DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR AN EXTENSION TO AN EXISTING INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS (TYPE 2) –
SOFT DRINK FACTORY WITHIN AN EXISTING BUILDING
271 LAKE MACDONALD DRIVE, LAKE MACDONALD                                                                         13

25.    In respect of the above and the exceedance of 1.8 metres in height, it should be noted that the proposed
       factory will not appear more than two (2) storeys. Further, the proposal will be consistent with the subject
       site and the surrounding areas, whilst providing an outcome, which:

                 Does not visually dominate the street, surrounding spaces or skyline;
                 Retains existing vegetation; and,
                 Does not propose extensive excavation or filling.

26.    Based on the above reasoning, the proposed development will provide a significant improvement to the
       amenity of the subject site and surrounding area, based on the previous use of the subject site.

3.2.3 Business Uses Code, Probable Solution 14.2 (Amenity)
27. The proposed Wimmers signage will not comply with Probable Solutions 14.2, which specifies that the
      maximum sign face area of any single sign should not exceed 4m2 on any face. However, given the scale
      of the proposed development and subject site, the proposal is able to demonstrate compliance with
      Specific Outcome 14, as the proposed signage will be of an appropriate scale, proportion and bulk, whilst
      contributing to the overall design and amenity of the development.

3.2.4 Business Uses Code, Probable Solution 11.1 (Site Locality)
28. Probable Solution 11.1 specifies that the proposed development is to be located within the Industry Zone.
      Whilst, the subject site is identified as being within the Rural Zone, the proposed redevelopment of an
      existing industrial building demonstrates that the proposal complies with Specific Outcome 11.

3.3    Proposal Details
29.    As indicated previously, the subject application for a Material Change of Use is to facilitate an extension to
       the existing Wimmers Soft Drink Factory, as depicted on the proposed design plans prepared by Zenith
       Design (refer to Appendix I and Figures 5 – 8 below). Table 3 details the schedule of proposal plans
       applicable to the subject development application.

30.    As shown in Figure 5 below, the extension will be located in the eastern part of the existing industrial
       building. The remaining buildings and site area to the west will remain segregated for future uses.
