The proposal seeks Development Plan Consent for the following: 1.1.1. Change in use from Residential to Residential and Wedding Ceremony and Community Group Venue; and 1.1.2. Alterations to existing boundary fencing to increase height to 1800mm in height. 1.1.3.

BACKGROUND 2.1. The subject property is commonly referred to as ‘corks cottage’ and contains a dwelling constructed in 1875. The site contains an attractive garden setting to the rear of the property, which is proposed to be utilised for commercial purposes. 2.2. The subject application was lodged with Council on the 15 January 2019 as a result of compliance investigations undertaken by Council administration. Investigations were undertaken after it was brought to Council’s attention that the subject use had been operating without a valid Development Authorisation. 2.3. Due to the scale and frequency of the use, the proposal was not considered to fall within the ambit of a ‘home activity’ and as such, constituted development. 2.4. During the course of Council administration investigations, it was noted by the applicant that the use has been occurring on site for approximately 30 years. As the proposed use COUNCIL ASSESSMENT PANEL 6 AGENDA Wednesday 12 June 2019 commenced following the implementation of planning controls in the Gawler region (being implemented July 1976), the subject site does not retain existing use rights and a change in use is required in order for the applicant to continue to operate the proposed use. Importantly, there is no statute of limitation for compliance proceedings against an unauthorised use of the land. 2.5. As a result of those discussions and in an attempt to formalise the use, the applicant proceeded to lodge a development application with Council. 2.6. Following an assessment by Council administration the proposal is presented to the panel for consideration. 3. RELEVANT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION HISTORY 3.1. The subject land has previously obtained approvals for minor ancillary structures and additions and alterations to the existing dwelling. None of the previous consents obtained are of any consequence to the proposed application. 4. LOCALITY 4.1. The locality is primarily residential in nature with small-scaled commercial land uses limited to the road junctions of Seventh Street and First Street. The character of the locality generally consists of low density detached dwellings situated on generous sized allotments. The era of housing ranges from 1860 to more recent infill development. 4.2. The locality is considered to be confined to the following parameters: 4.2.1. First Street; 4.2.2. First Street’s intersection with Seventh Street; 4.2.3. Gawler Terrace; and 4.2.4. Hill Street. 4.3.
