Applicant’s Justification
The applicant has provided the following comments in relation to the proposed Restaurant
use:-
“The restaurant/café is to be located on the ground floor adjacent the lobby to the
upper floors of the building and is proposed to be approximately 33m 2 in area.
The restaurant/café’s opening hours are subject to the specific tenant’s wishes, though
it would be expected that as a minimum the café or restaurant would operate from
7.30am – 3.00pm providing coffee’s, drinks, snacks and lunches."
The applicant has provided the following comments in relation to the parking associated with
the proposed Restaurant land use:-
"In considering this request we ask that the City have due regard for the following key
points:
The proposed restaurant (i.e. café) is small in scale and unlikely to generate a
significant level of demand for on-site car parking;
The proposed restaurant (i.e. café) is aimed primarily at catering for the day-today
needs of the local workforce in the Osborne Park Industrial Area. Given this
‘localised’ catchment area it is reasonable to expect that many customers will in
fact walk to the premises thereby alleviating some of the demand for the car
parking bays proposed to be provided on Lot 96;
It is contended that the proposed restaurant (i.e. café) is incidental to the current
approved predominant use of Lot 96 (i.e. ‘industry general’). As such the number
of on-site car parking bays proposed to be provided (i.e. 11 bays) is considered
sufficient to accommodate the car parking demand likely to be generated by the
current and proposed uses;
