PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                 7 SEPTEMBER 2021


The proposed shade structure is to be located with a varying setback between 4.6 to 6 metres from
the front boundary to Gympie Terrace and 3 metres to James Street. Whilst the approved outdoor
dining area is 15.5m2 it is reasonable for the extent of shade structure be larger than this area to
accommodate shade around the perimeter of the area. It is also noted that the 15.5m2 of dining area
detailed on the approved plans is comprised of 2 separate areas therefore it would not be possible
to cover these areas without exceeding 15.5m2 of coverage. The proposed shade structure will not
be inconsistent with outdoor dining areas within proximity of the site which also include varying forms
of shade structures located between the building and the front boundary.
A site inspection was undertaken to assess the potential impact on view lines, this inspection
included assessment from a first floor balcony at the adjoining property to the west. The following
photographs demonstrate that the structure will impact on sight lines along Gympie Terrace and that
the view out to the river and towards the river mouth remain unimpeded. In this regard, the proposed
reduced front setback raises minimal impact.
