REPORT

1.     Proposal
The applicant has requested Council provide a pre-request response notice to change conditions
of a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use for a Resource Based Bottling Plant
issued by the Planning & Environment Court. The proponent advises it wishes to significantly
reduce the scale of the approved operation and seeks changes to a number of the conditions that
attach to the Court Order (included as Attachment 2).
The applicant indicates the Cooroy Mountain Spring Water business will now operate as follows:
    Reduced operations from 5 days per week plus 5 Saturdays per year to 2 - 3 days per week;
    A reduced number of employees from 48 to approximately 3 - 4 staff (maximum of 10) and 3
     visitors at any one time;
    No longer manufacturing or distributing products for office water coolers;
    Reduced vehicle movements and access requirements due to the changes in manufacturing
     and hours of operation; and
    Changes to on-site effluent requirements as a result of the reduced number of employees
     and visitors.
The applicant originally sought changes to conditions 8, 9, 13, 15, 16, 18A & 18B in relation to
car parking, access relocation, development contributions and effluent treatment. During the
course of the assessment it also agreed to change conditions 5B, 5C, 5E, 5F & 5G relating to
truck movements, staff and operating hours and add two new effluent treatment conditions.
