GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                       15 JUNE 2020


       All car parking arrangements and usage of car parking will be the responsibility of the Body
        Corporate to manage and maintain. Visitor’s spaces on the site for the commercial
        component and residential component will be allocated to the Common Property and will be
        managed by the Principal Body Corporate. It is noted that car parking is well in excess of the
        minimum requirements and will achieve compliance with Condition 33, which states
        “Carparking shall be provided within the site generally as shown on the approved plans”. We
        note that the facilities building will be primarily used by residents, but may also include
        external visitors. Council have conditioned the commercial component with 5 staff spaces
        since circa 2015. The condition also specifies “Visitor and staff carparking, including all at
        grade car parking situated between Blocks 2 and 3 must be maintained in common property
        and be available to all units.”
       Condition 33 outlines that car parking is required to be generally in accordance with the plan
        of development, and Council had not previously conditioned any restriction on the locational
        requirements for the commercial component.




        The 5 staff car parking spaces have been allocated within an alternative location between
        Blocks 6 and 9. All 5 staff car parking spaces will be maintained on the site. However, these
        spaces may from time to time be relocated based on the uses evolving and/or fluidities of car
        parking arrangements, which will be monitored and managed by the body corporate. Please
        refer to TTM Consulting Traffic Engineering Assessment which has determined that a
        reduction to the Commercial car parking spaces is appropriate in the circumstances within
        Appendix C.
Assessment of Request
The carparking condition was altered under the previous minor change application, as the
application sought a change to the internal layout of the Resort Facilities Building. The changes
included a significant increase in gross floor area (GFA) of the restaurant, which included an
increase of 26m2 (from 78m2 to 104m2) to the indoor dining area and an increase of 71m2 (from
114m2 to 185m2) to the outdoor dining area. The application also approved a change increasing
the GFA of the gym by 48m2 and the convenience shop by 5m2, with a reduction to the office of
7m2, minor GFA changes to other approved uses, and the complete removal of a proposed ‘waiting
and treatment room’.
It is also noted that over time, the applicant (through a series of minor change applications) has
increased the number of units likely to be used for permanent accommodation, and reduced the
number of units likely available for short term resort accommodation, which has implications for
the car parking for the resort facilities.

As the development was originally for a Resort, it was considered that a majority of guests would
be arriving on the site in one vehicle. However, as the development has transitioned from short-
term to predominantly permanent accommodation, Planning Officers have concerns regarding the
