My assessment is a peer review of the work undertaken by GTA Consultants, as instructed by Planning & Property Partners Pty Ltd on behalf of Kaufland Australia Pty Ltd. Kaufland Supermarkets will offer a larger format supermarket than current Australian Supermarkets. Kaufland propose stores in the order of 6,000m2 (including attached shops/food hall), compared to approximately 4,000m2 for a Coles or Woolworths supermarket. Kaufland supermarkets will include a full range of food and liquor, comparable to a traditional full line supermarket. In addition, the supermarkets are expected to offer a range of non‐food items such as crockery/cutlery, small scale electronics, stationary, clothing, tools, etc. I am instructed that Kaufland expect that the split between food and non‐food products sold to be in the order of 80/20, with the food offering including liquor (70/10 split of the 80% food). A Kaufland Supermarket will also include a ‘Food Hall’ area serving food and drinks to patrons and two smaller tenancies that will be occupied by speciality retail or similar uses, but associated with Kaufland. My key opinions are set out as follows: a) The mitigating works proposed in the TIA prepared by GTA Consultants are appropriate and necessary to mitigate the traffic impacts of the proposal on the road network. a) The provision of car parking exceeds the minimum requirements of Clause 52.06‐5 of the Planning Scheme and I am comfortable with the level of car parking proposed. b) The provision of bicycle parking is generally satisfactory, subject to: i) The provision of secure and undercover bicycle parking for staff. ii) The provision of end‐of‐trip facilities for staff in accordance with Clause 52.34. c) The design and layout of the carpark is satisfactory and provides for a safe and efficient carpark layout. d) The proposed loading arrangements will adequately service the proposed use and I am satisfied with the accessibility of the proposed loading bay by vehicles up to the 19m long semi‐trailer. e) Waste collection will be adequately accommodated within the loading bay. f) Having reviewed the relevant background material, I am satisfied that there are no reasons why the proposal should be refused, subject to appropriate conditions. 25571A#4 (Mornington) Page i Statement
