PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                      7 JUNE 2016


The applicant’s description of the proposal includes:

On site storage, production kitchen and administration provide for the operation of the Kitchen
Shed’s primary business which is wholesaling food and beverage directly to restaurants, off site
function and event catering, production kitchen for Gaston’s restaurant, and the provision of such
product from onsite as a shop / café with seating for up to 10 persons.

The shop as defined provides the opportunity for the product produced or wholesaled from
Kitchen Shed to be available for customers to purchase and if they choose sit on site and
consume. Provision has been made for up to 10 chairs and a table to enable this to occur.

Hours of operation for the shop are from 7am – 3pm Monday to Friday, to coincide with the
worker activity within the Lionel Donovan Drive precinct. You are able to purchase a coffee,
freshly baked product or sandwich and takeaway or eat on site. This use as a shop is ancillary to
the primary focus of the industrial use and as such only uses 19.7m2 [subsequently amended to
14.7m2] of the Gross Floor Area of the development.

An extract from the proposal plan is shown in Figure below, with the green and pink areas
nominated by the applicant as the shop use areas and the balance being the compliant industrial
floor space. Note the tenancy is 232m2 in total and includes an upper floor office and storage
area.
