                     landscaping contained on the site.
Driveways and        Carparking
Carparking Code      The retrospective approval of the floor areas would result
                     in the loss of 1 garage space and requirement for an
                     additional 1.9 car spaces associated with 38m2 of
                     additional use area (56m2 of additional floor area minus
                     18m2 of kitchen space). This would total 3 additional
                     spaces spaces.

                     The use of these floor areas has been occurring for over
                     10 years when a previous owner of the site enclosed the
                     area adjacent to Thomas street. The use of these areas
                     has not resulted in any significant offsite carparking
                     impacts and overall the development continues to
                     provide sufficient onsite parking to cater for the peak
                     demand the use in accordance with Specific Outcome
                     O7 of the Code. It is therefore considered that the
                     approval of these spaces would not raise any issues
                     against the driveways and carparking code.

                     Service Vehicles
                     A loading area has been identified at the rear of the site
                     to ensure that it would not obstruct traffic entering the
                     site. While it would obstruct car parked within the site,
                     these would be patrons of the site and the truck would
                     only be there for a short period to service the premises.
                     The proposal is considered to provide an improved
                     outcome to the current circumstance where service
                     vehicles wither pull up on the street, or on the driveway
                     which block cars entering the site. Given the very small
                     size of these tenancies, loading trucks would only be
                     standing onsite for short periods of time to unload goods
                     associated with the restaurant uses. Any short-term
                     obstruction of car spaces can be managed onsite by
                     the operators.

Flood Hazard Areas   No changes are proposed to the floor levels within the
                     existing building. While these floor levels are below
                     current minimum floor height requirements, the
                     extensions to the floor areas relate to very small floor
                     areas comparative to the overall floor area of the
                     building. The use of these areas would not further
                     compromise the safety of people during flood events.

Acid Sulfate Soils   The proposed changes would not result in any
                     earthworks or potential to disturb acid sulfate soils.
