Letter to NC - Minor Change for Storage Areas

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




While technically these additional enclosed storage areas are considered gross floor area
(GFA), given they are being used for storage purposes, there is no added demand for parking.
Further, the location of the storage areas will not adversely impact existing parking within the
site. Having regard to the scale of the existing RSL development and the minor nature of the
proposed changes being made for storage, sufficient parking is provided for the
development13.

The existing bicycle parking located beside Store Room 1 will be relocated elsewhere onsite,
potentially at Level 1 near the entry as shown on the Proposed Floor Plan (refer Figure 1) or
within the basement. Proposed Store Room 2 is well removed within the back of house and
will not affect onsite parking.

Minor Change

Pursuant to the definition of a minor change under the Planning Act 2016, the proposed
changes do not result in a substantially different development. Consistent with Schedule 1 of
the Development Assessment Rules, the proposed development is for the same use over the
same land, does not dramatically change the built form, does not change how the use will
operate, does not remove an integral component of the use and does not increase traffic or
any other impacts. Further, does not remove an incentive or offset component and will not
have any bearing on existing infrastructure.

The proposed development does not trigger public notification and does not trigger referral
to additional referral agencies. The proposed development is consistent with the definition of
a ‘minor change’.

Summary

In summary, the proposed development is for two (2) small storage areas collectively
comprising about 56.4m². The small storage area (Store Room 2) is located within the back of
house area beside an existing storage area off the main dining room and is not visible off the
site.

The large storage area (Store Room 1) fronts but is removed from Pelican Street. The proposed
built form of the larger storage area has a design and makes use of building materials, which
complements the existing built form. Further, the proposed development will include three (3)
large planter boxes to retain some softening of the built form presenting to Pelican Street.

While the proposed storage areas are technically GFA, there is no added demand for parking.
In the circumstances, given the nature and scale of the existing development, sufficient parking
is already provided for the development.
