2.3 Background
32 Maple Street – the site has been historically used as a CBA bank.

34 Maple Street – On 21 December 2017, Council approved a Material Change of Use for
Entertainment and dining business Type 1 – Food and beverage MCU17/0530.

As part of this approval, conditions were imposed to decontaminate the road reserve in front of the
site which contained 2 x 4,500 litre subsurface petrol tanks and 1 petrol bowser. These works have
been undertaken and Council contributed some of the cost of the decontamination and removal of
this service station infrastructure.

As a direct result of the decontamination and removal of this infrastructure in the road reserve
associated with the service station use at No. 34, 6 additional car parking spaces were provided to
the front of the site.

Figures 3 demonstrates that in 2008 and 2011 an island and no other car spaces were available
except for 1 parallel car space, while the petrol bowser was operating. After the bowser was removed
7 spaces (including a disabled space) were available resulting in a net gain of 6 car spaces because
of the service station infrastructure removal as per conditioned as part of MCU17/0530.
