REPORT
1.   BACKGROUND
On the 13 October 2008, Council issued a development approval (08/0890) for a Retail Business
Type 2 – Shop & Salon with a total gross floor area of 85m2. The applicant subsequently undertook
building works without Building or Planning approvals and increased the total use area to 185m 2
(see Attachments 1-3).

Following town planning and building compliance action, the applicant subsequently applied to
Council for approval to make the existing floor space compliant with the Building Code of Australia
(BCA), as well as pay a contribution in-lieu of providing on-site carparking for 6 spaces totalling
$135,732 for the increased shop use areas.

A report on this original proposal was discussed at the 26 May 2015 Planning & Organisation
Committee meeting and was recommend for refusal for the following reasons:
