3. Development Application 10645/2019/MCU - Material Change of Use - Entertainment Use and Outdoor Recreation
Resolution: Moved by Councillor Sheila Ireland:
3. Development Application 10645/2019/MCU - Material Change of Use - Entertainment Use and Outdoor Recreation
This is a report concerning an application seeking approval for a Material Change of Use – Entertainment Use and Outdoor Recreation at 48 W M Hughes Street, and 22 W M Hughes Street, North Ipswich.
Specifically, the development proposal involves two (2) drive in theatre screens, a central entertainment hub, including putt putt mini golf, rock climbing wall, two (2) half basketball courts and a wet play area located in the central area of the site, between the two (2) drive in theatre areas, and a twilight/special event cinema with a grassed seating area.
There are a range of issues that have been considered in the assessment of the application which are detailed in this report; however the key issues are summarised as follows:
Land Use:
It should be noted that the current land use designation provides for a range of uses including the uses proposed as well as additional residential development on the land in question, however increases in flooding constraints on the land has led to the consideration of uses other than residential. There is no fundamental issue with the proposed land use mix.
Flooding:
The subject site is impacted by the adopted flood regulation line. However, the nature of the use is such that evacuation is easily achieved with multiple evacuation routes available. Conditions are recommended to be included to address this item.
Traffic:
The proposal has access to an adequate transport network to sustain its predicted traffic demand. Some works are required to the existing network to maintain safety and capacity and conditions are recommended to be included to address this item.
Amenity:
The proposal has been assessed in consideration of the potential amenity impacts from the use on surrounding residential. Whilst the immediate surrounding land uses are not residential in nature, there is both nearby existing residential as well as a potential for further residential development to occur in close proximity. Technical reporting has been provided demonstrating that the use can operate whilst maintaining residential amenity for existing and potential future residents. Conditions are recommended to be included to address this item.
Heritage Matters:
The site is listed on the Queensland State Heritage Register, as it contains part of the historic Mihi railway line and a sandstone railway culvert. While there is no rail infrastructure remaining on the site, the alignment is protected through easements traversing the site. Conditions are recommended to be included to address this item.
Brassall Bikeway Stage 6:
Through the course of the development application, the alignment for Stage 6 of the Brassall Bikeway has been finalised. Conditions of approval have been included to ensure this linkage can be delivered by Council and operate in conjunction with the proposed development.
General:
The proposed development has been assessed with regard to the applicable assessment benchmarks. The proposed development generally complies with the assessment benchmarks or can be conditioned to comply.
DECISION
Moved by Councillor Sheila Ireland:
Seconded by Councillor Kate Kunzelmann:
That Council approve development application no. 10645/2019/MCU subject to conditions as detailed in Attachment A in accordance with section 60 of the Planning Act 2016.
