PLAN 1 STATUTORY PLANNER’S REPORT: CELLAR DOOR SALES AT 119

HENDERSONS LANE, GRAVELLY BEACH (STONEY RISE VINEYARD)

1) Introduction

This report assesses a discretionary planning application for hotel industry (cellar door sales) at 119
Hendersons Lane, Gravelly Beach. One representation to the proposal was received.

2) Background

Development application: PA2018027

Development Description
A cellar door sales building is proposed, to be roughly half way along the frontage of the lot and
setback 22m from it. It is associated with the Stoney Rise Vineyard which occupies the subject title
and another title across Hendersons Lane. Stoney Rise has an existing cellar attached to the
dwelling across Hendersons Lane – this will be closed and re-established in the new building
proposed. A 20 space plus over flow car park is located between the building and Hendersons Lane.
The building itself has an indoor area of approximately 100m2, with as much again as court yards
and a walled ‘entry lane’. There is a tasting and sales area, kitchen, storage and toilets. The design
is modern and angular and finished in a variety of materials - natural timber, concrete, clay bricks
and painted sheeting (colour ‘Monument’, a dark grey). The maximum height is 5.65m.

Applicant

 20 March 2018
4) Statutory Requirements

The application was made pursuant to section 57 of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993
(the Act). Determination of the application is a statutory obligation. The application must be
determined by 21 March 2018 to meet the statutory deadline under the Act.

The application was assessed against the relevant zone and code standards. The proposal complied
with the relevant standards, except for the identified discretions. The following discretions were
supported when assessed against the relevant performance criteria:

26.3 Use Standards (discretionary use)

E6.7.2 Design and Layout of Car Parking

A detailed assessment report is provided as Attachment 3 to this report. Assessment of the

requested discretions against the relevant performance standards supports approval of the
application.

5) Notification

The application was notified for the required 14 day period from 10/2/18 to 26/2/18. One
representation was received, from the neighbour to the west and south. Council must consider
representations to discretionary applications under both the Act and the Scheme.

Matters raised in the representation are addressed in the following table. A full copy of the
representations is provided as Attachment 4 to this report.

Issue Planning response

[all direct quotes] The building design is not
aesthetically pleasing to the rural landscape
where it proposed. It is too abstract in design.
With the roof line at a height of 5.175 mtrs it
will also add to it looking out of place. It will
tower above anything else in the vicinity of
Hendersons Lane. The covered vines and
three large water tanks sitting on the side of
the hill already are an eyesore to the
landscape.
The storm water from this building as well as
run off from the 20 car parking (plus over flow
parking) will create even more issues than
what we already have on Hendersons Lane.
The Holymans also place wine tasting
signage in the middle of the laneway blocking
access on a daily basis.
Appreciation of building design is subjective
and not a planning consideration.
The proposal is less than half the height of
the relevant acceptable solution (12m for
non-dwellings). For example, a 12m high silo
could be erected on the site without
requiring planning approval.
Vines with netting and water tanks are
typical of an agricultural use and resource
development is a no permit required use in
the rural resource zone.
The building represents a roofed area of
125m2 on a 10.72ha site, a site coverage of
0.12%. Combined with the car park and
courtyards, the total development area is
1200m2, or a site coverage of 1.12%.
Council’s Infrastructure and Plumbing
Departments have advised that additional
run-off proposal will be able to be adequately
managed on the site. It is a legislative
requirement that stormwater from
development must be controlled on the site
to the satisfaction of Council’s plumbing
surveyor.
This is not a planning consideration.

added traffic of up to 20 vehicles at one time
to a road that receives no maintenance at all.
20 March 2018
The proposal is a replacement for the
existing cellar door on the other side of
Hendersons Lane. Whilst it is a new cellar
door, no more services are offered (it does
open one hour earlier than currently) and
therefore it would be reasonable to expect a
similar level of traffic generation. Council’s
Infrastructure Services Department were
satisfied that the applicable performance
criteria is met.

