Landscaping Code

The plantings within planter boxes require removal to allow for the proposed outdoor
dining areas. Despite these being removed, the development will continue to
achieve the overall outcomes of the Landscaping Code as it ensures that plantings
are maintained throughout the development, particularly along the side and rear
boundaries, to screen and soften the built form of the development.

Driveways and Carparking Code

The existing approved restaurant comprises a total area of 86m2, consisting of
66m2 of indoor restaurant and a 20m2 outdoor dining area.

The original approval, which consisted of a Dwelling Unit and Restaurant,
required a total of 17 car spaces to be provided for the development, which
are located to the rear of the premises.

Probable Solution S7.1 of the Driveways and Carparking Code seeks that Type
1 Food & Beverages provide a vehicle parking rate of 1 space per 10m2, or
part thereof, of use area and outdoor dining area (excluding kitchen and
food storage areas) on the property. The development would therefore
trigger a total of 8.6 spaces minus the area rate occupied by the kitchen.

The existing development therefore provides a significant surplus in car
parking when considering it against the requirements of the planning
scheme.

The proposed outdoor dining areas, having a total use area of 7.15m2, would
only trigger 1 additional space, which can comfortably be provided onsite.

As a result of the changes, the following changes would have to be made to
the decision notice:

The following plan would replace the existing approved Ground Floor Plan
identified in condition 1 of the approval:
