REPORT
A report on this application was prepared for the Planning and Environment Committee meeting
on 6 October 2020 and was subsequently referred to the General Committee meeting on 12
October 2020. During the course of discussion at the meeting a number of Councillors considered
it was reasonable to relocate the existing character building to allow for the development of a
medical centre on the site as it provides a health and wellbeing service to the community.
The recommendation of the General Committee was as follows:
That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment Committee
Meeting dated 6 October 2020 regarding Application No, MCU20/0027 for a Development Permit
for Material Change of Use - Commercial Business - Type 2 (Medical) involving Building Work
associated with the relocation of a building within a Heritage Character Area and Development
Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot (4 lots into 2) situated at 45 and 47a Maple Street and 9 Myall Street
Cooroy and request a further report be presented to the Ordinary Meeting dated 15 October 2020
with an alternative motion for approval.
Staff have considered the issues raised by Councillors, but confirm the previous recommendation
to refuse the application. Should Council wish to approve the application, a motion has been
drafted for that purpose, and is for a Development Permit.
However, it is suggested that Council only issue a Preliminary Approval as the conditions require
some redesign of the building to better meet the scheme’s character requirements and address
service vehicle provision. In this way, the applicant would be required to lodge amended plans
with Council demonstrating compliance with the conditions before obtaining a Development Permit.
