PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                     26 MAY 2015


As part of the development application, the president of the Car Club initially included written
support for the RV stop, subject to the following:
   Any on-site caretaker would be able to access the existing amenities building for personal
     use, with Council maintaining and cleaning the amenities building and contributing to power
     and water costs;
   Council undertaking mowing and ground maintenance of the open space;
   The stopover will be closed to the public when the club holds its annual car show and other
     events, which requires access to the open space; and
   Continual consultation with the club.
The Combined Coastal Car Club has subsequently lodged an objection during the public
advertising period (refer to public notification details).
The Pony Club is also supportive of the application, dependent upon their right to continue using
the RV stop area 3 times per year for overflow parking when gymkhanas are being held.

The 16.43ha site has a split zoning, with the northern portions of the site heavily vegetated and

River Rd are included within the Open Space Recreation zone, while the middle portions of the
site, where the RV stopover and dump point are proposed, zoned for Community Services (see
