Council Minutes 16 April 2007 - Waratah-Wynyard Council

Planning Authority Reports
The proposal is therefore considered to be consistent with the acceptable
solution for delivery of goods under the Planning Scheme.
Issue 2.0 Building Appearance and Street Character
Within the Waratah Wynyard Planning Scheme 2000, the objective is:
‘To ensure that building appearance from public streets is visually
compatible with surrounding development and maintains pedestrian
amenity’.
It is proposed that the building to enclose the hydrotherapy pool will be a
single storey building – 5 metres high at the highest point – and is to be built
to the north, south and western boundaries. The proposal is within the
Business & Civic Zone and the surrounding area has a number of buildings of
similar appearance and size to that proposed and therefore is in keeping with
the surrounding buildings on Goldie Street. The exception is the residential
dwelling to the west of the proposed development is set back approximately 4
metres from the street boundary.
The application also details an awning similar to that of the abutting eastern
veranda appearance.
The proposal is therefore considered to be consistent with the acceptable
solution for building appearance and street character under the Planning
Scheme.
Issue 3.0 Infrastructure Provision
The objective is:
To ensure that the cost of providing infrastructure to new development
is not borne by the community.
The Council’s Director Engineering Services requires a condition of approval
that all costs associated with the development are be at the developer’s
expense.
Issue 5.0 Amenity of existing residential development
The objective is:
To ensure that use and development protects the amenity of residential
use or development abutting the Business and Civic Zone.
This Planning Scheme standard is not applicable to the neighbouring
residential use as both properties are within the Business and Civic Zone.
