PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                     21 JULY 2015


Bicycle lockers
A condition is recommended to provide lockers for the development.
External Works
The Transport, Roads and Drainage Code require footpaths be upgraded to appropriate
standards for new development. The car parking and kerb level adjacent to the site in the road
reserve is approximately 0.5m lower than the existing footpath and the battered bank is currently
a pedestrian and vehicle hazard. Significant frontage works are required to construct a new full
width footpath to marry into the existing car parking and kerb levels. This includes the
relocation/reinstatement of existing underground services and transition works extending beyond
the sites frontage.


4.     CONSULTATION
4.1. Other Referrals
The application was forwarded to Unitywater and the following internal Council specialists:
     Engineering Officer
     Infrastructure Planning and Design Officer


5.     CONCLUSION
The proposed building design is not a traditional Federation or Art Deco building style but is
considered a contemporary commercial design consistent with the Planning Schemes intent for
Cooroy’s business centre. The proposed ‘public thoroughfare’ easement is recommended as an
alternative to a land acquisition to allow the applicant use of the land until future planning is
undertaken for Wimmers Lane. The proposal is recommended for approval subject to conditions.
