ITEM NO: 2

SUBJECT: RESIGNATION FROM COUNCIL COMMITTEES – MR BRUCE MUMFORD

CONTACT NAME: Cath Brennan, Coordinator Community Services

FILE NUMBER: 107

Dear Councillors Council has received the resignation of Mr Bruce Mumford, a long serving Community Representative on the Community Development Advisory Committee and the Access Community Reference Group. Mr Mumford has requested that his resignation be forwarded to all Councillors. The Mayor will be inviting Mr Mumford in for morning tea and presentation of a certificate of service, as a small thank you for his years of service. From: Bruce Mumford [mailto:[email protected]]

Sent: Thursday, 7 March 2019 12:36 PM To: Cath Brennan

Subject: Fwd: resignation

Dear Nicola and Cath,

I must apologise very deeply for not getting this to you both sooner. I had fully intended to do it before the last access working group meeting, but time seems to have left me way behind this time. But enough of excuses;

I sadly must withdraw from both the Access Working Group and the Community Consultation Committee. This is because, despite my constant attempts to get the system changed so that community voices are more effectively heard, I have failed.

I strongly believe that the current top-down system of committees and working groups do not adequately allow voices to come up from the disabled community to Council. Requests seem to be ignored, misinterpreted or put aside (and I note, no longer even minuted). I need to devote my increasingly limited resources of time and energy to areas that I think will be more effective.

I bear no personal animosity to you at all and want you to know that I have very much appreciated your help and friendship over the years. I am also happy to help Council in any way that they think they could use my services in the future.

Yours kindly,

Bruce Mumford

ITEM NO: 3

SUBJECT: THROSBY MANOR – TOURIST ACCOMMODATION – ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS

CONTACT NAME: Nick Wilton, Group Manager Planning Development and Regulatory Services.

FILE NO: 19/1374

The purpose of this Weekly Circular is to inform Councillors of a development application which seeks consent for alterations and additions to the building and its subsequent use as seven (7) serviced apartments as a tourist and visitor accommodation. Site Description. The site is known as Lot 1 DP 617915, and known as Throsby Manor (former Council Chambers) and known as 1A Throsby Street Moss Vale. The site is on the western side of Throsby Street at the intersection with Arthur Street. It backs onto the main southern rail line. The site is located approximately 350 metres south west of the Moss Vale memorial clock tower within walking distance of the Moss Vale town centre. The site is rectangular in shape with a frontage to Throsby Street of approximately 31 metres with side boundaries of approximately 56 metres. The total site area is 1770 square metres. The site sits at the crest of Throsby Street as it rises from its intersection with Argyle Street, providing it with a commanding location and as a consequence, the building has a strong street presence. The building situated upon the site is identified as Throsby Manor, being the former Moss Vale Council Chambers and is located within the Throsby and Arthur Street Conservation Area. The building itself is also listed as an item of Environmental Heritage under Wingecarribee LEP 2010. A Heritage Impact report has been provided to Council that gives a detailed history of the site. The site has had numerous uses over the years. Currently it accommodates a suite of individual small businesses with a common kitchen. This use was approved by Council in June 2007 under DA 07/0202 at which time a Conservation Management Plan was prepared by Allman Johnston Architects. The Site Plan can be found at Attachment 1. Proposed Development. Development Application 19/1374 seeks consent for alterations and additions to the building and its subsequent use as seven (7) serviced apartments. A rear ground floor extension is proposed that will comprise a common room and dining/sitting room and a remodelled kitchen, all facing onto a landscaped rear garden. It will include an outdoor fireplace with chimney. These spaces are available for guests, with the kitchen in particular assisting in the ability of guests to be self-contained during their stay by being able to cook a meal or prepare breakfast.


Paved porches will be built to each side and this work will facilitate an accessible car parking space being constructed as well as wheel chair accessible paths to join the existing path on the building’s northern side. Accommodation will be in the form of seven (7) individual rooms, three (3) located on the ground floor and four (4) on the first floor. This involves the conversion of the existing kitchen and the inclusion of en-suites to each bedroom. The building will be repaired and painted and the landscape garden invigorated with additional plantings. The rear yard already provides on-site parking for visitors and this arrangement will be retained. The development will provide a total of eight (8) spaces which equates to 1 for each of the seven (7) bedrooms and an additional space for a site manager. One of these spaces will be an accessible space. An accessibility report has been provided along with a fire safety upgrade report, which includes the installation of a sprinkler system, improved exit signage, emergency lighting and fire resistant doors to the individual accommodation rooms. Elevation and floor plans can be found at Attachment 2. Permissibility. The site is zoned R2 Low Density Residential Zone under Wingecarribee Local Environmental Plan 2010 and in this zone serviced apartments are permissible with development consent. Assessment Timeline. The application has been notified to the public from 29 March 2019 to 16 April 2019 and referred to appropriate Government agencies and internal Council Departments for comments. The application shall be determined under delegated authority, unless it is requested by a Councillor that the application be determined by Council. More details regarding the application can be found on Council’s DA-Tracker at www.wsc.nsw.gov.au/da-tracker Should you require any further information, please contact [email protected]
