An assessment is also provided below demonstrating compliance with each of the most
relevant acceptable and performance outcomes.

Relevant assessment benchmarks:

    •   PO8 – Complies, the proposal includes a driveway and access plan (Dwg No. 0387-
        OW2.1) with a maximum width of 4.0 metres at the kerb and 3.5 metres at the property
        boundary, consistent with Standard Drawing RS-049. The driveway details plan (Dwg
        No. 0387-OW2.2) also provides Section A-A – Driveway Profile, designed to meet
        existing site constraints and will minimise any stormwater impacts of the site. The
        proposed driveway will provide safe access to and from the site for use by vehicles and
        pedestrians to the extent practicable, having regard to the steepness of the footpath
        area in this location, consistent with PO8 (refer Attachment 2).

    •   PO10 – Complies, the driveway and crossover will be constructed of concrete, which is
        suitable and practical.

    •   PO11 – Complies, the proposed driveway will not cause water ponding and will not
        enter buildings. Further, it will not reduce the stormwater carrying capacity of the
        roadway.

    •   PO12 - Complies, the driveway and access plan (Dwg No. 0387-OW2.1) demonstrates
        the proposed driveway crossover is not located near stormwater drainage
        infrastructure.

    •   PO13 – The proposed driveway and crossover are in the same location, well removed
        from the Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) for the existing tree located in the road reserve to
        the east of the driveway (see Dwg No. 0387-OW1.1 and Attachment 2). The proposal
        minimises adverse impacts on the streetscape and traffic network by utilising the
        current crossover location to service the site. The proposed design will not have a visual
        impact on the streetscape.

    •   AO14 – Complies, the proposal seeks to construct one (1) driveway, is not on a corner
        lot, and is located within the Low Density Residential Zone. Further, will not impede the
        safe and efficient use of the road network.

    •   AO15 – Not applicable, the site is not mapped within a Bushfire hazard area.

    •   AO16 - Not applicable, the site is not mapped within a Flood hazard area.

    •   AO17 – Not applicable, the proposal does not include underground parking.

    •   AO18 – Not applicable, the proposal is not within proximity to a substation or
        transmission line.

                                                                                        2|Page

Summary

In summary, the proposed driveway and crossover design utilises the existing access location
and satisfies access and safety requirements. The design provides for a driveway and crossover
that complies with the relevant performance outcomes, in terms of having a suitable width,
adequate vehicle clearance and is not in proximity to existing infrastructure in the road reserve.
The proposed design minimises impact on stormwater drainage systems and will have no
adverse impact on the existing street tree fronting the site. The proposed design of the
driveway and crossover will match the existing footpath profile fronting the land, and is a
practical response in the circumstances.
