Letter to NC - Minor Change for Storage Areas

    “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




The materials being used for Store Room 1, include FC weatherboard sheeting to match
existing, which complements the existing design of the RSL2. The roller doors provide for ease
of access and are not out of place in a carpark location and provide for a different contrast in
building materials. The larger storage area (Store Room 1) is contained within the existing eave
area but maintains a small eave along the roof line presenting to Pelican Street (refer Figure
2) 3.

There is no change to the building height of the development, with both storage areas being
below the existing roof line4. The proposed storage areas will not result in an increase in site
cover, being located at the first level and above the existing basement carpark. Further, the
larger storage area is located under the existing eave of the building. The proposed small
additions to the RSL will not contribute to an increase in building bulk being presented to the
Pelican or Donnella Street frontages5.

At this stage the existing plot ratio is not known for the existing development. In any event,
the proposed storage areas result in a combined GFA of 56.4m² which has a negligible increase
in the amount of plot ratio6. The plot ratio allowed on the site (6,116.06m²) is approximately
2,834.8m² of GFA. It is expected that the existing GFA of the RSL will be less than the allowable
amount of GFA, referred to above.

The proposed additional storage areas make no material difference to the building setbacks
of the development, being no further forward than the existing built form in Pelican Street and
Donnella Street. Further, the larger storage area (Store Room 1) fronting Pelican Street will not
affect the continuity of the built form along this streetscape and does not result in a large
