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 Planning Act allows an applicant to seek a pre-request
response notice from Council before making their change application to the Planning and
Environment Court. Under the Planning Act changes to Court Orders where submissions were
previously received can only be made by the Court.
The owner of the site is looking to modify the current freight arrangements for the business
operating on the site. Currently the number of vehicles is restricted by condition 5C as per the
judgement ref: 4884 of 2014:
     5C.   Trucks attending the site must not exceed a total of 8 trucks per day and must not
           include B-Doubles.
The current owner wishes to alter this condition to allow additional trucks to the site per day,
proposing to differentiate volumes based on the completion of the upgrade works to Cooroy
Mountain Road.
The applicant seeks to re-introduce condition 5B (with some amendment) and change condition
5C to now read:
     5B.   Prior to the Council completing the staged upgrade works to Cooroy Mountain Road,
           weekly Trucks shall be limited as follows:
           a)    60 Trucks (namely all semi-trailers, tankers and other trucks, but excluding B-
                 doubles) per week
