December 2024
Following the review of the comments received and consideration of the proposal against the relevant development permit area guidelines, the Director of Planning, Development and Environment Services approved Development Permit 24-025 on December 19, 2024. The approval is consistent with the relevant development permit guidelines and the lease agreement.
Approved Architectural Plans
Approved Landscape Plans
The majority of the concerns received through the public notification process were related to the programming and operations of the site, access, public safety, parking and traffic and were outside of the scope of the development permit review. Programming and operations of the site (e.g. use, building size, hours of operation, noise etc.) were determined by the lease agreement approved by Council for the site.
Consideration of the development permit was limited to the application of the watercourse protection and foreshore protection development permit guidelines.
The approved Environmental and Foreshore Development Permit with variances allows for renovation, restoration, and expansion of the significant heritage building known as the “Navvy Jack House” on the subject site, which consists of two legal lots. The proposal includes a coffee shop/wine bar use with up to 144 seats as per the approved plans.
