7.13 Mobility, traffic management and parking

(1) The objectives of this clause are as follows--

(a) to ensure improved vehicle access and circulation in the Dee Why Town Centre through good design and the management of traffic flows within the existing and new roads servicing the centre,

(b) to ensure increased road network capacity and improved vehicle circulation through the Dee Why Town Centre,

(c) to encourage alternative forms of transport from private vehicle use,

(d) to minimise the disruption of pedestrian movement and safety,

(e) to reduce the visual scale of parking, loading and waste collection facilities.

(2) Development consent must not be granted to the construction of new buildings in the Dee Why Town Centre unless the consent authority is satisfied that--

(a) any development on Site A will be consistent with the establishment of a new north-south street, between Howard and Oaks Avenue, along the eastern side of Site A, shown on the Key Sites Map as the Proposed New Road, and

(b) any development on Site A for the purposes of the Proposed New Road will have a minimum width of 18 metres where it adjoins Lot 1, DP 526306 (St Kevin's Church) and 20 metres where it adjoins Strata Plan 1493, and

(d) the development will improve vehicle access and circulation within the Dee Why Town Centre and will reinforce the priority of pedestrian movements and networks to make the Dee Why Town Centre safe, enjoyable and attractive, and

(e) car parking will be provided principally underground and will accommodate the demand generated by the additional residential, retail and commercial uses, and

(g) if car parking adjoins a street frontage, the amenity of the adjoining and nearby uses is protected, and

(h) loading facilities and waste collection facilities are accommodated in a way that does not adversely impact on the visual amenity of the public domain, the amenity of adjoining or nearby residential properties or conflict with pedestrian access, and

(i) there will be minimal disruption to retail and commercial activity at street level because the proposed development--

(i) minimises the width of footpath crossings and vehicle entrances, and

(ii) ensures that loading facilities are substantially enclosed by occupied floor space, and

(iii) demonstrates high standards of civic design to portions of loading dock and car park entrances that are visible from the street.
