The current on street vehicle parking is pictured below. These vehicles are likely to include other
residents and their visitors as well as cars associated with the swim school. Notably at the time
this picture was taken, the swim school was operating and there were no cars parked in the
driveway. (Refer to figure 6).

The application has been assessed against the Home-based Business Code. Specific Outcome
O53 of this Code seeks to ensure uses do not interfere with the amenity of the neighbourhood
including acoustic qualities. Specific Outcome O59 seeks to ensure adequate off-street vehicle
parking is provided without causing adverse impact to the residents of adjoining properties.
The pertinent issues arising out of the assessment against the Home-based Business Code are
discussed below:
