advertised similar plans in August 2020<\/a>, including scaled-down plans following community objections to land use near a Ramsar-listed wetlands site.<\/p>\nNewly advertised plans include a Cultural Heritage Management Plan dated April this year alongside a host of other documents form the 2020 application.<\/p>\n
The proposed development is at 65-105 Lings Road, Connewarre, opposite 13th Beach Golf Links properties and where the southern end of the road meets Murtnaghurt Lagoon.<\/p>\n
Planning documents indicate the facility would accommodate up to 80 people for breakfast and lunch at the restaurant, with a neighbouring children’s farm and other activities to keep younger patrons entertained.<\/p>\n
Landscape architects Tract, submitting designs on behalf of the applicant, said its plan would deliver an “integrated, low-scale tourism offering” for the area.<\/p>\n
“The proposed low-scale tourism operation that incorporates and preserves agricultural land use is entirely consistent with both planning policy and strategic direction for the site,” the report stated.<\/p>\n
“This will provide for tourism opportunities in line with regional competitive strengths, while also diligently responding to the significant environmental values that constrain the site.”<\/p>\n
Planners said their proposal would primarily convert existing buildings for new uses to deliver its idea.<\/p>\n
The site presently includes a machinery shed, shearing shed and house, which plans would incorporate into landscaping and farm activities to create the new centre.<\/p>\n
Revised plans fist submitted in June 2020 removed a “major new building” in the middle of the property and reduced the restaurant from 180 patrons to 80, with hours cut from 7am-10pm down to a 4pm finish.<\/p>\n
The function centre is also proposed to operate at reduced hours \u2013 the original 11am-midnight proposal is down to 6pm to midnight \u2013 but would be bumped up to 200 patrons from 110.<\/p>\n
A second car park and drainage infrastructure was also removed in the watered-down plans.<\/p>\n
Tract has also provided assessments for impacts on biodiversity, environmental noise, storm water management and traffic as part of its application, alongside the new CHMP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
