Works in the Public realm
Council officers (Planning and Infrastructure Services) discussed with the applicant some
improvements with the interaction with surrounding public land. The following table outlines the
issues and how the development has sought to incorporate solutions in the redevelopment of the
site. Refer to Figure 11 – proposed frontage works.
Issue                                       Solution
Pedestrian and traffic movements in         Concerns were raised by Council officers about the existing
front of the clubhouse                      lack of well-defined pedestrian pathways that extended from
Pavement treatment and bollards             the beach access to the club, park and shopping area. At
                                            present the pedestrian footpath does not extend from Ed Webb
                                            Park around to the beach access with pedestrian forced to
                                            walk across the carparking and turning area.
                                            Additional works interacting with the public carpark were also
                                            explored. Revised plans now show a distinctive pedestrian and
                                            shared zone (use of coloured concrete), bollards providing
                                            delineation between carparking and pedestrian pathways,
                                            (removal of existing kerb and seamless transition treatment,
                                            footpath and paving treatments. Refer Figure 11 – proposed
                                            works in the road reserve

                                            The applicant intends to provide an improved pedestrian link to
                                            the beach access in front of the Club in combination with
                                            feature screening and landscaping and will be conditioned as
                                            such. A contiguous pathway from the foreshore to the village
                                            will also be conditioned as part of the proposal.
Impact of the northern face of the          The project architect has reviewed the northern boundary
building and the resultant cross fall for   façade and adjoining vehicular access and proposes widening
vehicles navigating the laneway             of the access to ensure vehicles are well clear of the building.

                                            The project architect reviewed the northern garden bed to the
Design northern garden bed to park          park and has designed it so it steps down the slope to
access                                      minimise the height and potential to be a trip hazard.

Provision of carparking and options for     Several options were explored as discussed under Section
additional carparking                       3.3.1 of this report. The preferred option is to convert parallel
                                            parking in Webb Road to perpendicular parking resulting in
                                            four new carparking spaces being provided in Webb Road.
                                            Additionally, the car park on the eastern side of the Club will be
                                            upgraded. The works will be conditioned as part of this
                                            proposal and will be completed as part of an Operational
                                            Works application for frontage works.
