  • To provide for a range of non-residential uses, which are compatible with and complimentary to residential development.

For a ‘Holiday House’, the minimum parking requirements are one (1) space for the first two (2) bedrooms, and one (1) additional car parking space per bedroom thereafter. A total of four (4) car parking bays are required to service the intended land use, in lieu of the two (2) car parking spaces available within the site.
