Town Planning Assessment Report

2.      PROPOSAL

This development application seeks approval for a Development Permit for Material
Change of Use for Transport Use - Type 3 Depot.

Specifically, the proposal relates to seeking a retrospective approval for a shed that
was constructed by the previous land owner of the site.

The existing shed has a total floor area of 536m2 and a height of 7.8m and has been
constructed for the purpose of a covered vehicle storage area. The land on which
the shed is sited was previously used as an open storage yard as part of an
approved transport use. The proposal does not intensify the existing use in this
regard. The building will utilise the existing infrastructure within the site for access and
operation purposes and no further building or operational works is required to carry
out the use.

Vehicular access to the shed will be maintained via the existing sealed crossover to
Nandroya Road located in the northeast corner of the site.


Please refer to Appendix A – Proposal Plans for further details on the design.
