33.    The proposed extension will maintain the existing maximum height of 9.8 metres and the appearance of
       two (2) storeys (refer to Figure 8 below and proposal plans prepared by Zenith Design within Appendix
       I). It is noted that the design of the approved entry façade for the Wimmers Factory has been changed to
       reflect a more subtle design, and represent a more modern industrial land use.

35. The proposed development will be connected to all necessary infrastructure, including, water, wastewater,
      electricity and telecommunications services in accordance with the approved development permits (refer
      to Appendix II). In addition, the extension will not result in an increase in vehicle movements per day,
      which will be undertaken in accordance with the approved maximum of 10 trips per day for heavy vehicles
      (refer to MCU13/0171).

36.    The subject site currently comprises four (4) existing access driveways to Lake Macdonald Drive (refer to
       Appendix III). As part of the proposed extension, existing Gates 2 will be retained as the main access
       point with Gate 3 proposed to be upgraded in accordance with Council standards and requirements (refer
       to Figure 9 below). Gate 2 will continue to provide for truck and staff access only, whereas the proposed
       use of Gate 3 will be limited to visitors. Figure 9 also demonstrates that the proposed extension will
       provide for additional vehicle parking, resulting in a total of 91 vehicle parking spaces (refer to proposal
       plans prepared by Zenith Design within Appendix I).
