REPORT
1.   PROPOSAL
The application seeks approval for a Material Change of Use of premises for an Industrial
Business – Type 1 Warehouse for a self-storage facility. The site contains an existing
industrial shed, which is to be converted to self-storage units over two levels. A further 3
storey building is proposed in two stages over a vacant part of the site. The initial stage of
the new building is at ground/basement level, with upper floors proposed as the final stage.

The storage units are a mixture of sizes, ranging in area between 1.6m 2 and 30m2 and also
ranging in height. Loading docks are provided at the front of each building and vehicle
circulation routes are provided through the lowest level. A small on-site management office
component is included in the existing building on the site.

Access is proposed via two driveways off Rene Street, with an existing western driveway
providing access to the majority of the development via the rear. Six formal parking spaces
are proposed at the frontage of the development, with further loading and parking
opportunities throughout the development for customers accessing the storage units.
