    efficiency. Reconfiguration of this area is considered necessary to improve safety and efficiency of
    vehicle movements.

   There is a lack of pedestrian facilities throughout the car park including connections to the shopping
    centre, thoroughfares through the car park and connectivity to remote parking areas including the hotel
    site to the west.

TTM drawing number 17BRT0143-01A (Attachment 2) presents the identified areas of deficiency.

3. Proposed Development
A copy of the architectural development plans is included as Attachment 3. The proposal involves two
general aspects of development works, including:

   Internal building works involving a minor expansion to the existing Woolworths supermarket tenancy,
    reconfiguration of some existing tenancies, and additional of an outdoor seating area located adjacent
    the southern building entry. The works result in an overall net increase in Total Use Area of 27 m2, taking
    the total development Total Use Area of 4,539 m2. In terms of Gross Floor Area, the proposal results in
    an increase of 54 m2 from 4,816 m2 to 4,870 m2.

   Car parking area modifications involving works at the first internal intersection adjacent the southern
    site access (to improve traffic movement operation by reducing vehicle and pedestrian conflict points),
    addition of an outdoor seating area in the car parking area located directly adjacent the southern
    building entry, and improvements within the northern car parking area to improve traffic control and
    pedestrian provisions. Overall, the proposed car parking works result in a decrease of 15 car parking
    spaces, taking the total supply to 280 spaces.

4. Parking Supply

4.1 Current Planning Scheme Requirement

Specific Outcome O7 of the Driveways and Carparking Code requires sufficient car parking to be provided to
accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to be generated by the development having regard to
the specifics of the use (such as type and intensity of land use, hours of operation, likely number of users,
peak parking demands etc.).

Probable Solution S7.1 of the Code requires the number of parking spaces to be not less than that identified
in Table 14-51 – Minimum Vehicle Parking Requirements of the Driveways and Carparking Code. For a ‘Shop’
the following parking supply rates apply:

   1 space per 20 m2, or part thereof, of use area for areas up to 100 m2; and

   1 space per 15 m2, or part thereof, of use area for areas in excess of 100 m2; and
