We have no presentations nor do we have deputations so we're moving on to an item referred from committees and there is one of those. It's item 7.1. It's a material use 210154.02. Application for a minor change to development approval for a home-based business meat processing facility at 82 Patterson Drive, Tinbeerwah. And we welcome Patrick, and we welcome Richard, and we welcome Andrew from the development control team to the table. And Andrew, give us an overview.

That's it. Thank you. Council is in receipt of an application for a change to a approval for Material Change of Use, home-based business, meat processing facility at 82 Patterson Drive, Tinbeerwah. The change request relates to a number of the development parameters which were applicable to the site when Council gave the approval back in 2021. I'm not sure if everybody is aware of the approval, but the approval given in 2021 relates to the processing of deer meat at the site. The current approval allows for up to 10 deer be processed at the property once a week. So they are the sort of general parameters which are applicable to the site. The only other issue relevant at the moment is that only one person and resident of the site can occupy and undertake the Homebased business use. So that's the current sort of set up. The applicant has requested a change to the approval to allow up to two additional employees to assist at the site, to approval the mainly because the physical handling of the current approved number of deers to be processed at the site is allowing too much, it's too labour intensive for the owner and the applicant, so they would like to have an additional up to two people to assist during the permitted hours of operation, which are between 8 and 5pm Monday to Friday. Thank you. So the actual amendment would require a change to number of the conditions of the approval to allow that to occur, as well as to allow that to occur between the hours of 8 and 4pm Monday to Friday. So at the moment the property is located within the rural residential zone and it occurs at an existing shed at the property located in the northwest corner of the property. So the shed is located approximately 15 metres from the road frontage and is accessed by one driveway battle axe handle to the rear of the site. Upon review of the relevant sort of matters and impacts relevant to the site, this would involve an additional two car parking entrance, two vehicle car parks. Movements vehicle movements in the morning to access the rear of the site to undertake the assistance of the shed and then the leaving of the property in a total of four traffic movements per day at the site. Upon review of the application requested changes, it is recommended that the changes be approved. And that the two additional staff members be allowed between the hours the applicant has also requested an extension of a lapsing date, which is relevant to the site as well. Council had originally conditioned that the approval. Be reviewed after a two-year period, and that was applicable to the 17th of December last year. That was requested by the applicant to be removed from the approval. The removal of that condition is not recommended, but extended for an additional two-year so on a four-year basis. Up until 2029, but that's right.
