                  The proposal is to develop the existing 3 x 1 bedroom units at 106 Pacific Avenue for an
                  extension to the adjoining hostel at 102 Pacific Avenue. It is proposed to use the building for
                  an additional 24 beds with the existing car park at the front of the site utilised for car parking.
                  The existing common facilities will be utilised by the occupants at 106 Pacific Avenue.

                  It is noted that the existing managers’ residence is to be re-located to the new building and
                  replaced with beds for the purpose of visitor accommodation.

                  Due to the connection with the existing backpackers the proposed development requires
                  amendment to the current approval for 102 Pacific Avenue (132007.2446). Accordingly an
                  ‘Other changes’ application is required, this application should also address the changes to
                  the existing building and the new facility on the adjoining property at 106 Pacific Avenue.

                  The proposed use of 106 Pacific Avenue for visitor accommodation is an inconsistent use and
                  therefore an officer will make a recommendation on the application with the final decision
                  being made by Council.

                  The following documents should be included as part of an application:

                       Ø Planning report;
                       Ø Operational Management Plan (including details of hours of operation, staff numbers,
                         use of common facilities and shuttle bus operation)
                       Ø Acoustic report
                       Ø Waste Management Plan; and
                       Ø As the site is bushfire prone area: response to Natural Hazards Overlay Code should
                         be included with application

                  The planning report should include assessment of the development against the Locality Code,
                  Visitor Accommodation Code and the Car Parking and Driveways Code Bicycle parking
                  facilities should also be reviewed.

                  The application fee for an ‘Other changes’ application is the same as for a new Material
                  Change of Use application, in this instance a fee multiplier will not be applied for the
                  inconsistent use.

                  As the new visitor accommodation rooms rely on the existing common facilities on the
                  adjoining lot the lots should be amalgamated, if the application were approved a condition
                  would require the amalgamation of the lots.
