PASADENA DA - PANEL SAYS NOThe Northern Beaches Independent Assessment Panel - North refused the DA for the Pasadena in its assessment published today. Please find the full text of the determination below:Refurbishment, BCA upgrade and fitout of the existing building in order to achieve a licensed restaurant and motel accommodation and the construction and use of a new day spa At: 1858 PITTWATER ROAD, CHURCH POINT NSW 2105 (Lot 142 DP 752046) Decision: That the development application be refused for the following reasons:- 1. The panel considered the issue of existing use rights for the purposes of Part 4, Division 10 of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 (NSW) and concluded that the subject land does not enjoy the benefits of “existing use rights”. 2. The proposed motel use is prohibited within the B1 Neighbourhood Centre Zone under PLEP 2014. 3. The application is unsatisfactory in that the parking demands are not met on the site having regard to the shortfall in existing and future parking demand in the Church Point Locality, and particularly in peak demand periods. 4. The application is unsatisfactory in that it has not adequately addressed the requirements of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000, as submitted information has not provided information that specifies the maximum number of persons proposed to operate the development as a whole. 5. The application is unsatisfactory in having regard to Section 79C (1)(c),(d) submissions made in accordance with the Act or the regulations and (e) the public interest. NOTES 1. This determination was taken under delegated authority on behalf of the elected Council pursuant to Section 377 of the Local Government Act 1993. 2. An applicant may under Section 82A of the Act, apply to council to review this determination. 3. Section 97 of the Act confers on the applicant who is dissatisfied with the determination of a consent authority a right of appeal to the Land & Environment Court exercisable within 6 months after receipt of this notice. 4. Any person who contravenes this notice of determination of the above mentioned development application shall be guilty of a breach of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act, 1979, and shall be liable to a monetary penalty and for a restraining order which may be imposed by the Land and Environment Court. CHURCH POINT PARKING CHANGES PLANNED TO BE IN PLACE BY CHRISTMASCouncil today confirmed to the SIRA Executive in a meeting that the Traffic Committee adopted the final recommendation for the changes to parking arrangements (Stage 1), and that these, including those in the current (old) car park, will be in place by Christmas.This will mean that the Church Point Parking Permit exclusive parking in one row of the car park will be in force from 6 pm to 6 am every day. This should create some relief for us during the busy holiday period. The parking conditions for the other rows in the car park will remain unchanged until the new car park is ready for use. Changes to parking in the Church Point Streets will also be introduced, however roadworks will be required to complete all changes, which means these changes will take longer to be introduced. MIDDLE ELSIE STREET GRANT APPROVEDNot long ago SIRA submitted a grant application with the NSW government for the restoration of middle Elsie Street Track. A grant of $15,000 has been awarded! We owe our gratitude to Bill Gye for making the application as one of his last actions while he was SIRA President.The committee will form a project group to manage the project and will welcome input and help from residents to make this a success.
