MCU12/0012 Notice of submission Ruth Berlin

        vehicle, a fe-fuelling truck would be required to enter the site on a regular basis to provide
        additional fuel. Insufficient information has been provided regarding these practices.


        Section 14.21 Specific Outcome 60 Hours of Operation
        The proposed hours of operation indicated within the application do not comply with the
        Acceptable Solution S60.1. Council are entrusted by the residents of the local area to limit
        the hours of operation to those stated within S60.1. Furthermore, the applicant has
        indicated that only 2 tours will be conducted during daylight hours, being 9:00am and
        1 :30pm.At the very minimum, if Council determine that approval should be given then this
        needs to be conditioned to ensure increased traffic along Tablelands Road is only going to
        occur during these hours.




In addition to the above, it is believed that the Public Notification has been conducted incorrectly
and not in accordance with section 16 of the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009. The
notification sign has been placed on the entry gate to the property and no proposal plan has been
provided, refer to attached photo. This has significantly adversely affected the awareness of the
existence and nature of this application for the public and heavily restricted the opportunity for the
public to make properly made submissions.

Moreover, the start and end dates for public notification differ from the information on PD Online.
The date of the acknowledgement notice is the 15 February 2012, therefore if no information
request is required (which cannot be determined as no further information is available on PO
Online) 10 business days from this dale, public notification can commence. This would mean
notification should have commenced on the 29 February 2012. However, working back from the
end date of the 19 March 2012, public notification commenced on the 27 February 2012. It is for
these reasons that public notification needs to be restarted and conducted in accordance with the
provisions under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and the Sustainable Planning Regulation
2009.


In conclusion, the proposed development located at 298 Tablelands Road, Cooran is considered to
be consistent development within the area, however the applicant has provided insufficient or no
information regarding various significant sections of the planning scheme. Further information is
needed to ensure that the proposed development does not detract from the amenity


If you have any questions regarding the above, please do not hesitate to contact myself on the
abovementioned details.




Yours faithfully
