2.   BACKGROUND
Council at its Ordinary Meeting on 16 February 2023 resolved to approve an application to
redevelop the site. At the time of the original application, the applicant was proposing to:
•    Remodel the existing single storey building, retaining the western shop tenancies,
•    Convert tenancy 3 into a food and drink outlet, and
•    Include an upper floor level comprising an office and a small food and drink outlet that
     included a terrace that opened up into the square to the east.
The applicant entered into an Infrastructure Agreement with Council to pay a contribution in lieu of
4 parking spaces reflective of the proposed increase in car parking demand.
