That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the General Committee Meeting dated
14 January 2019 regarding Application No. 132006.268.03 for a Pre-Response Request for a Minor
Change to Conditions of Approval situated at 314 Cooroy Mountain Road, Cooroy Mountain and:
A.   Advise the applicant that Council does not support the proposed change to increase truck
     numbers as:
     1.     The proposed changes do not constitute a minor change under the Planning Act 2016
            as the changes would result in a substantially different development.
     2.     The proposal would have a detrimental impact on Cooroy Mountain Road and the
            residential amenity of properties along the truck route.
     3.     The proposal is not consistent with the Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality Code as
            it would have adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users of adjoining and nearby
            properties.
B.   Advise the applicant that Council would support a change to the development approval
     subject to additional conditions 5A5B, B1, B2 and B3 being included and condition 5C, 8 and
     9 amended as follows:
     5B.    Prior to the Council completing the staged upgrade works to Cooroy Mountain Road,
            weekly trucks shall be limited as follows:
            (a) 40 water carrying trucks (namely all semi-trailers, tankers and other trucks
                  carrying water but excluding B-Doubles) per week;
            (b) 20 ancillary trucks (namely non-articulated trucks and non-water carrying trucks).
     5C.    After the Council has completed the staged upgrade works to Cooroy Mountain Road,
            weekly trucks shall be limited as follows:
            (a) 50 water carrying trucks (namely all semi-trailers, tankers and other trucks
                   carrying water but excluding B-Doubles) per week;
            (b) 25 ancillary trucks (namely non-articulated trucks and non-water carrying trucks).
            Note: The road upgrade referred to is the upgrading of the remaining 2.2. kilometres of
            Cooroy Mountain Road to provide two (2) 3.5 metre wide traffic lanes with a 1.0 metre
            wide sealed shoulder to a total formation width of 9.0 metres.
     8.     The applicant must undertake improvement works to the existing site access to Cooroy
            Mountain Road to the reasonable satisfaction of Council. The intersection between
            Cooroy Mountain Road and the site access must be designed and constructed to
            provide safe turning areas for the vehicles likely to use the access and passing
            opportunities for other road users. The works must:
            a.   be generally in accordance with drawing number R01 - Revision C prepared by
