If the Club’s vehicle were to be located within the gated basement parking area (located approximately
50 metres from the Surf Club Tower), this would significantly increase emergency response times.
Accordingly, it is considered the best use of the two car parking spaces located adjacent to the north-
western corner of the existing building is for Surf Lifesaving purposes only.

Further, the applicant queries why the proposed Surf Club development is required to support the
carparking needs generated by staff from Council’s Tourist Information Centre. The development
approval pertains only to the "Redevelopment of SLSC & Toilet Block” and not the construction of an
Information Centre. In fact, the approved plans clearly state that the “Tourist Information Centre &
Public Toilets (do not form part of this application)”.

It is noted that the original development permit did not include the floor area of the Information Centre
as part of the carparking calculations, instead basing it simply upon the increase in commercial area of
the Club. Nor did this Development Permit include conditions requiring the dedication of parking bays
Information Centre staff members.

The applicant acknowledges that the two parking bays adjacent to the rear wall of the Information
Centre are well placed to practically provide parking for this facility, and accepts the dedication of these
for such purposes. However they consider Council's requirement for a third space to be located within
the subject site is not to be necessary. In this regard it is noted that the current Information Centre is
not supplied with carparking other than that within the public carpark to its rear, and accordingly the
proposal will still result in an overall increase in the availability of parking on the subject site.

Condition 9: The commercial operations on the site are restricted to the hours of 7:00am to 12
midnight, 7 days a week.

The hours of operation detailed by Condition 9 reflect the general operating times of the Club during the
majority of the year. However, over past-years, the Club has been allowed during peak periods (Friday
& Saturday nights during holiday periods, New Years Eve etc.) to operate up until! 2am. These
extended hours are subject to a separate approval from Council and QLD Liquor Licensing.

Accordingly, it is requested that Condition 9 be amended to allow this ‘peak period’ flexibility. The
applicant submits that the amended condition may reference the separate application process with
Council’s Environmental Health and QLD Liquor Licensing.

Condition 15: The northern deck area is permitted to operate between 9am and 12 midnight, seven
(7) days a week.

Given the hours of operation allowed by Condition 9 (ie. 7:00am to 12 midnight) it is requested that the
northern deck area be allowed to also operate in accordance with these. Further, it is requested that
the northern deck be subject to the ‘peak period’ operating hours as requested above.

The Assessment Manager's favourable consideration of the above development application is therefore
recommended. Please contact our office if you require any further information and/or clarification with respect
to the above application.
