3. DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION - 4335/2011/MAMC/E - CHANGE (MINOR) APPLICATION - EXTENSION TO OPERATIONAL PERIOD - WOOD MULCHING INDUSTRIES (WMI) SPECIAL INDUSTRY (WOOD MULCHING AND COMPOSTING FACILITY WITH ASSOCIATED SITE OFFICE, CARPARKING, LANDSCAPING, STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE AREAS)

This is a report concerning a request for a change (minor) application to amend the conditions of Development Approval 4335/2011/MAMC/D, specifically Condition 40 (‘Time Limit on Approval’). The proposed amendment seeks to extend the operational period of the existing development permit by an additional three (3) years.

Given the nature of this application as a ‘waste activity’, a formal recommendation is being presented to Full Council for determination.
