WRITTEN SUBMISSION

1. The Proposal (preamble)

Oblica is design orientated business that supplies innovative fireplaces, stoves, accessories, homewares and design objects from their showroom in Fitzroy. Oblica is preparing to expand its business by hosting showroom events, private events, product launches, networking events, corporate events and product photography. The proposed event space will be available to selected independent event companies, the public and commercial hirers to include photographic sessions, cocktail parties, weddings, industry functions and private parties. The events are run by independent companies who organise catering and trained RSA staff.

The proposed event space will occupy the adjacent warehouse formally identified as 369 Gore St Fitzroy. This warehouse space is currently being leased by Oblica and used as a storage warehouse adjoining its retail showroom – refer to TP01. The space is accessed directly from the Oblica showroom, or from Argyle St. No changes are proposed to the linked titles on the lot.

The proposed primary use of the premise is for a Place of Assembly – events and functions, with maximum 100 patrons. An ancillary use is proposed towards the rear of the premise for product storage, photography studio, photography storage and back of house areas. The proposed ancillary office prepares and edits commercial still life photography, product and packaging photography, blogs, social media, marketing and listings for products. The ancillary use is closely aligned with an office as the photography component does not include people, families and clients. The majority of the work undertaken in the office is in association with Oblica and is predominantly desktop work.

The existing toilet and kitchen amenities will be removed and replaced with upgraded amenities to meet the Building Code and Australian Standards associated with the use of the premise as a Place of Assembly.

Both the front and rear of the premise may be used for functions and events, as indicated by the redline diagram on TP02rev1.

The event / function use will not occur concurrently with the ancillary use and generally operate in the afternoon and evening periods. The ancillary use will commonly operate between the hours of 7am – 5pm Monday to Friday. Refer to Section 9 for further information. The premise is a flexible space to allow for a variety of event types and sizes. The space will be fitted out with lightweight and moveable components to support this, for example storage pods, moveable tables and chairs etc.

2. Response to Clause 52.06

Refer to Traffic Report prepared by AusWide Consulting.

Pursuant to Clause 52.06 of the Yarra Planning Scheme, an assessment for car parking provisions must be made with a new use. As outlined in Table 1 of 52.06-5 the rate of car parking provisions for a Place of Assembly are 0.3 to each patron.

As shown on TP01, two (2) car parking spaces are already provided for on the land, accessed via Argyle St. The proposal seeks to retain these existing car parking spaces for the new use. Refer to plan TP02.

The premises seeks to accommodate 100 patrons at any one time, therefore the requirement is 30 car parking spaces for the proposed use.

In this application we propose to reduce the required number of on-site car spaces from 30 to two (2), a shortfall of 28 spaces, for the following reasons:

Page 3: 1605 Written Submission - existing toilet and kitchen amenities will be removed and replaced ... Refer to Traffic Report prepared by ... showroom function at the site will also visit

 

 

- The site has an existing capacity to provide two (2) off-street car parking spaces; therefore the existing car parking spaces will be retained

- The lot is densely surrounded by adjoining buildings therefore does not have the capacity to provide any further on-site parking

- Any additional on-site parking will hinder the pedestrian access to the premise - There is high availability of unmetered on-street parking on Argyle St, Gore St, George St and

Johnston St - There is high availability of metered on-street parking on Smith St - There is excellent public transport connectivity - Bike routes and bike parking are available in the close proximity - Proposal to install 5 bike parking racks on the north-eastern boundary facing Argyle St.

Refer to the Car Parking Demand Assessment table below for an evaluation in reference to the site conditions.

3. Reference to Clause 43.01

The Clause identifies that any minor works to a Heritage Place must apply for a permit; in this application, the minor works are to provide a second emergency exit to the western laneway to satisfy the Building Code and replacement of existing window glazing.

The proposed minor works include partial demolition to create a new doorway. The works include replacing existing windows like-for-like with double glazed units for acoustic reasons.

As outlined in Clause 43.01-3, the proposal is exempt from notice and review.

4. Response to Clause 22.02

The subject site is Lot 1 of Title Plan 592180B, one of 5 titles on a common site identified as 369 Gore St Fitzroy. The site is located within a Heritage Overlay.

The level of significance listed for this building is: Individually Significant.

The Individually Significant building, occupies the remaining 4 Title Plans 688936L, TP707950S, TP744709N and TP757987K each on Lot 1. This combined Lot is identified as 369 Gore St, however with a mix of businesses occupying the building, it has appropriated 3 different street addresses as follows:

Mark Tuckey – 231 Johnston St Oblica – 200 Argyle St Subject Site (warehouse) – (rear) 369 Gore St The remainder of the building is not proposed to be altered. The subject site is the adjoining warehouse (refer to Figure 2 above), which is a late addition in a factory style with no internal linings (refer to Figure 3 below) and we conclude this portion of the building is not significant.

