               1.     PROPOSAL
               The applicant seeks a retrospective approval to change an existing development approval for
               Material Change of Use – Additions to Surf Life Saving Club. Building approvals have already been
               issued and works undertaken for refurbishment works within the Club; however, these works were
               undertaken without the necessary changes and approvals required to the existing Material Change
               of Use permit.
               The proposed changes relate to internal layout modifications involving demolition of existing
               internal structures with replacement of walls and several changes to external doors and windows.
               The proposed changes predominantly relate to the internal layout which are within the existing
               building footprint. There are some proposed changes to the building footprint, that comprise of the
               new roof panels (awnings) on the northern and eastern façades and the enclosing of the area
               underneath the existing deck, which result in additional gross floor area and site cover.
               It is noted that the existing awning located on the eastern façade is partially outside the lease
               boundary within the lease boundary. The existing roof currently projects approximately 1.5 metres
               beyond the lease boundary, with an associated concrete slab extending 3.3 metres outside the
               lease area. The new roof is proposed to extend over the existing slab to provide weather protection
               in front of the roller door located on the eastern elevation. This modification achieves its functional
               purpose and does not result in a significant change to the building’s scale, bulk, or overall
               appearance. The proposed changes do not constitute substantially different development.
               Council’s Property Manager has provided email advice (ECM Document Ref: 24374538)
               consenting to the awning extending outside the lease area.
               On the ground floor, the proposal involves reconfiguring the internal layout to provide new Nippers,
               men’s and women’s change areas, revised equipment storage, training spaces for new members,
               updated administration areas, retention or relocation of the first aid room, and a revised club entry.
               The proposal also includes the removal or replacement of various doors, windows, fences, roller
               doors, and roofed structures. Notably the proposal includes an extension to an existing awning/roof
               structure on the northern façade of the building that extends beyond the lease boundary.
               On the upper floor, internally there are changes including rearranging the function room and bar
               layout, revising the stair design, modifying the kitchen layout, altering the deck area, introducing a
               new maître d’ station to accommodate an autonomous food service system and removing the poker
               machine room. It is noted that Council has resolved to explore a new policy to strengthen its role
               in reducing gambling-related harm by establishing guidelines for the use of electronic gaming
               machines (EGMs) on council-owned and trustee land.
               The locality and proposal plan are included below.
