               The applicant has requested existing condition 66 be deleted. The applicant indicates that all

               imposition. Furthermore, the applicant indicated that there is a recommendation for a shelter in

               Evacuation Plan (BEP) was submitted as part of the original application. The BEP was designed
               to assist management to protect life and property in the event bushfire threatened the proposed
               development.
               Councils Senior Environment Officer reviewed the original BEP and indicated that the document
               aimed to establish pre-planning guidelines for evacuation of the premises where there was a need
               to relocate personnel from one place to another to enhance the protection of those people. The
