Att 6 - Existing MCU

               4     CONCLUSION
               The proposed nightclub use does not conflict with the intent of the Strategic Plan or the
               Planning Scheme. It merely seeks a cabaret licence to permit amplified music for
               entertainment purposes. Noise emanating from the premises will comply with both the
               requirements of the Liquor Act and the Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 1997, and it
               is therefore considered that the use is unlikely to adversely affect the amenity of surrounding
               residents and commercial ventures. Furthermore, sufficient carparking exists on site to
               accommodate the nightclub use during its proposed hours of operation.
               The proposed nightclub use is considered suitable for the location and will complement the
               existing restaurant approval.
