Letter to NC Requesting Changes to Development Approval 16 September 2016 · 132004.240098.6

 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”



The client has advised that the pergolas that have been constructed have not been enlarged since the
development was first built with some clear sheet roofing being added to the pergolas fronting
Gympie Terrace. It is understood that while some of the pergola structures might marginally exceed
10% of the area of the terrace, they are all about the same size and are generally in accordance with
the approved plans. That is, it is the areas of the roof terraces themselves that differ causing the
purported non-compliance.

In any event, the pergola’s are open structures, do not constitute GFA and are not a storey under the
planning scheme. Collectively, the pergola structures do not add to the appearance of building bulk,
and cannot be viewed easily off site and have little impact if any on the streetscape.

It is requested that the condition be amended as follows:

The rooftop pergolas are to be generally in accordance with Plan No. 2.903.5C prepared by Andrew
McKellar Design and date stamped 15 June 2005 and designed as cantilevered structures with only 2
support poles and slopping open slatted roof.

Condition 38

Council has advised that some of the car parking spaces have been enclosed by garage doors and a
gate and that the development is currently not complying with the approval. The condition requires
a minimum of 17 visitor spaces to be available for general public use for the shops and restaurants. A
copy of the approved plans showing the carparking for the development is provided as Attachment
1.
