PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                      9 APRIL 2019


     Performance Bond
     23.   Security in the form of a cash bond or trading bank guarantee to the sum of $5,000
           must be submitted to Council, to secure performance of all conditions of this
           approval, prior to the issue of a Development Permit for Operational Works. The cash
           bond or trading bank guarantee will be returned on performance of the conditions of
           approval less any costs incurred by Council in respect of enforcing performance of
           this permit. Council reserves the right to call upon the bond or guaranteed sum to
           effect compliance with conditions.
B.   Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with the
     Planning Scheme:
     1.    Some sport and recreational uses are accepted in the Industry Zone given the
           potential impacts of sport and recreation uses; and
     2..   The fitness centre relies on a large floor area that can be facilitated in an Industry
           zone, unlike other zones where it would be difficult to locate.
C.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.


REPORT
1.   PROPOSAL
The applicant proposes to utilise an existing industrial shed and extend the shed in the future to
accommodate a fitness centre/cross fit training facility. The existing floor space is 271m 2
(including a mezzanine level) and the extension to the east is proposed to be 84m 2. An amenities
block with toilet and showers is to be located in a separate building from the existing building.
The total proposed gross floor area of 377m2.
The development proposes to include 13 car spaces, including 2 staff spaces and a disabled
space and 4 scooter spaces. The original proposal was for 20 patrons and 3 staff. This has since
been amended to allow for a maximum number of people (including staff) on site at any one time
as long as it complies with car parking. To comply with the car parking requirement a total of 15
people are proposed to occupy the site at any one time. The fitness centre proposes to operate
5am-9pm, 7 days a week.
Refer to Figure 1 – Proposed gym.
