CLARENCE CITY COUNCIL – PLANNING AUTHORITY MATTERS- 4 JUNE 2012 50
3. PROPOSAL IN DETAIL
3.1. The Site
The site is a regularly-shaped lease area on the eastern side of the cul-de-sac
end of Clifton Beach Road and fronts onto Clifton Beach. There is an existing
Surf Life Saving Clubhouse on-site with associated car parking. The existing
clubhouse is a 2 storey building with storage and changerooms on the lower
level and an open clubroom and deck area on the upper level.
3.2. The Proposal
The proposal is for additions and alterations to the existing Surf Life Saving
Club at Clifton Beach.
It is proposed to increase the ground floor area by 231.7m² from 258.9m² to
490.6m². The new floor area will be drive-through storage. It is also proposed
to amend the layout internally but not to introduce any new uses (it is noted
that this element does not require Building approval).
It is proposed to increase the upper floor area by 144m² from 185m² to 329m².
The kitchen is to be relocated out to the northern side of the building, toilets
will be installed where the kitchen was and a small office and archive will be
located at the eastern end of the floor. The maximum building height will
remain at 6.65m and the flat roof form will not be altered.
A lift will also be installed on the western side of the building to meet the
current Disability Discrimination Act requirements.
There is currently room for 15 car parking spaces (with a gravel seal) within
the lease area which is sufficient to satisfy Section 8.1 of the Planning
Scheme. This was also considered appropriate construction by Council’s
Engineers.
It is also proposed to relocate the water tanks from the eastern boundary of the
leased area to the north-western corner of the building.
