A review of the application material, including Council’s Acknowledgement Notice dated 10 November 2016
and the Development approval, identifies that the development application did not require referral to any
entity as identified within the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009.

A review of the Planning Regulation 2017 identifies that if the development were to be remade including the
changes the application would not require referral to any entity. Therefore, in accordance with Section 80 of
the Planning Act, notice of the change application is not required to be given to any affected entity.

2.         BACKGROUND

2.1.       Approval Background

On 17 February 2017, a Development approval was issued (MCU16/0133 & OPW16/0247) for a Material
change of use for Industrial Business Type 2, Entertainment and Dining Business Type 1 and Ancillary
Dwelling Unit, and Operational works for Earthworks, Stormwater, Driveways, Parking, Erosion and
Sediment Control, Landscaping and Signage.

2.2.       Proposed Change Overview

The application seeks to amend aspects of the approved development relating to the following:

       >   Allowing for the periodic holding of functions, educational and tasting events in that part of the
           premises predominantly used for Beer and Spirit production activities as identified in the proposed
           new drawing as ‘Flexible function / entertainment / promotion /industry area’ on Plan HRP18103.001
           Schedule of Use Areas (Refer to Attachment B);

       >   Using the area marked as ‘Covered area for outdoor seating’ for Entertainment and Dining Business
           Type 1 purposes; and

       >   Creating a space beneath the existing rainwater tank in the location shown on Plan HRP18103.001
           as ‘Children’s play area under tank platform’ to be utilised for a children’s play and supervision area.

Currently, the approved plans provide for a production area on the southern side of the premises. The
production area has a useable area of approximately 630m2, however only a small part of this available area
is currently utilised for production purposes while the business is in its early stages. Over time, and in
response to growing demand for product, further fermenters, vats, canning and packaging and other
production equipment will be accommodated within the production area (refer to Concept Staging Plan for
Future Operational Expansions - Attachment C). It is noted that these staging plans are not issued for
approval and are solely intended to demonstrate the likely expansion of production on the site over time.

Given the large and underutilised production area available, the balance area not currently used for
production purposes is proposed to be used intermittently for functions and beer tasting/educational events.

It is submitted that the proposed changes are minor in nature and are consistent with the scale, nature and
operational parameters of the original approval. In particular, we note that:
