 Information                                                                   PLAN
 (Provided by Applicant)


 4. ADVICE & INFORMATION
 Planning                        Officer Name – Denis Wallace
    The applicant seeks to make amendments to the approved development (known as RSL
    Care Cooroy) to reflect its preferred retirement housing and aged care products. An
    indicative layout plan was provided.

      In regard to whether the proposed amendments to the approved development could be
      considered as a permissible change under the Act, the following aspects should be
      considered/addressed:
      - Population density should remain consistent with the existing approval
      - There should be no significant increase in built form with respect to height, site cover,
          gross floor area, setbacks or the like
      - Possible impacts due to the relocation of the aged care facility to the Pearsons Rd
          frontage from traffic, deliveries, heavy vehicle reversing manoeuvres, staff
          movements, built form, streetscape and the like on adjacent residents

      All residential dwellings were described as 2br + study but with a contractual requirement
      for no more than 2 permanent residents.

      Detailed plans at application stage should address building envelopes within residential
      “lots”, landscaping provision for the site overall, changes required via existing conditions of
      approval, pedestrian connectivity through the site to the new bus stop and staging.

      The new bowling green facility was described as being for residents only, covered and
      with low level lighting. As such, it would not be considered a separate use.

      New specialist reports will be required for Noise, Stormwater Management & Treatment
      and Traffic.

      Council staff are available to meet further or provide feedback prior to application
      lodgement to consider detailed plans and/or submissions regarding how the applicant
      considers the proposal meets the test for a permissible change under the Act.

 Civil Engineering                          Officer Name - Mark Lewis
      The applicant will need to update the reports/plans for Traffic, Stormwater Management
      and Treatment to reflect the new proposal and be in accordance with current standards.

      It is suggested that the Traffic report:
       make comparisons with the previous approval in regard to traffic movements and
               access locations
       include comment on the proposed access from Pearsons Road and the relationship to
               existing intersections.
       Main Roads requirements at the intersections of Pearsons Road and Lamonts Road

      It is also noted that a truncation of the corner of the site at the intersection of Pearsons
      Road and Elm Street is required.
