THE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION

The applicant seeks to demolish the existing structures on 62 Rene Street and construct a new
industrial building to complement the existing storage facility at 64-66 Rene Street. The new building
is to be utilised for self- storage consistent with the adjoining storage facilities on site.

The industrial building is to be partially excavated into the site and comprises three levels. The
proposal plans detail a partially excavated basement floor plan for caravan, boat and car storage as
well as air-conditioned and dehumidified storage units. The upper two levels of the building are to be
used for self storage facilities of varying sizes and accessed by a central loading dock which will
contain trolleys and a lift for access. A small office for sales of packaging and storage items is
provided to the front of the site.
