Dear Blake,
RE: Response to Information Request relating to a Change to Approval (other than a minor change) to
MCU17/0002.01 to include Short-term Accommodation
I refer to Council’s Information Request issued on 14 May 2021 in relation to the above-mentioned application.
In accordance with Part 3 Section 13 of the Development Assessment Rules and the Planning Act 2016, we herby provide a
response to the items raised in the request as detailed below:
Issue
For the justification for PO6 of the Driveways and Parking Code, Council requires the likely numbers of users for the use.
Meaning the total number of guests that each dwelling unit will have.
Information Required
1. Provide additional justification for PO6 of the Driveways and Parking Code indicating the number of users the Short-
term Accommodation will have.
Response
The proposed short-term accommodation use is not intended to allow for any greater number of persons to be
accommodated onsite than would reasonably be accommodated within the existing Duplex.
The existing duplex contains 1 x 3 bedroom unit and 1 x 2 bedroom unit, having a total of 5 bedrooms. It is considered that 2
persons could reasonably be expected to be accommodated in each bedroom. Therefore, the use would have a total of 10
persons to be accommodated onsite at one time. Our client would be satisfied for a condition to be imposed to this effect.
As detailed in the original application material, the proposed use would have no additional demand on vehicle parking to that of
the existing duplex development. It would also provide sufficient parking having consideration to the type and intensity of the
use and the likely number and type of vehicles to be generated by the development in accordance with PO6 of the Driveways
and Parking Code.
Issue
The application has indicated that a code of conduct will be used to ensure that no negative impacts to the surrounding area
will occur. Since the premises consists of swimming pools, it is requested that the applicant provide an indication of what the
‘house rules’ will be for the outdoor entertaining areas / swimming pools to ensure no negative impacts to the surrounding area.
