                                                         The first outcome seeks the provision of
                                                         medium to high density short term
                                                         accommodation. The existing use (dual
                                                         occupancy and commercial) does not meet that
                                                         intended outcome (nor does it provide any
                                                         compliant covered or uncovered carparking),
                                                         although it provides compliant site cover.

                                                         It does not make planning sense to redevelop
                                                         the site to deliver the same or similar built form
                                                         to that existing, which at best is low density
                                                         accommodation not medium to high as
                                                         intended by the code.

                                                         The development has been designed to ensure
                                                         the intended planning outcome for the Tourist
                                                         accommodation zone is achieved. However, it
                                                         is not possible to also deliver a vibrant mixed
                                                         use development outcome which activates the
                                                         street where limited to 45% site cover. This is
                                                         further exacerbated by the fact the upper
                                                         storeys are required to be setback from the
                                                         front boundary as illustrated in Appendix A –
                                                         Dwg DA17).

                                                         While exceeding the required site cover, it is
                                                         noteworthy that the proposal is commensurate
                                                         with the size and scale of the adjoining
                                                         premises which both exhibit site covers of 92%
                                                         and 74% respectively (refer to Appendix A -
