MCU210110 Response To Amended Plans-230227

commercial cooking, cool rooms freezers and function cold room. This facility is designed
for food production for rapid service as would be required for up to 500 seated diners. This is
well beyond the scope of the dining facility required for 112 hotel rooms (providing
breakfast, pool snacks and some dinners). This facility would represent a capital cost of up to
15 million dollars. It is somewhat disingenuous to suggest that this investment would be
made without a business plan. The only potential use for a kitchen of this scale is seated
functions for up to 500 persons.

5. The Application does not adequately support the existing resort facilities. The inclusion of
500 m.sq. of ground level open space and associated kitchen, preparation and storage
facilities are strongly indicative of restaurant and function usage. This potential use is not
defined in the application, nor are the associated impacts arising from this potential use
addressed by way of analysis or mitigation. It would be a facility operating in direct
competition with the existing resort function areas.

6. The intention to expand the hotel to include function facilities has been publicly stated by
the applicant. Refer to Appendix A.

It is unclear from the drawings whether the proposed new car park provides an “accessible
path” as defined under BCA Vol 1 Part D3.2. and AS 1428.1. If not, the proposal may be
deficient in compliance.
