           2.0m wide footpath




            Figure 2: Extract of the revised Ground Floor Plan (DA_118) – frontage footpath detail



Driveway crossovers

Issue
The amended plans show the access crossovers have kerb edges and/or retaining walls within the road
grassed verge. This is not consistent with Council’s requirements and the applicable standard drawings;
and it has the potential to pose trip and fall hazards to the road’s users, and raises possibility for public
liability claims. The finish levels of the pavements for the driveway crossovers must match smoothly with
the existing finish levels of the road grassed verge and the proposed public pathway along the frontage of
the site.
Advice Required
7.    Amend plans such that all driveways match smoothly the surface levels of the grassed verge and the
      proposed public pathway (2.0m wide) without any significant changes to the existing finish levels of the
      road grassed verge, or creating a trip or fall hazards.


Response

Amended plans provided at Attachment A and Attachment D demonstrate that there are no kerb edges /
retaining walls within the road grassed verge that would create trip or fall hazards.
