4. Town Planning Report

4.3       CARPARKING AND SERVICING
The proposed development will be serviced by 7 car spaces and 1 van/visitor space. The proposal
complies with the Planning Scheme’s requirements by providing 1 space per dwelling unit and 4 spaces
for the exclusive use of the Office.

The site is unable to be effectively serviced by a MRV type vehicle as a result of the small area of the
site, which precludes the ability for an MRV to access and egress in a forward gear. Accordingly, it is
proposed that any MRV occasional access required to service the site be undertaken from the site’s
frontage on David Low Way, potentially with a line-marked commercial loading zone. This outcome is
considered appropriate given that MRV access to the development will be very infrequent given the
small scale of the development which comprises only 3 dwellings and a small office tenancy.



4.4       LANDSCAPING
Generous landscaping is proposed across the site’s frontage and throughout the development. The
landscaping outcomes includes a 2m landscape strip across the front of the site. As shown on the
landscape plan in Appendix C, some landscaping is proposed within the verge, which is consistent with
the existing situation. The proposed landscaping enhances the streetscape and assists to integrate the
development with the streetscape and urban environment. Buffer planting will be provided to all side
and rear boundaries. Two small podium planter boxes are also proposed on the northern balconies, to
assist in softening the built form when viewed from the street and adjoining commercial development.
Refer to Figure 9 below.
