                        Figure 10: Modification to the existing landscaped area

2.   BACKGROUND
   In June 1987 development approval TPC1900 was issued for a multiple dwelling of 12 x 2
     bedroom units (capable of being let as a multiple dwelling of 12 x 1 bedroom and 8 x 2
     bedroom accommodation units), 8 shops and a restaurant.
   In November 1987 a Building application was lodged which included the provision of 20 self-
     contained units and 11 shops. Advice was provided to the applicant at the time that
     assessment of the building application could not proceed as the proposal plans did not
     accord with development approval TPC1900. Amended building plans were submitted in
     February 1988 along with an amended Town Planning application (TPC2021).
   On 15 March 1988 development approval TPC2021 was issued for a Multiple Dwelling of 20
     units, 8 Shops and 2 Restaurants. The original approval included:
     o     For Lot 1 on BUP8884, a total use area of approximately 334m2, of which approximately
           237m2 is internal to the building;
     o     an area of approximately 97m² as open terrace/outdoor dining, external to the building;
           and
     o     a landscaped area between the open terrace/outdoor dining and the northern property
           boundary.
   On 3 April 1996 a Building Permit was granted to create a new access to the premises directly
     from the Main Beach boardwalk. The new access area was not approved for outdoor dining
     purposes.
   On 18 December 2000 a Building Permit was granted for landscape works between the open
     terrace/outdoor dining area and property boundary. The subject area currently includes
     artificial turf and pre-existing trees only, contrary to the approved plan. Modifications to this
     area are proposed through this current minor change application.
   On 17 October 2013, Council issued an Outdoor Dining Permit as a ‘trading area approved
     for 9m² of Footpath Dining Area’ for an area located external to the property, between the
     property boundary and the Main Beach boardwalk. An Outdoor Dining Permit for an area of
     8.708m² remains current. This area is not subject to and/or impacted by the proposed
     changes.
