2.3 Background
 •   On the 26 March 1970, Council issued an approval for a shopping complex to be constructed
     in stages.

 •   In June 1971, Council approved Stage 2 for a building fronting Thomas Street, which consisted
     of 2 shops and a residence to the upper floor. As stage 3, Council, in February 1980 approved
     a Town Planning Layout (TPL 15) for the erection of an additional shop and offices to the
     development. Shops and offices did not require Council approval at the time. However, the
     TPL was issued ensuring the development complied with the provisions of the planning scheme
     in force at the time.

 •   On 25 September 1996, Council approved (04999 TP) a restaurant on the ground floor of the
     building fronting Thomas Street and the residence on the upper floor changed to be used as
     an ancillary space for the restaurant with a condition stating “The first floor does not have
     approval for dining or cooking facilities”.

 •   On 2 March 2006, Council approved alterations 132005.575 (2005/0575) to enable the
     restaurant to expand to the upper floor which was previously not approved for the use of dining.
     As part of this approval the applicant was required to pay contributions in lieu of car parking
     as it was determined there was insufficient car parking onsite for the additional restaurant floor
     area.
