Specific Outcomes
settlement or within reasonable vehicular
proximity;

d) the location of lots intended for urban
settlement within proximity of retail and
commercial facilities;

e) shared use of public facilities by adjoining
communities;

f) enhancement of personal safety and
minimisation of potential for crime, vandalism
and fear by maximising opportunities for
casual surveillance of public spaces; and

g) establishment of a sense of place.

SOs
services provided by Cooroy town centre.

 

O5 House site areas are—

a) located at least 50m from any land including
within a national park, conservation park,
state forest reserve, nature refuge,
coordinated conservation area or wilderness
area; and

b) not located on steep slopes.

All lots contain potential house sites in
excess of 50 metres from any reserve and
do not contain any steep slopes.

 

O6 Lots for residential development are designed
to ensure variety in residential streetscapes.

The proposed lots provide a variety of
shapes and sizes in the residential
development of Cooroy.

 

 

O7 The street network—

a) has design features, which convey the
primary function of each type of street and
encourage driver behaviour, speeds and
traffic volumes that are safe and appropriate
to that function;

b) provides a high level of internal accessibility
both within the site and to external sites and
appropriate external connections for vehicles,
pedestrian and cycle movements;

c) deters through-traffic from residential areas
and creates safe conditions for local road
users, pedestrians and cyclists;

d) incorporates street junctions and access to
lots that are located and spaced to facilitate
safe and convenient vehicle movements;

e) provides for street widths and lengths that
optimise the cost effectiveness of the network
and the provision of public utilities;

f) provides for road reserve widths not less than
the minimum identified Section 2.3 of PSP5
Engineering Design Standards — Roads,
Drainage and Earthworks;

g) minimises the extent of earthworks required
by being sympathetic to the terrain;

h) has no significant adverse effects on habitat
corridors or areas of significant native
vegetation;

i) does not create noise attenuation difficulties;
j) incorporates pedestrian and cyclist crossings
at intersections or where required to access
high activity nodes and public transport;

k) has regard to the potential for conflict
between vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists;

 

The proposed development is able to
utilise the existing road network without
compromising its carrying capacity.

The surrounding road network is designed
to allow for safe speeds and sightlines for
entering and exiting the proposed lots.

Pathways are provided for pedestrian
access between each of the roads that
are in the Erindale Estate. These
pathways link to important features such
as the active parkland, the bus stop on
Elm Street and several adjoining
properties.
