Council’s Issue

Further details/plans are required to demonstrate compliance with Conditions 41, 42 and 43 of the Higher
Order Approval 51901.4274.02 dated 19 May 2020. These conditions state the following:

        Car Parking

  41.   Five car parking spaces must be provided and marked on the site and made available and
        accessible at all times. The works must be undertaken in accordance with an Operational Works
        approval and be generally in accordance with drawing number A.200 Revision F prepared by Zest
        Design. The access and carparking area must be modified to provide sufficient area for vehicles to
        enter the site and access each space in a forward gear, manoeuvre on site and exit the site in a
        forward gear in a total of 3 movements. The on-site manoeuvring area must:

        a.      be for a B99 vehicle as described in AS/NZS2890.1:2004;

        b.      assume that each other space is occupied, and

        c.      include crossfalls and gradients in accordance with Australian Standard AS2890.1:2004
                Parking Facilities

 42.    All vehicles must enter and exit the site in a forward gear.

  43.   Plans demonstrating the required on-site manoeuvring area and vehicle paths must be included
        in the application for operational works.


Information Required by Council

2. Provide information to address the requirements of the above conditions.


Applicant’s Response

The plans approved with the negotiated decision notice dated 19 May 2020 show the 5 spaces required by
condition 41.   Swept paths have been calculated over each of the 5 spaces and are shown in the Hayes
Traffic Engineering plans at Attachment 2.

The swept path diagrams indicate that, while many drivers can improve the turning manoeuvre generated by
the template, some adjustment of the length of the fence to the north of the driveway may be warranted to
provide a clearer and safer turning circle. Figure 2 shows the proposed alteration to the fence to ensure that
any potential conflict with vehicles is removed.

The splay at the kerb is also not shown on the plans as this was left off the architectural masterplan which
became the approved plans for the higher order approval. These two aspects have been annotated on the
plans and the applicant is happy to accept an appropriate condition to have these plans amended to reflect
the noted alterations to the plans.
