Property details: 31 Rumball Road, Barmera, as contained in Certificate of Title Volume 6190 Folio 845 Zone / Policy Area: Primary Production Zone – Horticulture Policy Area 1 Development plan provisions: Berri Barmera Council Development Plan, as consolidated 8 December 2016 Referrals / Agency consultations: Nil Form of assessment: Merit Public notification category: Category 3 Recommendation: Grant Development Plan Consent, subject to conditions and notes Officer: Dylan Grieve File reference: I191002-125 Appendices follow report: • Application Forms • Representation • Certificate of Title • Applicants Response • Plans and Documents BACKGROUND: The application seeks a change in use from storage shed (store) to light industry (engineering workshop) that includes the repair and servicing associated with farming and horticultural machinery and equipment. The existing shed (store) was approved as part of 752/169/17 on 19/12/2017 with a condition that ‘the shed must only be used for storage’. The three shipping containers were approved as part of 752/089/19 on 23/09/2019 and are used for the storage of pumpkins. HISTORY OF THE SITE: Historically the subject site has been used for growing vines and pumpkins, however, this use ceased and vines were removed quite some time ago. There was a pickers quarters on the subject allotment, however, this was demolished in 1999. Under its current ownership the subject site has remained vacant with the exception of the improvements mentioned above. The Berri Barmera Council, District Council of Loxton Waikerie, Renmark Paringa Council Agenda for the Riverland Regional Assessment Panel meeting to be held on Thursday 20 February 2020 Page 1 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The proposal seeks Development Plan Consent for a change in use from storage shed (store) to light industry (engineering workshop) that includes the repair and maintenance associated with farming and horticultural machinery and equipment. The existing storage shed 196.76m² and is 21.389m long, 9.199m wide with a wall height of 4.2m for an overall height of 5.011m and is Colorbond Slate Grey. The works proposed to be carried out within the light industry (engineering workshop) shed, include: • Stainless steel and mild steel welding (Tig,Mig,Arc) • Machining of stock steel in a lathe or milling machine • Fabrication of light structural components, trailers and farm gates / fencing • Stainless steel pipe work fabricated in the workshop and on site depending on job requirements • Grape / fruit harvester repairs and servicing, fruit sorting equipment, conveyors, water filter repairs and fabrication • Tooling for the above jobs will include grinders, lathe, milling machine, plasma cutter, welders, belt linisher, drill press, pan brake, guillotine, band saw and a variety of hand tooling. The business, which currently is operated from another site with the Berri Barmera Council area, has two utility vehicles (less than 3 tonnes). Accordingly, vehicle movements to and from the workshop may reach ten (10) times a day. Fork lifts are also used to conduct business operations. Other traffic movements proposed include one (1) Semi-trailer, anticipated to be once per month, for steel delivery and harvesters upon demand (seasonal). Noise mitigation is proposed in the form of Sisalation Foam Cell insulation installed on the roof and all walls. Landscaping proposed is 200 Leightons Green Conifer - Leyland Cypress trees for the boarder of the property. Ten (10) car parking spaces are proposed plus one (1) disabled car parking space. No advertising / signage is proposed as part of this application. SUBJECT LAND AND LOCALITY: The subject land is known as 31 Rumball Road, Winkie as contained in Certificate of Title Volume 5954 Folio 427. The subject site was previously known as Lot 2 Garwood Lane, Winkie. On 7 February 2018, Council wrote to the owners of the subject site as the approved storage shed triggered the site being occupied. Every occupied rural property in South Australia is assigned a nationally recognised address, based on a simple driveway location system. The address, 31 Rumball Road, Winkie, is the assigned address for the subject site. This address identifier is to improve the delivery of services and assist essential and emergency service providers accessing property. The subject site is approximately 7 hectares and has a gentle slope from Rumball Road downwards towards Garwood Lane. The site has been cleared of vines and is free of any tracts of native vegetation. The locality of the subject site is characterised of horticulture land uses, rural living type allotments, tracts of native vegetation and the Winkie Shop and Post Office. The adjacent disused packing shed is a dominant structure in the immediate locality.

The proposed land use activity has been judged to be a “light industry” as it will not be the cause of detrimental effect on the amenity of the locality, or within the vicinity, because: • The amenity is already impacted by road noise generated by traffic passing along Rumball Road; • The Policy Area contains several major industries and the Desired Character of the Policy Area anticipates expansion of these and the introduction of new industries where they directly relate to the processing of local primary produce. • The amenity is already impacted by existing use rights on the adjacent land for packing shed activities that may be re-activated at 42 Rumball Road; • The building within which the use is to be conducted, exists on the land; • The emission of noise would be conditioned to be within the limits of the noise policy applied by the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) • The low frequency of traffic movement on the site is unlikely to be the cause of dangerous or congested traffic conditions on nearby roads; and • The building is enclosed, with doors to the southern side only, so it will be possible to contain noise and light spill, when necessary to do so. It is important to note that Commissioner Green in COOPER & ORS v DISTRICT COUNCIL OF THE COPPER COAST [2016] SAERDC 5 (11 February 2016) took the approach in very similar circumstances that potential variations of the intensity of the proposed use could result in a change to “general industry” but that such potential “morphing” could be avoided with the attachment of relevant conditions of consent to ensure that it does not occur.
