MCU24/0084 Material Change Of Use - Function Facility – 658 Louis Bazzo Drive, Ringtail Creek · Attachment 4 - (MCU24/0084) - Operational Management Plan

            1. Introduction
            Louis Bazzo Pty Ltd, located at 658 Louis Bazzo Dr, Ringtail Creek 4565 is looking to cater for weddings and events on its
            private property.
            The Venue Owners are seeking to create a wedding / event space that includes the erection of a 10x30m permanent
            marquee and plan to operate in a manner which respects and maintains the peaceful natural environment. This
            Operation Plan sets out the operational requirements that will be complied with for any wedding or function carried
            out at Louis Bazzo Pty Ltd.
            The responsibility for events will always be maintained by the land-owner/s to ensure its use is consistent with any
            development approval conditions and activities outlined in this Operational Management Plan.

            2. Management
            The venue will be managed by Simon Skerrett and his highly experienced team. Simon started in the weddings and
            events industry as a side project in 2019 after a background in finance where he launched and ran a successful finance
            business for the agriculture industry.
            Simon established wedding & events venue Rosewood Estate Pty Ltd at Beechmont in the Scenic Rim region of SEQ as a
            greenfield project after viewing the land and realising its potential. The property is rurally zoned and an MCU for a
            wedding and events venue was applied for and granted. The first two years of operation were extremely challenging
            with covid hitting as Rosewood Estate was launching. Rosewood has since gone from strength to strength and is now
            one of the top venues in SEQ hosting 80-90 wedding per year, with busy months booked nearly 2 years in advance.
            As testament to its attractiveness, the Scenic Rim Council recently held their launch event in Rosewoods 10x30m
            permanent marquee, celebrating 10 years of the Scenic Rim Eat Local month. Local Mayor Greg Christianson praised
            Rosewood Estate for its representation of the Scenic Rim and all its beauty.
            The local town of Beechmont can’t speak highly enough of the venue as it provides much needed visitors to the area on
            a weekly basis, filling local accommodation and cafes with paying guests and customers. Simon and the team at
            Rosewood work closely with neighbours and have never had any issues with noise, which is monitored closely at each
            event. The venue directly and indirectly employs many locals and people from the region.
            Rosewoods google reviews provide some insight to the experience couples have when hosting their weddings at
            Rosewood, with many proclaiming their time at Rosewood Estate with family and friends to be one of the most
            memorable.
            Simon is currently in the process of setting up a sister venue to Rosewood called Sarabah Estate Weddings based near
            Canungra in the Scenic Rim.
            Simon’s management team that assist him operate under the business The White Stag and manage a further 5 wedding
            and events venues, providing invaluable experience, data and insights into the industry.

            3. Use
            The venue will predominantly be marketed as a wedding venue though will host other events such as long lunches,
            wellness / nature retreats & corporate retreats.
