Delegated Report - Code - Planning MCU26 0060 (As Published)
Criteria Planning Scheme Proposal Complies
• 10 metres from the
boundary of land in a
residential zone or the
Rural residential zone,
except for a Major
Sport, recreation and
entertainment facility
where there is a 50
metre setback;
Building Presentation and Visual Amenity
The park view elevation has not been confirmed and is indicative only at this point in time. Prior to
building works, revised elevation plan is to be provided to Council for endorsement.
The location of the shipping container shed will be positioned on an area of the site close to the
Lake Macdonald waterline, which is approximately RL 96 / 97 AHD. The nearest dwellings to the
west of Lake Macdonald Drive are more elevated, at approximately RL102 - 105 AHD or
approximately 5 – 9 metres above the intended shed location.
Based on the proposed height of the shed of approximately 3.0 metres, it is considered that views
from the west towards the Lake will still be maintained generally across the top of the temporary
shed such that existing amenity is not unreasonable impacted.
Hours of Operation
The proposed hours of operation are from sunrise to 9:30am and 3:30pm to sunset, seven (7) days
a week. A maximum nine (9) users at any one time will utilise the site with typical numbers being
four (4).
Operating hours from sunrise is of particular concern in the summer in considering the adjacent
residential properties.
Consistent with the prior approval hours were limited to 6.00am or after 6.30pm. A condition will
be imposed accordingly.
Car Parking
The number of car parking spaces required in accordance the Table 9.4.1.4 of the Driveways and
Parking Code states “sufficient spaces for the intended use”.
The submitted material confirms that a maximum of nine (9) participants will be present on site at
any one time, with typical training sessions involving no more than four (4) participants.
The existing parking capacity within the parklands and surrounding area is considered sufficient to
accommodate the proposed use without adversely affecting parking availability for other users, for
the following reasons:
a) The activity is limited to early morning and late afternoon periods, outside the peak demand
times for the parklands.
b) Rowing equipment will be stored on site and, therefore, participants are not expected to access
the site with trailers.
c) Ample parking is available within the parklands and along the adjacent road frontage.
Given the low-intensity nature of the activity, the absence of events, and the staggered arrival and
departure of participants, the proposed use is not expected to result in parking congestion, unsafe
vehicle movements, or the displacement of parking for other park users. The development is
considered appropriate in context of the site and proposed scope of operations.