Figure 3: Internal view of the subject site (warehouse at rear 369 Gore St)

4.1 Clause 22.02-5.1

A small component of the existing window fabric is proposed to be removed and replaced for acoustic reasons. The steel framed window on the north elevation is proposed to be removed and replaced like-for-like with double glazing, the small openings for the toilets are proposed to be filled with double glazing (currently voids), and the west window is proposed to be enlarged and replaced with an exit door – refer to TP04.

To support the proposal for the reduction in car parking, the applicant will install 5 bike parking racks on the north-eastern boundary facing Argyle St.

It is concluded that the removal and replacement of these minor portions of the external building will not adversely affect the building, nor will it have any impact to the adjacent heritage place.

5. Reference to Clause 34.01

The Clause identifies that a Change of Use permit is required to use the premise as a Place of Assembly for its primary use.

Similar Places of Assembly including event spaces and art galleries are located within the immediate area – refer TP03.

The relevant purposes of the clause are: To recognise that live music is an important part of the State’s culture and economy. To ensure that noise sensitive residential uses are satisfactorily protected from unreasonable levels of

live music and entertainment noise. To ensure that the primary responsibility for noise attenuation rests with the agent of change.

Page 8: 1605 Written Submission - existing toilet and kitchen amenities will be removed and replaced ... Refer to Traffic Report prepared by ... showroom function at the site will also visit

 

 

The premise has been designed to minimise noise emissions and provide acoustic attenuation measures to protect noise sensitive receivers within 50m. All noise attenuation measure are detailed in the acoustic report prepared by Noise Consulting and include:

Air and sound lock entry Double glazed windows to all openings Acoustic insulation and lining to the existing ceiling Sound system noise limiter Acoustic doors

Smoking Area:

As requested in council’s RFI letter dated 7th September 2016 detail on how a smoking area will be managed during events and the position of the smoking area was sought. The applicant has expressed conclusively that the venue is a non-smoking venue and there will be no ‘pass-outs’ allowed once patrons have entered the venue. TP02rev1 shows a covered entry area with a partial (removable) barrier; it is expected that as patrons enter the premise they will be advised of the venue conditions. Hirers will be informed in advance of the venue conditions. As referred to in Oblica’s Noise and Amenity Action Plan, a security guard will be positioned at the entry for events over 40 patrons, where this venue condition will be enforced.

8. Interface Uses Policy

This policy applies to applications for use or development within:

Mixed Use, Business and Industrial Zones a Residential 1 Zone where the subject site is within 30 metres of a Business or Industrial Zone a Residential 1 Zone where the subject site is within 30 metres of an existing business or industrial use.

The premise is located within a Commercial 1 Zone.

As per the RFI from council the following analysis is provided.

Refer to the Noise and Amenity Action Plan for further detail.

Noise:

Noise has been thoroughly assessed, with measures of attenuation provided by an acoustic expert, Andrew Rogers of Noise Consulting, detailed in his report attached to this application.

Light spill:

Page 9: 1605 Written Submission - existing toilet and kitchen amenities will be removed and replaced ... Refer to Traffic Report prepared by ... showroom function at the site will also visit

 

 

Minimal light spill is expected from the premise. All existing clear roof sheeting will be covered as per the acoustic recommendations as required by Option 2, Noise Consulting report. The building and the open areas will be lit during the hours of operation. Any external lights will be oriented to prevent direct light spill outside the site.

Loading and unloading:

Loading and unloading will be accessed via the existing driveway. The new operable wall will allow large vehicles/trucks to enter the premise if required to load and unload. No negative impact is expected on traffic or pedestrians.

Rubbish removal and storage:

Refer to the waste management plan and Noise and Amenity Action Plan prepared by Oblica as part of this application.

Construction noise:

The internal fit out of the premise is expected to be minor and minimal noise is expected. All construction will be performed within the statutory times.

9. Proposed hours of operation

The premise intends to operate on trading terms defined by the acoustic analysis, refer to Noise Consulting report.

The proposed maximum hours of operation are:

Monday - Thursday 7am - 11pm Friday - Saturday 7am - 12am Sun 12pm - 10pm The ancillary use Photography studio is intended to operate from 7am – 5pm during the day avoiding a ‘dead’ space during typical business hours. The Event/Function use will not occur concurrently with the ancillary use and generally operate in the afternoon and evening periods. The proposed maximum trading hours for the sale of liquor are:

In line with the VCGLR: 11am - 11pm, Monday to Saturday (excluding ANZAC Day and Good Friday) 12pm - 11pm on Sunday 12pm - 11pm, ANZAC Day and Good Friday. As referred to on page 3 Noise Consulting report, ‘the most common scenario is that the venue operates two or three musical operations per week. In this case the day/evening period is until 11:00pm Thur, Fri, Sat and 10:00pm other days. It is possible that the venue operates only once in any particular week and may operate music during the day/evening period until midnight on Fri or Sat or 10:00pm Sunday or 11:00pm other days. The venue will not operate during the night period.’ (Noise Consulting).

