Works Codes (Driveways and Parking Code)
These codes largely relate to the provision of services and infrastructure associated with the
proposed development of the subject land. The subject site currently has access to an appropriate
level of infrastructure for its existing business use.

The proposal has been assessed against, and is generally consistent with, the Purpose and Overall
Outcomes, and the relevant Performance and Acceptable Outcomes prescribed within the
Driveways and Parking Code. The following Table 6 provides a clear indication of the car parking
situation and demonstrates that no further car parking demand is triggered for this development.

Please note: In circumstances where no car parking has been provided for an existing use or does
not comply with a current Acceptable Outcome for an existing use, Council has historically given a
car parking credit for the existing use onsite and applies that number of car spaces as a credit for
a new proposal.

If the existing approval applied a known rate then the known rate is applied as credit, or if the rate
is unknown, Council has historically applied the current planning scheme rate for the credit. The
above calculation has applied the current planning scheme rate, as the rate is unknown which
applied to the development in 1969-1970.
