18 165-171 MILTON STREET, ASHBURY: MODIFICATION OF CONSENT FOR
PERMANENT USE OF A TEMPORARY CALL CENTRE WITHIN A TYRE
WAREHOUSE
• The existing tyre warehouse and office complex has approval to operate from
7.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday. This consent was modified to permit a 12
month trial period to include the call centre component to operate between
5.30pm and 7.30am seven days a week with a maximum of two employees.
• The applicant seeks approval to continue operating the call centre between
5.30pm and 7.30am on a permanent basis. Our records show that no complaints
or incidents have taken place during the previous 12 month period.
• The modification proposed by the applicant was notified in accordance with
the requirements of our Notification Policy. One submission and a petition
signed by a total of 23 people from 20 households was received. The objections
raised include noise concerns, parking, breaches of consent and permissibility.
• The applicant had previously submitted an acoustic engineers report in support
of DA-170/2007/A which related to a 24 hour call centre operation at the site.
The acoustic report was also used in the trial approval granted for DA-
170/2007/C for this call centre. As this proposal does not alter how the call
centre operates as outlined in the acoustic report and the fact that no complaints
have been recorded during this period, our reliance on this report for this
application is acceptable.
• The Director City Planning has recommended the application be approved
subject to conditions.