The concerns of the representors are noted but did not raise any matters that alter assessment of
the application against the Scheme (notwithstanding the applicant’s agreement to erect the fence).

6) Alternative Options

The Planning Authority may approve (with or without conditions) or refuse the application, based on
its assessment against the Scheme and any representations that were received. A recommendation
was provided for approval with conditions. Any alternative decision should be provided with relevant
planning reasons.

7) Financial Impact

Financial impacts are normally limited to the application process and any appeal that may be lodged
against the Planning Authority’s decision, provided statutory obligations are met.

8) Officer’s Comments

The proposal was assessed against the provisions of the Scheme and complied with all relevant
tests. On this basis, the proposal should be approved subject to the conditions listed below.

James Ireland

DEVELOPMENT DESCRIPTION
A cellar door sales building is proposed, to be roughly half way along the frontage of the lot and
setback 22m from it. It is associated with the Stoney Rise Vineyard which occupies the subject title
and another title across Hendersons Lane. Stoney Rise has an existing cellar attached to the
dwelling across Hendersons Lane – this will be closed and re-established in the new building
proposed. A 20 space plus over flow car park is located between the building and Hendersons Lane.
The building itself has an indoor area of approximately 100m2, with as much again as court yards
and a walled ‘entry lane’. There is a tasting and sales area, kitchen, storage and toilets. The design
is modern and angular and finished in a variety of materials - natural timber, concrete, clay bricks
and painted sheeting (colour ‘Monument’, a dark grey). The maximum height is 5.65m.

SITE EVALUATION
The subject site is a 10.72 ha lot on the southern side of Hendersons Lane. The lot is a fairly recent
addition to the long established Stoney Rise Vineyard, with the oldest vines, a winery and dwelling
on the opposite side of Hendersons Lane. The subject site has been partly planted with vines but is
otherwise pasture. It slopes down approximately 30m to the south east and a creek runs across the
lowest part, 120m from the proposal. There are some old farm building in the far south eastern part
of the site. To the north across Hendersons Lane is the remainder of the Stoney Rise Vineyard
property. To the west and south are large rural lots. To the east is a single dwelling on a 1 ha lot
which gains access from Tomah Place.

SITE CONSTRAINTS/APPLICABLE OVERLAYS

 Landslip: not applicable - no hazard bands.
 Flooding: The subject site is not prone to flooding.
 The existing infrastructure, including access, has sufficient capacity to service the proposal.

ANALYSIS
 The surrounding uses and developments are compatible with the proposal.
 The proposal is compatible with the surrounding uses.
 There are no known hazards impacting on the proposal.

INTERNAL REFERRALS
 Internal referrals raised no issues.

PLANNING MATTERS
The subject site is located in the rural resource zone. The zone purpose statements are:
To provide for the sustainable use or development of resources for agriculture, aquaculture,
forestry, mining and other primary industries, including opportunities for resource
processing.
To provide for other use or development that does not constrain or conflict with resource
development uses.
To provide for economic development that is compatible with primary industry,
environmental and landscape values.
To provide for tourism-related use and development where the sustainable development of
rural resources will not be compromised.

economy and primary industry uses are to
be protected for long-term sustainability. It also makes a contribution to b) Tourism.

individual consideration of the local
context.
Processing and services can augment the
productivity of primary industries in a
locality and are supported where they are
related to primary industry uses and the
long-term sustainability of the resource is
not unduly compromised.
b) Tourism
Tourism is an important contributor to the
rural economy and can make a significant
contribution to the value adding of primary
industries through visitor facilities and the
downstream processing of produce. The
continued enhancement of tourism
facilities with a relationship to primary
production is supported where the long-
term sustainability of the resource is not
unduly compromised.
The rural zone provides for important
regional and local tourist routes and
destinations such as through the
promotion of environmental features and
values, cultural heritage and landscape.
The continued enhancement of tourism
facilities that capitalise on these attributes
is supported where the long-term
sustainability of primary industry
resources is not unduly compromised.
c) Rural Communities
Services to the rural locality through
provision for home-based business can
enhance the sustainability of rural
communities. Professional and other
business services that meet the needs of
rural populations are supported where
they accompany a residential or other
established use and are located
appropriately in relation to settlement
activity centres and surrounding primary
industries such that the integrity of the
activity centre is not undermined and
primary industries are not unreasonably
confined or restrained.

