RE: Minor Change Request – 132000.465.2 (20789 DA) – Outdoor dining area

Proposal

The proposal seeks some minor changes to the development approval. The applicant
indicates that changes with online gambling (TAB) and Peregian Beach demographics
have resulted in changes in patronage and use of the hotel. The patrons would prefer
better dining areas incorporating the outdoor areas, rather than indoor areas catering to
the traditional sportsbar.

As a result, the changes are largely cosmetic to the entrance of the hotel and include:

    •     Internal renovations to change the shape of the bar in the bistro area;
    •     A cantilevered 2.3m wide corflu carbonate awning covering the front walkway;
    •     A relocated 6m² designated outdoor smoking area (DOSA);
    •     Additional 60m² of outdoor dining area to the front of the hotel;
    •     New landscaping to the front of the site.

Background

On 27 February 2003, Council approved a material change of use for a Hotel and
Commercial Service (TAB) and an Environmentally Relevant Activity.

On 22 January 2004, a change to the development approval condition 8 was approved.

On 1 August 2007, a change to the development approval condition 5.2 was approved and
related to the hours of operation and noise limits.

Minor Change Test

An assessment against the meaning of minor change and a response about the proposed
application is provide below. The Planning Act 2016 defines a minor change as a change
to the approval that:

        i. would not result in a substantially different development*;
               (*In determining whether the proposed change would result in substantially
               different development, the assessment manager or referral agency must
               consider the individual circumstances of the development, in the context of
               the change proposed.)

Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules set outs provisions for a substantially
different development. A change may be considered to result in a substantially different
development if the proposed change results in any of the following outlined in Table 1
below.
