  • Attachment 1 V2
    Executive Summary This report has been prepared by MGA Town Planners on behalf of Realcom Pty Ltd to support a development application for a ‘Service Station’ to be established at Lots 6 and 7, 323 - 325 Great Eastern Highway, Midvale (subject land). The subject land is located within the suburb of Midvale, approximately 1.1km east of the Midland Strategic Metropolitan Centre (SMC), and is bounded by Great Eastern Highway to the south and Victoria Parade to the east. The proposal comprises the following buildings and activities: • A building being 320m² nla (net lettable area) to contain the ‘Service Station’ convenience store component, which will sell convenience goods and motor vehicle accessories. • A covered refuelling area under which four doubled sided (8) refuelling bays and bowsers are to be established. • Underground fuel tanks. • A refuse storage facility (32m²) adjacent to the western side of the service station building. • 10 parking bays immediately south of the service station building, including a universal access bay. • A delivery tanker movement path that is demonstrated to be safe and orderly. • Pylon signage at the front boundary fronting Great Eastern Highway. The proposed development will result in the following orderly outcomes: • A design facilitating orderly traffic movement and deliveries, as determined by Transcore in its Traffic Impact Assessment. • A convenience for the benefit of local residents and commuters passing by, involving the sale of petroleum products and other goods meeting daily / sporadic household needs. • The provision of local employment opportunities, particularly suited to those requiring flexible and varied hours of work. • Noise impacts are able to be limited to acceptable levels as demonstrated through investigations by Lloyd George Acoustics.
