Dear Glenn,

RE:     REPRESENTATIONS ON CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL – 5 GARNETT STREET, COOROY -
        (MCU 16/0012)

Further to our letter of 31 August, 2016 suspending the appeal period and pursuant to S361, we now
lodge the following representations on conditions of the approval. Separate representations as may be
required will be made with respect to the Infrastructure Charges Notice.

1.    Condition 10- “Delivery vehicles and associated activities must be limited to between 7:00am to 6:00pm
      Monday to Saturday and not permitted on Sunday or public holidays”.
Representations- The condition is sought to be amended to allow for limited deliveries of perishable items
such as bread and milk on a Sunday and public holidays. This will allow the facility to provide fresh product –
7 days per week. The condition is sought to read- “Delivery vehicles and associated activities must be
limited to between 7:00am to 6:00pm Monday to Saturday. Deliveries are not permitted on a Sunday or
public holidays with the exception of bread and milk deliveries.”

2.    Condition 25- “Ten (10) bicycle parking spaces, 5 lockers and 1 shower cubicle with ancillary change
      room must be provided for the development. Three (3) bicycle parking spaces may be provided within
      the lower level/basement car park”.
Representations- We seek that the requirement to provide a shower cubicle be deleted. Specific Outcome
31 of the Business Uses Code states that “provision of appropriate end-of trip facilities including bicycle
parking and shower/change rooms”. Contemporary provisions for end-of trip facilities are contained within
the Queensland Development Code (QDC) - Section 4.1. Under those provisions, end-of- trip facilities are
only required for those developments having a floor area greater than 2000m2. The development at 1326m2
falls well below this threshold. Further, the anecdotal experience of the business proprietor for similar stores
in the Noosa area is that shower facilities are not used. This is most likely due to the scale of the premises and
therefore limited staffing numbers. The provision of shower facilities for a development of this scale is
therefore not considered appropriate.