10. Number of staff

There is expected to be up to 7 staff working during events. These staff will be Oblica staff for business run events or staff contracted through the external hirer or caterer. Up to 4 Oblica staff are expected to work in the photographic studio at any one time.

Page 10: 1605 Written Submission - existing toilet and kitchen amenities will be removed and replaced ... Refer to Traffic Report prepared by ... showroom function at the site will also visit

 

 

11. Number of patrons

A total number of 100 patrons are intended to be accommodated within the premise at any one time.

CONCLUSION

Oblica is proposing to provide an excellent facility to the local and wider community, with no evidential need to provide additional on-site car parking as outlined in this application nor any negative impact to the heritage place. Any minimal additional traffic generated can be easily absorbed into the surrounding street network.  

Based on this report, acoustic report, traffic report, waste management plan, Noise and Amenity Action Plan and drawings, the proposal is considered to comply with the relevant planning policy and should therefore be supported.

Sincerely,

Sasha Hadjimouratis SASHIMI (on behalf of the applicant)

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PLAN

This Noise and Amenity Action Plan (NAAP) is a requirement of Clause 22.09 of the Yarra Planning Scheme for the licensed premises at Rear 369 Gore Street Fitzroy ("the licensed premises"). It is anticipated that it would be endorsed under a permit issued to allow the use of the land for the sale and consumption of liquor on the premises ("the permit").

It is also a necessary management strategy for the operation of the licensed premises.

The NAAP is intended to allow the licensed premises to provide a good standard of service to patrons while maintaining a good standard of amenity for any neighbouring residents, with minimal disturbance, particularly from noise from the premises itself or from patrons leaving the premises.

Current and future operators will abide by, and have ownership, of the Plan. The NAAP is to form the basis of the sustainable business operation of the licensed premises, allowing the licensed premises operator/permit holder/licensee, neighbours and the Yarra City Council to coexist peacefully.

Page 12: 1605 Written Submission - existing toilet and kitchen amenities will be removed and replaced ... Refer to Traffic Report prepared by ... showroom function at the site will also visit

DETAILS OF THE PLAN

The location, type and details of existing licensed premises in the locality.

The site is in a former industrial area which is transitionning into a commercial and retail area. The premise is within a Commercial 1 Zone (C1Z). The closest existing licensed premises are located on Johnston Street (Birmingham Hotel) and George Street (Marquis of Lorne), about 200m away. Other significant clusters of existing licensed premises are located on Brunswick Street and at the South end of Smith Street.

The identification of all noise sources associated with the premise (including, but not limited to, music noise, entries and exits to the premise and courtyards) likely to impact on adjoining residents. Measures to be undertaken to address all noise sources identified, including on and off-site noise attenuation measures.

The main noise sources associated with licensed premises will be from functions, including "people noise" and background music. Associated deliveries and car parking will also produce some noise.

Noise emissions will be limited by both the physical attributes of the premises and the nature of the proposal itself:

• The building is a double brick construction commercial/industrial building, in which all patrons will be contained.

• The public entrance will be from Argyle street. The section of Argyle Street between Gore Street and George Street is mainly composed of commercial building with the exception of the 2 residential buildings at 197 and 192 Argyle Street.

• The licensed premises operator/permit holder will conduct alteration work to the building of the licensed premises to minimise noise emmissions as recommended by in the report by Noise Consulting & Management Pty Ltd. These alterations together with a limiter on the licensed premises PA system will enable the noise emissions to fall under the external noise limit of 44 dB(A).

The licensed premises operator/permit holder will minimise noise emissions and provide acoustic attenuation measures to protect noise sensitive receivers within 50m. All noise attenuation measures to enable noise emissions to fall under the external noise limit of 44 dB(A) are detailed in the acoustic report prepared by Noise Consulting and include:

- Air and sound lock entry - Double glazed windows to all openings - Acoustic insulation and lining to the existing ceiling - Sound system noise limiter - Acoustic doors

• No outdoor area is proposed the laneway on the west side of the building will not be utilised for patron's access.

• The main external interfaces for patrons of the licensed premises will be to Argyle Street. Patrons will be generally concentrated inside the building on the site, or when outside (when entering or leaving) on the carpark/forecourt of the building and Argyle Street only, which, near the site is characterised much more by non-residential uses than residential ones.

