GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES                                             12 AUGUST 2024


                      3.     The proposed development will provide substantial community
                      benefit and will not cause any adverse impacts on the amenity and
                      character of the area.
                      4.     The proposed development accords with reasonable community
                      expectations, given the significant number of submissions in support that
                      have been received.
                      5.     There will be significant environmental benefits for a car wash to
                      be provided in the location, resulting in an opportunity to improve water
                      quality entering local waterways, including Lake Macdonald.
                      6.     A car wash is for the commercial washing of vehicles, which is a
                      complementary use to the existing service stations in this location, which
                      will result in the sharing of facilities and reduced traffic movements.
                      7.     Conditions can be imposed to address any issues raised by
                      submitters about the hours of operation of the development.
              The motion lapsed for want of a seconder.

              Moved:            Cr Amelia Lorentson

              That the matter be deferred to the Ordinary Meeting dated 15 August 2024 to
              allow the applicant's consultant to discuss traffic issues raised with Council's
              traffic consultant.
              Carried unanimously.
