All protection measures will be established between the contractor and arborist prior to construction
and monitored as necessary.

4.6        Access, Parking & Servicing

4.6.1 Access
Vehicular access to the development is proposed via a driveway adjacent to the western site
boundary. This location has been selected to ensure the large gum tree within the verge on the eastern
boundary can be retained. The proposed driveway is 5.0m wide in accordance with the requirements
in Section 3.2.1 of AS2890.1 which specifies a width of 3.0m-5.5m for driveways fronting a local street
and having fewer than 25 spaces.

4.6.2 Parking
Table 9.4.1.4 in Council’s Driveways and Parking Code recommends the following car parking rate for
Rooming Accommodation:

      a)        one space for a manager in residence, if applicable; and
      b)        one space per two bedrooms

The application of the above parking rates to the proposed development (which comprises 16 x 1-
bedroom) and does not have an on-site managers residence, suggests a parking requirement of eight
(8) spaces. However, as detailed in A06.2 of the Driveways and Parking Code, motorcycle spaces can
be provided on site in lieu of required car parking spaces, at the following rates:

      a)        2 motorcycle spaces provided for 0.5 car parking space; or
      b)        4 motorcycles spaces provided per 1 car parking space; and
      c)        up to a maximum of 4 car parking spaces.

The applicant has provided eight (8) motorcycle spaces, which reduces the parking supply by two (2)
spaces.

4.6.3 Servicing
Servicing of the development is proposed via kerbside collection. This is consistent with the
arrangements at the majority of residential dwellings and smaller residential developments within the
area, and will avoid the need for service vehicles to reverse onto or off the site.

An appropriate rate for waste generation for these single rooms would be in the order of:

                60L per unit for general (collected weekly); and
                60L per unit for recycling (collected fortnightly).

Sixteen (16) rooms might generate in the order of:

            960L or 4 * 240L wheelie bins for general; and
            960L or 4 * 240L wheelie bins for recycling;

As shown in the plans included as Appendix A, there is adequate distance along the site frontage clear
of the proposed access driveway to accommodate the required number of wheelie bins for collection
