Evertsz v Maroondah CC [2007] VCAT 547
13 Kalinda Road, Croydon
This case involved the review of conditions placed on a permit for a specialist medical clinic in Croydon in Maroondah City Council.
Millar Merrigan successfully argued against the conditions requiring a sealed car park and a restriction on the number of practitioners.
The tribunal noted that the parking requirements in the planning scheme are often too onerous and that a practical solution is required. In this case the tribunal agreed that a reduction in car parking was warranted given the specialist nature of the clinic and the availability of public transport.
The tribunal also agreed with our arguments that a sealed concrete or bitumen car park would be an overdesign and that a gravel car park as proposed provided benefits in reducing the quantity of stormwater runoff allowing infiltration into the garden which is a more environmentally friendly and sustainable solution.