26.1.3 Desired Future Character Statements

The visual impacts of use and development The visual impact of the development is
within the rural landscape are to be minimised minimised by being relatively small (100m2)
such that the effect is not obtrusive. and low-lying (height 5.65m) and being clad in
subdued and natural finishes.

26.3 Use Standards

Defined use as per planning scheme and classification: hotel industry - discretionary.

26.3.1 Discretionary Uses if not a single dwelling

Objective:
a) To provide for an appropriate mix of uses that support the Local Area Objectives and the
location of discretionary uses in the rural resources zone does not unnecessarily
compromise the consolidation of commercial and industrial uses to identified nodes of
settlement or purpose built precincts.
b) To protect the long term productive capacity of prime agricultural land by minimising
conversion of the land to non-agricultural uses or uses not dependent on the soil as a
growth medium, unless an overriding benefit to the region can be demonstrated.
c) To minimise the conversion of non-prime land to a non-primary industry use except where
that land cannot be practically utilised for primary industry purposes.
d) Uses are located such that they do not unreasonably confine or restrain the operation of
primary industry uses.
e) Uses are suitable within the context of the locality and do not create an unreasonable
adverse impact on existing sensitive uses or local infrastructure.
f) The visual impacts of use are appropriately managed to integrate with the surrounding
rural landscape.
Acceptable Solutions Performance Criteria
A1 If for permitted or no permit required P1.1 It must be demonstrated that the use is
uses. consistent with local area objectives for the
provision of non-primary industry uses in the
zone, if applicable; and
P1.2 Business and professional services and
general retail and hire must not exceed a
combined gross floor area of 250m2over the
site.
The use is discretionary, so must meet the performance criteria. In relation to P1.1, the
proposal combines the primary industry and tourism aspects of the local area objective.
P1.2 is not applicable.
A2 If for permitted or no permit required P2.1 Utilities, extractive industries and controlled
uses. environment agriculture located on prime
agricultural land must demonstrate that the:
i) amount of land alienated/converted is
minimised; and
ii) location is reasonably required for
operational efficiency; and
P2.2 Uses other than utilities, extractive
industries or controlled environment
agriculture located on prime agricultural
land, must demonstrate that the conversion
of prime agricultural land to that use will
result in a significant benefit to the region
having regard to the economic, social and
environmental costs and benefits.
Not applicable to this assessment. Not on prime agricultural land.
19
 20 March 2018
A3 If for permitted or no permit required P3 The conversion of non-prime agricultural to
uses. non-agricultural use must demonstrate that:
a) the amount of land converted is minimised
having regard to:
i) existing use and development on the
land; and
ii) surrounding use and development; and
iii) topographical constraints; or
b) the site is practically incapable of supporting
an agricultural use or being included with
other land for agricultural or other primary
industry use, due to factors such as:
i) limitations created by any existing use
and/or development surrounding the
site; and
ii) topographical features; and
iii) poor capability of the land for primary
industry; or
c) the location of the use on the site is
reasonably required for operational
efficiency.
The use is discretionary, so must meet the performance criteria. The proposal is integral
to the ongoing agricultural use of the land and therefore meets the performance criteria.
A4 If for permitted or no permit required P4 It must demonstrated that:
uses. a) emissions are not likely to cause an
environmental nuisance; and
b) primary industry uses will not be unreasonably
confined or restrained from conducting normal
operations; and
c) the capacity of the local road network can
accommodate the traffic generated by the use.
The use is discretionary, so must meet the performance criteria. In relation to a), emissions
generated by the proposal will be very limited and unlikely to cause an environmental
nuisance. This is because there is no production or industrial processes taking place on-
site, the operating hours are relatively short (10am to 5pm) and the nearest house (part of
the vineyard property) is 85m away and the next closest is 300m away. A permit condition
requiring low-level lighting will be imposed.
In relation to b), the proposal is integral to the existing primary industry use on the site
(vineyard). This will not be unreasonably confined or restrained from conducting normal
operations.
In relation to c), the proposal is a replacement for the existing cellar door on the other side
of Hendersons Lane, whilst it is a new cellar door, no more services are offered (it does
open one hour earlier than currently) and therefore it would be reasonable to expect a
similar level of traffic generation. Council’s Infrastructure Services Department were
satisfied that the performance criteria is met.

