CR12.137 PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO CLANCY'S FISH BAR
PURPOSE OF REPORT:
To seek approval (as the Landlord) for building modifications at Clancy's Fish Bar, City
Beach to incorporate a new cool room and freezer.
BACKGROUND:
Clancy's Fish Bar lease an area of 1763 m² from the Town at a base rent of $79,553 per
annum, plus threshold rent based on turnover over the threshold. The lease expires March
2031.
Following completion of the fit out and alteration works for the café at Clancy's Fish Bar
(northern section of the premises), which opened for business on 18 December 2011, it was
noted that two portable temporary cool rooms remained on site. It was anticipated that the
two portable cool rooms would be removed once the building fit out and alterations had been
completed.
The Town issued a notice to the Directors of Clancy's Fish Bar notifying them to remove the
two temporary cool rooms and subsequently met with the Director's to discuss the issue,
where it was proposed to construct a permanent cool room and freezer, the subject of this
report.
DETAILS:
Since taking over operations, Clancy's have doubled the turnover and now require an
additional cool room and freezer space for their operations. They propose to construct a cool
room and freezer to seamlessly integrate into the existing structure, utilising the same
building materials.
The Town has been provided with drawings on 29 May 2012 (see attached) for approval by
Council under the lease and also to seek approval from the Western Australian Planning
Commission under the Metropolitan Region Scheme.
The modifications are to be constructed within the boundary of the existing lease area and in
this regard will have no impact over the existing lease agreement.
In addition, Clancy's have expressed a desire to undertake modifications to the car park,
footpath and landscaped areas forming the service area of the building to provide improved
amenity. However, the Town has suggested deferring any planning until a master plan for
the area is completed. This will be undertaken in conjunction with the Surf Club and
commercial facilities redevelopment project.
The application is supported as it would not detract from the amenity, is contained within the
lease area and will assist the operator to maintain a satisfactory level of service.