• The activities associated with the licensed premises (functions, with background music only) will be unlikely to generate significant noise audible from outside the subject land.

• Any permit or licence conditions relevant to noise attenuation will be met at all times.

• Signage will be encouraging patrons to respect local resident when leaving the licenced premises.

NOISE & AMENITY ACTION PLAN - OBLICA 369 GORE STREET FITZROY

Page 13: 1605 Written Submission - existing toilet and kitchen amenities will be removed and replaced ... Refer to Traffic Report prepared by ... showroom function at the site will also visit

• Deliveries, emptying of bottle etc will be limited to certain times (see below).

Standard procedures to be undertaken by staff in the event of complaints by a member of the public, the Victoria Police, an "authorised officer" of the Responsible Authority [Yam City Council] or an officer of Liquor Licensing Victoria [Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation].

The licensed premises operator/permit holder and all staff will take seriously all amenity-related complaints against the licensed premises, its staff or its patrons, and will deal with such complaints in a professional manner.

Upon receiving a complaint, a staff member at management level will immediately seek to determine the cause of the complaint and take steps to address it if the complaint is found to be associated with the use of the premises, or patrons who have just left the premises.

The permit holder/staff member at management level will keep an up-to-date register to record any complaints against the licensed premises, including:

- The date, time and nature of the complaint; - The contact details of the person and/or organisation lodging the complaint; and - Measures taken to address the complaint(s), with time and date.

The register will be kept on the premises and made available for inspection to officers of Victoria Police, the Responsible Authority or the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation during all hours of operation and upon request to other persons.

The licensed premises operator/permit holder or staff member at management level will not refuse entry to any potential complainant or refuse to register a complaint.

Details of staffing arrangements including numbers and working hours of all security staff, bar staff, waiters/ waitresses, on-premises manager, and other staff.

There will be an appropriate number of staff present on the licensed premises, including a manager who will be on the premises at all times liquor is served.

Staff members will be on the premises during all hours that liquor is to be served. Parties hiring the venue for functions of over 40 people will be required to hire a security staff.

As is typical of the hospitality industry, staff working hours will vary according to circumstances, but staff will be available in the licensed premises during all hours that it is open to the public.

All staff members will be given a personal copy of this Noise and Amenity Action Plan and be required to familiarise themselves with its requirements.

Details of training provided for bar staff in the responsible serving of alcohol.

All bar staff members will be graduates of a "Responsible Service of Alcohol" program.

Hours of operation for all parts of the premises.

Liquor will be served only during the hours specified in the permit.

Lighting within the boundaries of the site.

The building and the open areas will be lit during the hours of operation.

Security lighting outside the premises.

Any external lights will be oriented to prevent direct light spill outside the site.

Details of the provision of music including the frequency and hours of entertainment provided by live bands and/or DJs.

No live music will be performed in the premises, unless otherwise granted written permission by the Responsible Authority. DJs will operate amplified music in accordance with the noise report prepared by Noise Consulting. There will be a limiter installed on the sound system.

Details of waste management plan including storage and hours of collection for general rubbish and bottles associated with the licensed use.

Storage for rubbish and recyclables will be as shown on plans endorsed under the permit.

Unless by the Council, garbage collections will take place between 7.00 am and 8.00 pm on any day.

Emptying of bottles into bins will not occur after 10.00 pm or before 7.00 am.

Any other measures to be undertaken to ensure minimal amenity impacts from proposed licensed use.

The total number of patrons will be limited to the number allowed by the permit and/or licence.

Staff members will use their best endeavours to ensure that patrons on the premises will conduct themselves in a quiet and orderly manner, without causing a nuisance to the amenity of the area by noise and/or boisterous behaviour.

Staff members will also use all reasonable and practical methods to ensure that patrons leave the premises in a quiet and orderly manner at all times the use is operating and immediately after the hours of operation.

Clearly visible signs will be displayed in the toilets and at the entrance/exit of the premises. The signs will ask patrons to leave in a quiet and orderly fashion at all times. The signs will also tell patrons that the licensed premises wishes to enjoy good relations with any residents living nearby and their amenity must be respected by preventing noise, boisterous behaviour, the slamming of car doors, the revving of engines etc. Staff members will reinforce this message as required.

The licensed premises operator/permit holder or a current staff member at a management level will ensure that a copy of this Plan is made available to any person freely and without charge.

A phone number of the licensed premises operator/permit holder or a current staff member at a management level will be provided upon request to any neighbour, to facilitate any complaint, at any time during hours of operation or within half an hour afterwards, about noise and/or other disturbances associated with the licensed premises.

In the event of any significant and ongoing complaints about noise, measurements of noise emissions from the licensed premises may be taken by an appropriately qualified person and submitted to the Responsible Authority, if requested in writing by the Responsible Authority.
