Town Planning Report - GSLC MCU Maintenance Sheds and Fence · MCU25/0099

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



          In summary, the proposed development seeks to provide two maintenance sheds (Sheds B & C)
          beside the eastern boundary. These sheds replace existing maintenance sheds in this general
          location. These sheds are separated by 3m of landscaping with a minimum of 2m of landscaping
          provided along the eastern boundary consistent with the Community Facilities Zone Code (AO29).

          The proposed maintenance sheds have been designed to have the lowest height of the roof closest
          to the boundary and rising away from the residential properties. Further, the doors of the
          maintenance sheds face away from the adjoining residential properties and are therefore likely to
          have less impact on the amenity of the adjoining properties, when compared to the existing sheds.
          The proposed maintenance sheds are required for the continued operation and ongoing needs of
          the GSLC.

          With respect to the proposed sports shed (Shed A), this shed will not have any impact on the amenity
          of neighbouring properties and is located clear of the existing sewer easement. Further, the proposed
          new 2.4m high acoustic fence will replace the existing dilapidated fence that currently exists along
          the northern boundary, which has a similar height in part and will be partly screened by existing trees
          and additional landscaping. This acoustic fence will provide improved noise mitigation and privacy
          for the adjoining residences, in circumstances where a minimum height of 1.8m is required under the
          planning scheme.

          The proposed development either complies with the Community Facilities Zone Code and other
          relevant assessment benchmarks or can be conditioned to comply. The proposed development
          provides for much needed infrastructure for the GSLC on a site that is designated specifically for that
          purpose. The proposed development is also consistent with the current preliminary approval
          (MCU23/0096) and the associated Master Plan and should be approved subject to reasonable and
          relevant conditions.
