1. What Australian Standard is this car parking area at this address built to?

   More to the point, how does Council rationalise this car parking area that fails to meet Clause 52.06 requirements?

   Is this what happens when a cynical conditioned public fails to make objections?

   If this is an example of what Council deems to be satisfactory, not to mention retrospective approval of works effected that is clearly sub-standard, it warrants further action if the same 'standards' works are approved in 2017 at any other site in Tecoma, not limited to VCAT appeal.

2. Given this application is yet to be advertised for public review and submissions prior feedback comments and this comment should be considered prior to peliminary assessment and advertising.

   Council should ensure this application is sent to Referral Authority (VICRoads) due to location on a Category 1 road (Burwood Highway).

   This site entry is problematic from Burwood Highway traveling East 9towards Belgrave from Tecoma) requiring a right turn across painted traffic island on a blind turn in variable speed limited zone.
   Undertaking vehicles passing a vehicle attempting entry in such a manner must use bike lane to do so. Notwithstanding such an attempted entry is not legal this does occur due to no easily viable means of executing a U turn along this section of road - only safe viable location is at Burwood Highway / Belgrave Hallum Road / Monbulk Road roundabout in Belgrave shopping precinct that is subject to congestion.

   Current use of this site creates traffic issues and it would appear previous applications were not sent to VICRoads. If previous applications had been sent and no objections subject to conditions, then either appropriate Permit conditions were not applied by Council or compliance to such conditions have not been complied with.

   This application should be used as an opportunity to address this long standing traffic issue AND the sub-standard car parking area on this Lot that does NOT comply to all Clause 52.06 provisions of the Yarra Ranges Planning Scheme.
   This and other car parking areas of similar built form in applications currently yet to be determined by Council will be contested if Council deems such standards to be 'satisfactory'. Such deeming of sub-standard car parking areas is viewed by this respondent as being an unreasonable concession afforded to proponents of no merit to the general public.
