PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                      11 DECEMBER 2018


On this basis, we would respectfully submit that the current and proposed nature of site operations does
not alienate or interfere with the use of the land for industrial activities, and instead represents a modern
industrial land use that leverages on the attributes of site production activities.
It is disagreed the land use represents a modern industrial land use but is considered an Entertainment
and Dining Business Type 3 - Bar.
(b) results in the application applying to a new parcel of land;

Applicant’s response:
The proposed changes do not result in the application applying to a new parcel of land.

Assessment:
Agree
(c) dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance;

Applicant’s response:
The proposed change enables the use of an internal room within the building to be used for both production
and entertainment uses. The co-locating of these uses will not affect the built form of the approved
development.
The use of the outdoor area for the purposes of a children’s play and supervision area will only require the
installation of fences and the inclusion of translucent roofing over an existing pergola. The change will not
involve the erection of walls or additional shade structures.
The proposed changes will not result in a scale, bulk and appearance that is significantly different from
what was original approved and will not result in altering any aspects of the development that may impact
the character of the local area.

Assessment:
The roofing of the northern pergola and a children’s play area will not significantly change the scale in
terms of built form, bulk or appearance.

(d) changes the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended;

Applicant’s response:
The proposed changes will enable the development to operate as originally intended as discussed within
Council during prelodgement discussions for MCU16/0133 and OPW16/0247. The repurposing of some
areas for a combined production and entertainment uses will still be within the intention of the existing
development permit.

Assessment:
The Entertainment and Dining Business was approved to operate subordinate to the industrial business
on site. The approval limits the Entertainment and dining business to 120m² with no use of the outdoor
area facing Venture Drive and limits operating times for product release events to ensure the use is
subordinate to the industrial business.
The repurposing of some of the industrial floor area will significantly increase the scale of the
Entertainment and Dining Business component and physically reduces the scale of the industrial
businesses area.
Given the increased scale and nature of the Entertainment and Dining component, it is considered these
changes will inhibit the Entertainment and Dining use to operate subordinate to the industrial business.




(e) removes a component that is integral to the operation of the development;