E6.7.2 Design and Layout of Car Parking

Objective:
To ensure that car parking and manoeuvring space are designed and laid out to an appropriate
standard.
Acceptable Solution Performance Criteria
A1.1 Where providing for 4 or more spaces, P1 The location of car parking and manoeuvring
parking areas (other than for parking spaces must not be detrimental to the
located in garages and carports for streetscape or the amenity of the surrounding
dwellings in the General Residential areas, having regard to:

located within the front setback for c) the ability to access the site and the rear of
residential buildings or multiple buildings; and
dwellings. d) the layout of car parking in the vicinity; and
e) the level of landscaping proposed for the
car parking.
Does not comply with the acceptable solution, so must meet the performance criteria. In
relation to a) to c), the design response has been to locate the parking at the edge of the
site to minimise the impact on the rural/vineyard character of the site and to maximise the
visitor experience - rather than locating parking adjacent to the building, the parking is
separated and visitors walk a short distance to approach the cellar door on foot. Criteria d)
is not applicable. In relation to e), landscaping is not shown on the plan but there are
sections of vegetation alongside Hendersons Lane which will effectively screen the at
grade car parking.
A2.1 Car parking and manoeuvring space P2 Car parking and manoeuvring space must:
must: a) be convenient, safe and efficient to use
a) have a gradient of 10% or less; and having regard to matters such as slope,

1) Introduction

The purpose of this report is to consider the adoption of council’s Financial Management Strategy
and Long Term Financial Plan 2018/2019 to 2027/2028 (2019-2028).

2) Background

The Financial Management Strategy and Long Term Financial Plan for 2019-2028 forms part of the
management of council’s finances. The plan and strategy is adopted on a rolling basis, in that it is
reviewed on an annual basis. The document will supersede the Financial Management Strategy and
Long Term Financial Plan 2018-2027 completed in 2017.

3) Strategic/Annual Plan/Council Policy

One of the objectives of The Strategic Plan 2016-2026 is to. ‘Represent the community in a
responsive, professional and innovative manner’. Encompassed by the objective is Council’s ability
to provide sustainable and responsible management of public resources and ensure financial
stability. The continual development and regular review of long-term financial management plans
and strategies forms part of the strategy to achieve these outcomes.

4) Statutory Requirements

The Local Government Act 1993 requires the maintenance of a long-term financial plan and
maintenance of a financial management strategy by councils. Ministerial orders outline the minimum
requirements necessary.

5) Government Departments

6) Community Consultation

The strategic plan was put out to community consultation, and includes a strategy of regular review
of long-term financial management plans and strategies.

7) Alternative Options

Council may adopt the Financial Management Strategy and Financial Plan as is, or further amend
the plan and strategy as required.

8) Financial Impact

The main financial impacts:

 The Plan supports ongoing financial sustainability and long-term funding for the adequate
renewal of council infrastructure to maintain current service levels. The Plan further supports
increased development consistent with responsible asset management.
 The Plan accommodates for developments in Legana with net expenditure of $12m spread over
varying years for strategic land acquisitions, town centre roadworks and recreational
developments.
 In years 5 and 6 of the Plan (2022-24), $6m is accommodated for the renewal of the Riverside
Swimming Pool.
