Planning Report

                                                    bedrooms and a gross floor area of no more
                                                    than 150m2
 Alternative Solution/Assessment
 The independent dwelling units provided are for over 50’s lifestyle resort living. As such, the
 products are designed to meet this market. Market demand has meant that all dwelling products
 exceed 150m². Despite this, the needs of the residents are met. It is considered that S32.1 is
 nonoperational provision of the Planning Scheme and not a reflection of today’s society.
