2017-08-17 Ordinary Meeting Agenda

ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                            17 AUGUST 2017


      the club for persons with disabilities (PWD) are to remain primarily with the use of the
      adjacent PWD spaces to the entry. Consistent with the peer review report, patrons who
      have difficulty with stairs may utilise the pedestrian prioritized pathway within the basement
      to ensure equitable access to the club remains possible.
It is acknowledged that a significant component of the proposed changes are in response to the
property occupier seeking a functional layout and are generally considered to be of little
significance to the presentation of the overall development.
However, the proposed removal of the lift and the re-location of car parking for persons with
disabilities (PWD) are of concern. Without a lift, PWD will be required to either access the
premises via stairs or exit the car park to Doonella Street to access the premises via Memorial
Avenue. Persons in wheelchairs will only be able to access the premise by exiting the car park to
Doonella Street. Furthermore, the alteration of the pedestrian access pathway within the
basement appears to only service a section of car spaces. Whilst it is noted that there are 5 PWD
car spaces and an access ramp within the Memorial Avenue frontage the access arrangement
associated with the 2 PWD car spaces in the basement is unsatisfactory and not supported.
Notably, the traffic peer review identified that the lift to the foyer needed to be provided in Stage 4
of the development. The approved development is identified as ‘Stage 4’.
Accordingly, it is recommended that a new condition be added to read:
       45.    A lift must be provided for patrons to access the RSL from the basement car park.
A number of the proposed changes also result in significant amendments to the elevations of the
development.
Attachment 3 highlights some of the significant changes on the elevation plans.
Whilst the proposed changes result in the elevations being altered it is considered that they do
not have a detrimental effect on the overall presentation of the development. The most significant
change is the alteration of the roof above the gaming extension from a hipped-roof to a pitched
roof. The amended elevations and perspective views of the development identify that the
proposed changes are reasonable and maintain the key design elements of the original approval.
