PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                      6 MAY 2025


Change to include clubhouse (Other Change submitted 13 November 2024):
The change formalises the changes to the clubhouse that were referred to in the original officer
report, and include the following:
      •   Minor alterations to the internal configurations of the bar, kitchen, cold room and store
          area (red dotted outline); and
      •   New liquor cool room, new dry store, new security & procurement office, new wet and
          dry waste areas and new enclosed storage area (shown as yellow shading).
The applicant has advised:
      The application material states that the proposed 105m² floor area extension to the existing
      clubhouse would be obtained by undertaking a change to the current development approval
      17380DA, which provides for a material change of use for a Country Club including Golf
      Clubhouse, Health Club and Tennis Centre. It was originally intended to change the current
      development approval once the approval for the “Boutique Hotel” was obtained; however, it
      has now been decided to include this component as part of the current application.
The existing clubhouse, to which the proposed extension applies, is located within the Tourist
Accommodation Zone, a Club is an inconsistent use within this zone. Notwithstanding, the existing
clubhouse was approved under approval 17380 DA in 1999 and has occupied the site for an
extended period.
The inclusion of the Club use within the current Material Change of Use application facilitates minor
changes to the layout of the building with minor extensions to the building footprint as detailed in
the following image:

The proposed additional 105m2 of gross floor area within the existing clubhouse was identified in
the original report to Council. At that time the assessment of plot ratio acknowledged the potential
additional clubhouse gross floor area noting the proposed plot ratio of all buildings, including the
proposed change to the clubhouse, would be significantly below the maximum allowed within the
Tourist Accommodation Zone (15,240m2 permitted with 10,208m2 proposed).
