Council Meeting Briefs - 4th February 2020

Unlawful Building Works – 111 Knowlman Road, Run-O-Waters

Consent was refused for a shed constructed without development consent at 111 Knowlman Road as it:

- The proposal does not satisfy Part 1 Section 1.3(g) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 as it does not promote good design and amenity of the built environment
- The proposal does not satisfy Part 1 Clause 1.2 of the Goulburn Mulwaree Local Environmental Plan 2009 “GMC LEP 2009”: (g) which seeks to establish a framework for the timing and staging of development on certain land in Goulburn and Marulan
- The proposal does not satisfy the objectives of Part 6.8 of the Goulburn Mulwaree Development Control Plan “GMC DCP 2009” which sets out the objectives of large lot residential – zone R5.
- The proposal does not satisfy Part 6 Section 6.8.4 of the “GMC DCP 2009” which states ‘Garages are to be located behind the building façade so that they do not dominate the streetscape.’

Council will now continue with compliance action and issue an order for demolition, as well as issuing a penalty infringement notice of $6,000 to the owner.

Potential Purchase of land for Hockey Facility

Council authorised Mayor Bob Kirk and the General Manager to continue negotiations with the Goulburn Workers Club in regard to the purchase of up to 3.71 hectares of land at the Workers Arena (Finlay Road) that would allow hockey to remain at the existing site.

Council also acknowledged the substantial differences in variations received by both Council and the Workers Club, and will now encourage the Workers Club to have a third valuation undertaken by an independent valuer agreed by both parties, where both valuations can be peer reviewed to determine a valuation acceptable to both parties.
