The access easement currently exists. It provides appropriate access from Banksia
Avenue into the subject site. The access from Banksia Avenue is restricted to left-in and
right-out movements only and there is clear visibility to the roundabout with Grant Street,
The number of vehicles using the access is significantly low. As discussed previously,
the peak hour traffic generated from this site is expected to be 3 vehicles. Given the
proposed residential use for this development and the traffic generation, it is unlikely that
two vehicles will be accessing the easement at any one time. Clause 3.2.2 of
AS2890.1:2004 states;

“As a guide, 30 or more movements in a peak hour (in and out

combined) would usually require provision for two vehicles to pass on

the driveway, i.e. a minimum width of 5.5m. On long driveways,

passing opportunities should be provided at least every 30m.”

*

All vehicles accessing the four lower units will enter and exit the access onto Banksia
Avenue in a forward direction. There is good sight visibility along the easement.
Consideration should be given to providing appropriate landscaping between the
proposed 4 lots and the easement, to ensure reverse manoeuvres from garages are clearly
visible.

Should you require further information regarding the above issues, please contact me at
the details provided above.

Yours faithfully
