        Proposal details

        The proposal being made is for a food and drink outlet in association with the current development
        approval for a shop. The proposed development does not involve any change to the external built form
        with only an internal fit out being required for the use (refer Attachment 2).


        While the application is for a new food and drink outlet, the current shop use will be maintained under the
        current development approval (TPC 1957). This will provide for some future flexibility for the uses within
        the tenancy, consistent with the intent of the planning scheme.


        The food and drink outlet will be takeaway only with standing area only provided for customers to wait on
        pickup and to order. The proposed hours of operation will be 11am to 7pm, seven (7) days.


        Fronting the tenancy is a walkway which is about 2m in width and does not provide sufficient area for tables
        or chairs. The use area is confined to the existing floor area within the tenancy, which is shown on the
        proposal plans provided (refer Figure 2). This figure provides a comparison of the existing and proposed
        floor areas.


        The key development parameters include:
             •   existing gross floor area (GFA) - 48.5m²
             •   existing use area - 44m² (excluding walls)
             •   proposed GFA - 48.5m²; and
