GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                   12 NOVEMBER 2018


The amended plans are supported as the changes soften the built form particularly to Wattle
Street and better reflect Cooroy’s character. Changing the access from Wattle to Garnet Street
will retain the mango tree, assisting in preserving Wattle Street streetscape character. Whilst the
original proposal accessed via Wattle Street, further assessment has occurred and it is
considered acceptable for the development to gain access from Garnet Street, given there is
minimal traffic generation associated with the development. The proposed changes do not vary
the existing proposed setback, site cover or height provisions as originally presented to Council.
As a result of the amended plans, new conditions are proposed. These changes are summarised
as follows:
1.     Amendment to Condition 2 (approved plans table) to include the new revised drawings and
       include a building material palette sheet.
2.     New Conditions, 14, 15 and 16 with regard to the retention and long term health of the
       mango tree and consequential amendment to Condition 33.
3.     Amendment to Condition 24 to change vehicular access from Wattle Street to Garnet
       Street and consequential amendment to Condition 22.
CONCLUSION
Amended plans have been provided in response to Council concerns with the design of the
development, the proposed access and the proposed removal of the existing mango tree. The
amended plans provide for the retention of the mango tree, access from Garnet Street rather
than Wattle Street and improved built form. The proposed changes are supported as it is
considered that the improved design provides for the preservation of streetscape character to
Wattle Street.
