The subject land is zoned 4(b) Light Industrial under the Maitland Local Environmental Plan, 1993. A ‘Community Facility’ is a permissible form of development in the 4(b) Light Industrial Zone with Council consent and is not inconsistent with the objectives of the zone. The proposal includes a ‘Timesavers Area’ (workshop) and a ‘Community Programs’ area. Both of these will provide various forms of ‘life-skills’ training for under privileged children. The application was placed on public exhibition for a period of fourteen (14) days from 16th March 2006 to 30th March 2006. As a result of the notification process Council received one (1) submission which raised issues relating to noise, traffic, visual impact and the siting of the proposed building. All issues have been addressed in the report and are considered acceptable. OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION THAT DA 06-573 for a Community Facility on Lot 1, DP882707, 33 John Street, Telarah be approved, subject to the conditions of consent set out in the attached schedule. Page 3 ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 26 SEPTEMBER, 2006 DA 06-573 Community Facility Lot 1 DP882707, 33 John Street, Telarah (Cont) BACKGROUND The Mai-Wel Group formed in 1960 due to a lack of recognition for the needs of children with disabilities. The Mai-Wel group aim to provide education and opportunities for people with a disability. The Mai-Wel group is currently QA accredited for disability services which will ensure the ongoing funding for business services and open employment. The application site was purchased from the Greta Army Camp prior to 1960. PROPOSAL The subject application seeks approval for a ‘Community Facility’ on Lots 1 and 2, 33 John Street, Telarah. The proposal is to be run by the Mai-Wel Group who provide support and training for people with disabilities.

The site is located one block south of the New England Highway which is directly accessible from John Street. The application site has 2(a) residential allotments directly to the north with other 4(b) Light Industrial allotments to the east across John Street and the railway line. To the direct west of the development there lies other allotments owned by Mai-Wel group which share the 4(b) light industrial zoning. The adjoining allotments to the west contain existing developments of a similar size, scale and character, all of which are utilised for training people with disabilities. The western adjoining lot 4 DP882707, 115a South Street, Telarah, contains a hostel, workshops, a timber storage shed and administration offices all related to the Mai-Wel group.
