PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                        7 FEBRUARY 2023


 The applicant further states that although the carport will be encroaching within the 6m road frontage
 setback, it is to be located behind the significantly vegetated and landscaped road reserve and will not be
 visible by the opposite residents or road users of Lake Weyba Drive.
 The fee for a minor change is $2330. The applicant is requesting that Council apply the minor change to a
 Dwelling house, which is $1225. The assessment will be minor, and it is therefore recommended that the
 minor change to a Dwelling house be applied.

 An application is about to be lodged for Operational Works at the showgrounds in Pomona.
 The application includes various aspects of work. The applicant is a not for profit organization and therefore
 entitled to 50% discount on fees.
 The applicant is requesting a full waiver of fees. The fees applied are already the minimum fee in the
 Schedule of fees and charges.
 The works proposed are going to require some assessment and site inspections and therefore the full waiver
 of fees is not supported. The fee of $612.50 is applicable.

                                             Landscaping
 An application has been lodged for a minor change to an Operational Works approval for Stormwater,
 Drainage Works, Earthworks, Roadworks & Landscaping at 30 Pine Street Cooroy.
 The application involves a change to the type of driveway only and the applicant has requested the vehicle
 crossover fee be applied instead of the minor change fee.
 The works proposed are fairly minor and the assessment required will be minor too. Therefore, the reduced
 fee is considered appropriate.

Previous Council Consideration
The fees and charges for development applications for this period were considered by Council at
the special budget meeting in June 2022.
Finance
The agreed variations to development application fees had no significant impact on the budget
for 2022/2023.
Risks & Opportunities
The fee variations are considered to be reasonable and adequately justified.
