Overview

The Harbour Trust has determined the application and granted the applicant a permit with the following key conditions:

  • The proposed demolition of the amenities building and construction of a replacement in a new location is approved.

  • The proposed open-sided shelter is not approved.

  • The proposed vehicle layover bay is not approved – in its stead new vehicle drop-off/pick-up arrangements must be provided in the adjacent Car Park 2.

  • The proposed landscaped area must be re-designed in close consultation with the Harbour Trust to ensure a unified design across the precinct, that minimises hard stand areas and provides shade trees for park users.

The Consultation Outcomes Report and Planning Permit and Conditions can be found on the Harbour Trust website.
