PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                    11 JULY 2017


A report on this application was considered by the Planning and Environment Committee on 6
December 2016 (Item 1, Page 3), and at the General Committee Meeting on 12 December 2016
(Item 3, Page 3). At the Ordinary Meeting on 15 December 2016 the application was deferred.
Council deferred the application as the applicant provided additional information and further time
was required to assess the information. The applicant consequently provided further grounds for
approval and on 19 January 2017 Council approved a service station, fast food and convenience
outlet and associated signage.
1.2. Site Description
The site is a corner lot, with Holts Road to the east and Taylor Court to the south. The south
western boundary adjoins an industrial lot’s access handle.
The site slopes approximately 3.5m from the Holts Road boundary to the south western
boundary having an approximate 2.5 degree slope. The lot is void of vegetation as seen in Figure
6 below. The Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) currently occupy the site on a
temporary basis with sheds and extensive hardstand areas. Figure 1 shows the site location.

2.    ASSESSMENT
Under the provisions of the Sustainable Planning Act the applicant suspended its appeal period
and submitted representations to conditions of the approval (see Attachment 1). The Act
requires Council to consider the representations and give a new decision notice (a negotiated
decision notice) to all relevant parties, where the representations are agreed with. The
representations primarily seek to amend the list of approved plans and change the stormwater
requirements for the development.
