REPORT
A report on a Material Change of Use application for an Industrial Business Type 2 (Production,
alteration, repackaging & repairing) was considered by the Planning & Organisation Committee
on 28 April 2015 and was subsequently referred to the General Committee Meeting. During the
course of discussions at the Planning & Organisation Committee, Councillors requested further
details on access to the site and traffic safety.

Traffic
The Department of Transport & Main Roads (TMR) is a concurrence agency for the application,
as the site has frontage to Factory and Hill Streets, which are both State Controlled Roads. The
State Assessment & Referral Agency (SARA) coordinates the responses from the various
government agencies and provided a response to the application on the 11 February 2015. The
response requires conditions be attached to the development permit and is included as
Attachments 1 & 2.

In summary, the concurrence agency conditions require the development to be carried out in
accordance with the following requirements:

                       Road access locations limited to the existing driveway along Factory Street and adjacent to
                         the northern lot boundary along Hill Street.
                       The road access location at Factory Street is restricted to an entry left-in and right-in
                         arrangement only.
                       Entry only signage and line markings on the Factory Street entry.
                       Entry/exit signage and line markings on the Hill Street entry.
                       Appropriate driveway widths to accommodate heavy vehicles.
                       A pedestrian footpath, verge and kerb and channelling along the entire frontage of the site
                         connecting to the existing adjoining footpaths.
