  The proposed left out egress design means that the existing Telstra Pit does not have to be
  lowered and also enables an additional five (5) parking spaces to be provided beside the
  pedestrian pathway which is desirable. While the current access is left in and left out, the
  majority of the vehicles entering the site enter via the south eastern access nearest the
  roundabout.

  It is suggested that it would be unusual for vehicles to enter the site using the north western
  access after bypassing the first access when travelling from the south east. It is noted that right
  turn ingress to the site when travelling from the north west is only allowed using the south
  eastern access.

  It is requested that condition 65 of the approval for material change of use be amended to
  refer to the proposal plan showing the new egress to the north west (Figure 1). A request to
  amend the operational works approval (OPW18/0118) will also be made as soon as possible.

  Change to Condition 36
  The applicant has also considered an alternative parking arrangement for the land behind the
  Telstra Depot. A new site plan for the development is provided as Attachment 3 (CP 2.02.D-
  1).

  The carparking behind the Telstra Depot has been amended to provide 65 spaces, revised
  stormwater treatment and swale adjoining the parkland and increased landscaping beside the
  residential properties to the north west. The amended layout provides for an improved
  planning outcome for the existing development at this location.

  While the number of carparks has been reduced from 72 spaces to 65 spaces, an additional 5
  spaces are to be provided adjoining the Child Care Centre as shown in Figure 1 (above).
  Consequently, the number of carparks being provided is 70 spaces, which is 2 spaces short of
  the required 72 spaces under the current approval, which is minimal reduction.

  It is noted that the traffic experts in the recent appeal lodged about the refusal of the request
  to remove the multilevel carpark, agreed that the applicable carparking rate for the mixed use
  development should be 1 space per 20m² of use area. This is the carparking rate that has been
  adopted for the proposed new office floorspace above the proposed multilevel carpark.

  Under condition 36 of the approval the applicant is to provide 369 carparking spaces including
  the 40 spaces for the Child Care Centre (refer current Site Plan – CP 2.02C-1). Under condition
  12, the total use area allowed is 6,054m², not including the Child Care Centre. Having regard
  to the agreed carparking rate, the number of carparks required for the existing use area is 303
  spaces, not including the 40 spaces required for the Child Care Centre. The applicant is
  proposing to provide 367 spaces as follows:
      • 291 existing (including 40 spaces for the Child Care Centre);
      • 65 spaces at grade behind the Telstra Depot;
      • 5 additional spaces beside the Child Care Centre;

                                                                                          3|Page
