Dear Sir/Madam

Outstanding issues from Information Request
Sustainable Planning Act 2009

I refer to your application and advise that Council requires further clarification based on recent advice supplied in response to Council’s information request dated 2 May 2017 in order to satisfactorily assess the proposal. There are 2 outstanding issues as outlined in this letter. Prior to the commencement of public notification, confirmation is required with regard to these issues.

Activities occurring on site and associated times and numbers
I have summarised the documentation provided in recent times to determine what activities occur (and will occur) on site, what times and numbers of people associated with those activities.  To date, the varied documentation supplied to date has been somewhat contradictory. Currently it is understood that 4 uses currently occur on site. Can you confirm/advise the following as underlined below.
Paintball: 5.30pm-10pm Wednesday to Sunday – maximum 20 players at any one time as per your written advice dated 28 March 2017.  I note that the traffic report stipulates Monday to Thursday 8am-5pm, Friday/Saturday 8am-10pm, Sunday 1pm-5pm. Please confirm what the times will be.  I also note the traffic report stipulates 3 staff members are required.
Play maze: 9.30am-5pm Monday to Saturday and 1pm-5pm on Sundays – maximum 50 children (this number does not include parents/caregivers) as per your written advice dated 28 March 2017. I note the traffic report stipulates the hours to be 9.30am-2pm Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 4pm on Saturdays and 1pm to 4pm on Sundays. Please confirm what the times will be. I also note that the traffic report stipulates only 40 children and between 1 -3 staff.  Please confirm the maximum numbers of children at any one time.
Church service: Sundays – service for 1.5 hours and concluding at 11.30am as per your written advice dated 28 March 2017. I note the traffic report states times 9.30-11am with a 100 people capacity.  Please confirm times/time ranges on a Sunday.
Music practice: Thursdays – 4 people 7-8pm
Other activities: Are there any other activities that occur on site? Please confirm. If there are other activities, advise of the activity/numbers/days/times etc.

It is understood that the nature of the proposed uses requires some flexibility in what times these activities will occur. However in order to assess this application and for the public to understand the impacts, the confirmation of times, activities and numbers (as requested previously) is required. An assessment of this is necessary and must be contained within Council’s planning report. The application is also required to go through public notification and all content is published, and I am conscious there will be some confusion with the varied information submitted. Your response to the above will be taken as the final advice on this matter.

The Traffic report
We have yet to revise in any detail the submitted traffic management plan as recently submitted, but I note there are a couple of inconsistencies:
The parking demand (section 3.3) has not been based on maximum numbers (as outlined earlier in the report- p. 7). Base this analysis on the final numbers as requested above.
Although the report has been prepared on the premise that the play centre and paintball times of operation have been chosen to offset the arrival and departure, the total vehicle for each of the uses running at the same time, and the constant turnover associated have not been fully considered. For example, it is assumed that most people arrive between 9.30-10.30 and depart 3 hours later for the play centre, but this use is typically has regular coming and goings. Factor this into the modelling and parking demand and impacts on the road.

Can you seek clarification from your consultant and amend the document accordingly.

Once I have confirmation of the above issues and you are satisfied you have responded on full (please state if this is the case, as per my earlier email and information request), you will be able to commence the public notification stage.  It is preferable that you respond to all matters in one consolidated response.

I am happy to discuss if you seek clarification with the contents of this letter.

Should you have any further queries in relation to the above, please do not hesitate to contact Lisa Pienaar on the above number.

Yours faithfully

Lisa Pienaar
