servicing the site and that damage to pumps does not result, and also to ensure the safety
of the patrons of the Majestic Theatre is upheld.

Objection 11

   11. Obviously we have no idea when construction will take place and how long it will
       take, or how much noise/pollution will be involved. Theatre events are sometimes
       booked 12 months in advance. How are we meant to plan ahead for construction
       and operational works to take place? We could risk legal action from customers if
       we try and cancel pre-booked events and also if noise/pollution adversely affects
       performances.

Applicant’s Response

In response to Objection 11, the Rolton’s are more than willing to work in conjunction with
the Majestic Theatre to mitigate, as much as possible, acoustic generated by on-site
construction work relating to the development of the Pomona Service Centre.
Furthermore, the development of the site will comply and conform to Council’s conditions
of approval, specifically, adhering to hours of construction.

Objection 12

   12. How is a volunteer run community theatre meant to survive income losses which
       would be very likely to occur during this phase?

Applicant’s Response

In response to Objection 12, the Rolton’s feel this objection is based on pure assumption,
and they welcome the Majestic Theatre to produce budget forecast information to support
this claim. As expressed in response to Objection 11, the Rolton’s are more than willing to
work with the Majestic Theatre to ensure minimal disturbance to the theatre occurs.

Objection 13

   13. Is there any compensation in place for this?      Not a flippant question, as such
       income losses could create genuine hardship.

Applicant’s Response

In response to Objection 13, the applicant’s acknowledge this objection raised by the
submitter; however, this objection has no relevant to the proposed development. If this
were the case, all adjoining landowners to development sites could seek compensation.

The Rolton’s were tolerant and understanding whilst renovations works to save the
Majestic Theatre were undertaken back in 2006/2007. In this regard, construction workers
would park on the Rolton’s land, and a dividing fence was removed, and was not reinstated
for a period of over three (3) months, exposing the Pomona Service Centre to security
risk.

Objection 14

   14. In a phone discussion between our President, Robyn Jones and Senior Town
       Planner, Danya Cook of Murray & Associates, Danya stated that efforts are made
       to ensure that new buildings confirm to the style/character of adjacent heritage
       listed sites. However, we won’t know what the materials are until the building
