Figure 3 – Zoning Plan

While Commercial Business uses such as the IT Business Hub are not normally consistent uses in the
Community Services Zone, there is support for this use under other provisions of the planning
scheme that seek to allow this type of use from 215 to 253 David Low Way, which includes part of
the subject land. Consequently, this use is generally supported at this location. Having regard to the
conclusions in this report, the level of need for the proposed IT Business Hub at this location is
significant.

The proposed new Community House development is to be located in the Open Space Recreation
Zone. The Community House is a consistent use in this zone, which means that use is supported by
the planning scheme. It is noted however, that the proposed Community House would also be
subject to impact assessment.

Having regard to the above, subject to compliance with the other relevant provisions of the planning
scheme, both the proposed IT Business Hub and new Community House are generally supportable at
this location.
