     That Council note the report by the Coordinator Engineering & Manager, Planning &
     Environment to the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting dated 12 July 2016
     regarding Application No. OPW15/0194 for a Development Permit for Operational Works –
     Vehicle Access and refuse the application for the following reasons:
     1.   The proposed works do not meet Planning Scheme Policy No. 5 Engineering Design
          Standards – Roads, Drainage and Earthworks for a road, as the proposed gradient is
          excessive.

          for users of Hoop Pine Road.
     3.   The proposed works will require excessive maintenance to ensure all weather access
          for slip resistance and adequate functioning of the stormwater drains and result in an
          unreasonable imposition on Council.
