         SITE HISTORY

3.1       PRELODGEMENT MEETING
A prelodgement meeting was undertaken with respect of the subject application. However, it should
be noted that the prelodgement discussions were based on alternative design, which involved the same
uses and built form configuration. However, the access was proposed via an access easement through
the adjoining site to the north (247 David Low Way). Accordingly, the initial proposal discussed at the
prelodgement meeting included a Reconfiguration of a Lot proposal to accommodate this new access
easement arrangement.

The applicant was unable to agree to terms with the owner of 247 David Low Way to allow access via
the adjoining land. As a result, the current proposal no longer relies on access via the adjoining land.
Instead, a new driveway is proposed for the site, generally in the location of the existing driveway.
Notwithstanding the changed access arrangements, the revise development still closely aligns with the
proposal discussed at the prelodgement meeting.

The proposal was generally supported and the key outcomes from this meeting are outlined below:
     The mixed use MCU would be code assessable.
     The development complied with the key built form requirements of the Medium density
       residential zone code.
     The proposed northern side setbacks ‘encroachments’ did not raise any significant concerns
       where they do not result in any visual or privacy impacts.
     The southern boundary setbacks must comply to avoid any visual amenity or privacy impacts on
       the adjoining residence.
     A good landscape outcome will be required along David Low Way so that the development
       presents positively to the street and is appropriately screened.
     The built form design must incorporate material and finishes that complement the surrounding
       area and integrate well with the surrounding natural and built environment.
     Vehicle parking and manoeuvring must be provided in accordance with the relevant Australian
       Standards for Parking Facilities.
     Frontage works will be required as part of the application.


3.2       LAND USE HISTORY
