form in terms of scale, bulk and
appearance

Illustrations (Appendix C) the proposed lightweight
structure is of a design and scale that is appropriate for
the site and complements surrounding development. The
structure positively contributes to the streetscape. The
change enables the area to be used during climatic
events.

 

Changes the ability of the proposal to
operate as intended

The internal reconfiguration of the restaurant and
lightweight shade structure do not alter the use as
intended.

 

Removes a component that is
integral to the operation of the
development

As demonstrated within Table 3, the reconfiguration of the
dining area has resulted in a credit of 2.4 carparking
spaces. This is a result of the significant reduction in
internal dining area.

The provision of a lightweight shade structure will enable
patrons to enjoy the site’s subtropical location. The
proposed minor changes will not alter the operation of the
developments.

 

Significantly impacts on traffic flow
and the transport network, such as
increasing traffic to the site

No significant impacts will be as a result of the proposed
Minor Change application. The proposal incorporates a
significant reduction in dining area as part of the
reconfiguration internal restaurant area.

 

Introduces new impacts or increases
the severity of known impacts

The structure is designed in a manner so that there is
unlikely to be any adverse impact on the amenity enjoyed
by residents and visitors, including impacts associated
with:

visual and acoustic privacy,

safety and security, and

lighting.

The lightweight shade structure will continue to promote
the use of the outdoor dining space, providing interaction
between the uses on site and the public realm. The shade
structure provides a response to the subtropical
environment of the locality.

The proposal is appropriately scaled when viewed from
the beach or surrounding public areas.

 

Removes an incentive or offset
component that would have
balanced a negative impact of the
development

The Amended Use Area Plan (Appendix B) significantly
reduces the indoor dining area. The indoor and outdoor
dining areas are being reduced by 37m and 4m
respectfully (Table 1).

Table 3 below demonstrates that the existing carparking
infrastructure supports the reconfiguration of indoor and
outdoor dining areas

 

Impacts on infrastructure provisions

 

 

The proposed lightweight shade structure will not impact
upon any infrastructure network.

 

As demonstrated in the above table, the proposed amendment to Condition 4 and the approved
plans comply with the definition of a Minor Change.
