less than 30m in
         length and with less than 30 vehicle movements per hour.

         The proposed development will generate approximately 3 vehicle trips during
         the peak hour. The driveway is less than 30m in length, allows good sight
         visibility with passing opportunities provided at the entry and at the garages.
         Provision for overtaking on the access driveway is therefore not required.
         Therefore the proposed development complies with the requirements of
         AS2890.1 for off-street parking facilities.

I trust this information assists with the Council’s concerns, however should further
information be required please do not hesitate to contact me.


Yours faithfully
