1. OVERVIEW

This report has been prepared on behalf of Nicole Hogan for the purpose of obtaining material change ofuse approval for conducting a home based business at 43 Glenpark Street, North Mackay(LOT2RP712722).

The site access to the proposed development is located off Glenpark Street in Mackay. The area onwhich the proposed development is intended to be located is 787m

2. The proposed development is

located within the Urban Residential Zone of the North Mackay City Council Planning Scheme. Existingsite structures include a class 1 residential dwelling and associated class 10 shed.

This report addresses the applicable town planning reporting requirements for the proposed materialchange of use development. It starts by defining the particular zone and precinct for the development andexamines some of the terms and definitions likely encountered. It then goes on to provide the level ofassessment required and addresses each of the applicable specific outcomes of the Home BasedBusiness code in full to illustrate compliance.

3.0 TOWN PLANNING SCHEME AND OVERLAY MAPS

3.1 Town Planning Interpretation & Definitions

"Home-based business" means any premises being part of a dwelling unit or its curtilage used for abusiness by a resident of the dwelling house where:

i. the area occupied by the use (including storage areas) does not exceed 30% of the total floor areaof the dwelling house and 10% of the area of the lot on which the dwelling house is located, with amaximum area of 80m

2occupied by the use; and

ii. employs no more than 2 persons who do not reside at the premises.

3.2 Town Planning Area Intent

The Mackay Frame Locality Code states that the overall outcomes sought for the Urban Residential Zone

are as follows1:

the overall outcomes for the Urban Residential Zone are:

1. Development in the urban residential zone protects the high level of amenity of the zone and1. Development in the urban residential zone protects the high level of amenity of the zone and

comprises predominantly single dwellings.

2. Residential development is either located on land suitable for the use or is designed such that

residents are not put at serious risk of loss of life or property damage.

3. Residential development is subservient to the coastal landscape of the Pioneer River (Urban)

and McCready's creek precincts.

4. Residential development is designed and constructed to improve accessibility and mobility for4. Residential development is designed and constructed to improve accessibility and mobility for

all groups in the community to services and facilities

5. The interface between urban development and important ecosystems, economic and social

resources is characterized by buffers to protect the amenity of urban areas and ensure that

the:

a. integrity of the ecosystems is retained; and

b. activities of valuable resources is not impeded by encroaching developmentb. activities of valuable resources is not impeded by encroaching development

6. No residential development does not adversely affect the residential amenity of zone.

7. Residential subdivision includes, as appropriate to the scale of the development, a multi-

functional network of open space incorporating bikeways and any remnant vegetation.

6.0 SUMMARY

As demonstrated in the above report the proposed home based business development comply with all the

planning codes which are required to satisfy code assessment. The proposed development does not seek

to increase the density of the existing on site structures but instead seeks to diversify its use to be able to

use part of the existing shed as a home based business for the purposes of providing the community with

nail and beauty treatment services on a small scale.

We therefore request that council approve this application with reasonable conditions.
