Update to Summit development proposal

Information Request Response  20/11/2023

"On 20 July 2023, Council issued an Information Request. One of the key items raised by Council was that the proposal, in its original form, had the potential to impact on sightlines and views from the rotunda/lookout, which are of acknowledged importance under the Mt Coot-tha Neighbourhood Plan Code. Whilst the application included a detailed view analysis and a design that responded to the sightlines and views, the Applicant has taken the decision to remove the proposed pavilion building from the staged application. The Applicant instead proposes to proceed with the Stage 1 works that were contained within the original application, which proposes that, the existing café will be refurbished within its existing footprint. This will result in no changes to, or on, the sightlines and views from the rotunda/lookout. 

Additionally, the kiosk works that were included in Stage 2 have been revised and no longer propose an extension to the building that would have housed a museum (amongst other things). Consequently, the museum use, which is defined as Community Use, has been removed from the application. Consequently, the application represents a much reduced scope of work, with Stage 2 in its entirety removed from the application. A meeting was held with Council on 27 October 2023 to discuss this change. Council acknowledged that the abovementioned changes are in response to the Information Request and that consequently a change application is not required. "
