CLARENCE CITY COUNCIL – PLANNING AUTHORITY MATTERS- 4 JUNE 2012 55
5.2. Location of the Bins and Water Tanks
It is suggested by the representor that the proposed location of the water tanks
and rubbish bins will result in them being closer to the residential development
than the current location. The representor was concerned that this will result
in a “localised polluted atmosphere”. It was suggested by the representor that
they should be located along the same boundary that they were previously
(eastern lease boundary).
� Comment
Currently the water tanks are located on the eastern boundary of the
Club’s lease area. It is proposed to extend the building to this
boundary and as such the water tanks and bins need to be relocated.
The rubbish bins are currently located approximately where they are
proposed under the application.
The proposed relocation will see the water tanks moved from being
approximately 35m from the dwelling to the east and approximately
50m from the nearest dwelling to the north of the site to being
approximately 45m from the nearest dwelling to the north and
approximately 70m from the nearest dwelling to the east of the site. As
such, the water tanks will in fact be further from residential dwellings
than they currently are.
In any event, the vegetation currently on-site would have a similar
impact upon the existing views from surrounding properties.
The proposed location of the water tanks and rubbish bins meets the
Use and Development Standards for the Recreation zone and as such
should be approved.
6. STATE POLICIES AND ACT OBJECTIVES
6.1. The proposal is consistent with the outcomes of the State Policies, including
those of the State Coastal Policy.
6.2. The proposal is consistent with the Objectives of Schedule 1 of LUPAA.
