The
Department of Housing
advises:
(a) Yes
(b) The conditional planning approval (WAPC 132894) required a roundabout to be constructed.
(c) Clause 2.3.1.2 of the Main Roads Western Australian's "Driveways" (document number:67-08-65VB revision 2E)), applies to new driveways:
"Driveways near roundabouts are not to be located within the roundabout area nor within 25m of the roundabout entrances or exits, and are to be located as far as practical from the roundabout."
This guideline explicitly states that the guideline itself is applicable for access to roads under the control of Main Roads.
Both Grosvenor and Davies Streets are local authority roads not Main Roads roads.
The guideline as it applies to local authority roads requires contact to be made with the local authority. This has been done, with approval for the roundabout sought and granted.
(d) Not applicable
