               Existing Condition 52 - Performance Bond (Planning)
               Security in the form of a cash bond or trading bank guarantee to the sum of $10,000 must be
               submitted to Council, to secure performance of all conditions of this approval, specifically for Lot
               2, prior to the issue of a Development Permit for Building Works. The cash bond or trading bank
               guarantee will be returned on performance of the conditions of approval less any costs incurred by
               Council in respect of enforcing performance of this permit. Council reserves the right to call upon
               the bond or guaranteed sum to effect compliance with conditions.
               Applicant’s Request
               Requested deletion of condition 52 relating to the requirement for a performance bond. If complete
               removal of the performance bond is not appropriate, we request a significantly reduced
               performance bond given that the only work requiring bonding is some landscaping to be installed
               once the building work is completed in accordance with the approved landscape master plan
               (attached for your reference).
               Assessment of Request
               It is agreed that the amount of bond previously conditioned is excessive in light of the scope of this
               Minor Change. The scope of this Minor Change now only involves a partial demolition of internal
               elements and the removal/addition of window to facilitate the proposed changes being a minor
               height increase to accommodate the addition of a lift and the reconfiguration of the internal layout
               on each level of the existing building.
               In consideration of this scope of works and partial demolition, a reduced performance bond of
               $5,000 is more appropriate to secure performance of all conditions of this Minor Change to the
               Existing Approval.
               Recommendation
               It is recommended existing condition 52 be deleted and a new bond condition included to ensure
               the performance of all conditions relating to the partial demolition works are secured.
               New Condition 57 will be as follows:
               Security in the form of a cash bond or trading bank guarantee to the sum of $5,000 must be
               submitted to Council, to secure performance of all conditions of this approval, specifically for Lot
               2, prior to the issue of a Development Permit for Building Works. The cash bond or trading bank
               guarantee will be returned on performance of the conditions of approval less any costs incurred by
               Council in respect of enforcing performance of this permit. Council reserves the right to call upon
               the bond or guaranteed sum to effect compliance with conditions.


               Additional Conditions Recommeded
               In correspondence from the applicant dated 28 May 2025, it was requested that Council add some
               appropriate conditions regarding the proposed partial demolition work to negate the need for a
               separate demolition permit.
               To facilitate this request, it is recommended that Conditions 57-69 (included below) be added to
               facilitate this partial demolition and to remove the need for the applicant to apply for a separate
               demolition permit through their building certifier.
