The report addressed a range of issues including the sites split zoning, the potential odour impacts of the nearby sewage treatment plant, bushfire risk, ecology, carparking and built form. The officer’s recommendation was to approve the application on the basis that the odour impacts had been satisfactorily addressed and matters relating to bushfire, ecology, carparking and built form had been suitably addressed. The matter was referred to the General Committee Meeting dated 17 July 2023 at which time a motion was put forward to refuse the application. The motion was successful, and the application was recommended for refusal. On 19 July the applicant stopped the decision-making period until 29 September 2023. As this was done prior to the Ordinary Meeting of 20 July 2023 Council was not able to finalise a decision on the application. The decision-making period recommenced on 29 September 2023. The applicant has not amended the layout of the proposed development however has provided several written submissions which have included an analysis of the submissions made during the notification period, a letter from a solicitor reviewing the proposed grounds of refusal, and a further letter from the applicant’s planning consultant seeking to justify grounds to support the development. The officer recommendation remains in support of the application, it is recommended that condition 13 of the original recommendation, which required guests to be advised of the potential for odour from the sewage treatment plant, be deleted.
