MCU19-0132 Applicant's Response to Council's IR

d) The proposed indoor gymnasium is appropriately sited away from any sensitive uses. The closest
sensitive use is approximately 40 metres away (caretakers’ units within 20 Venture Drive). It is noted that
members utilising the gym’s facilities from 6:00PM onwards (6 persons/hour maximum) is significantly less
than during the peak times (8:00AM and 3/4:00PM). As such, the likelihood of the indoor gymnasium
impacting upon the amenity of the closest sensitive use is unlikely.

Furthermore, it would be expected that the amenity of the closest sensitive use is more likely to be
impacted upon by the nearby brewery and restaurant (Land and Sea) directly adjacent. The pub is
approximately 70 metres away and consistently has patron numbers which exceeds their current
approval. The pub holds functions and entertainment 7 days a week till late.

    with S31.2 and S31.3 of the Business Uses Code.
