      D-11801-03A     South and North Elevations, drawn by Lynda McDougall           10/12/2018

Applicant’s Request
The changes to the plans reflect the increased size of the toilets from 26m 2 (6.35m x 4.1m) to
39m2 (6.95m x 5.6m) to comply with the PWD requirements and allow a separate male/female
shower and toilet. It is requested to endorse the submitted plans to reflect the change to the
amenities block and change Condition 2 accordingly.
Assessment
The proposal includes an increase of floor area for the amenities block which is located at the
rear of the site and existing building.
The increase in size of the amenities block does not impact on the provision of approved
landscaping and the number of car spaces.
Process wise, additional floor area would generally mean a change to the application. In this
case however, an increase in floor area for an amenities block is considered generally in
accordance with the existing approval.
For the above reasons, the applicant’s request is supported.
Condition 4 – Patron numbers
Operating Hours and Class Times
4.   The hours of operation and staff and patron numbers for the development must comply
     with the following requirements:
     a.    The hours of operation for the approved use is limited to the hours between 5.00am
           and 9.00pm daily;
     b.    The number of people (patrons and staff) must not exceed 15 people at any one time.
     c.    Group classes must have a minimum 15 minute break between the conclusion of a
           class and the beginning of the next.
Applicant’s Request
The proposed change considers the large amount of surplus parking off site outside the
predominant industrial use hours. This condition for additional patrons has been considered
appropriate for similar proposals in the industry zone where there are excess off-street parking
opportunities. The applicant requests to amend Condition 4 as follows:
Operating Hours and Class Times
