PLANNING PERMIT APPLICATION – 2020/306 70 COMMERCIAL STREET KORUMBURRA – USE OF LAND TO SELL LIQUOR

An application to convert the old service station in Korumburra Main Street into a drive through bottle shop is coming to Council at the December Council meeting. There were six objections but the officer report is for recommending approval of the application.

 

The applicant is proposing to convert the old service station into a drive through bottle shop. Access to the abutting Road Zone Category 1 (Commercial Street) requires no changes or upgrades. The proposed internal works and Business Identification Signage do not trigger a Planning Permit and are not being assessed. 

The Planning Permit Application seeks the consideration to “sell packaged liquor at a new premise”. The Planning Permit is triggered to sell packaged liquor if there is no licence issued for the site prior to 8 April 2011 in accordance with Clause 52.27 – Licensed Premises. The application has been applied for in conjunction with the Liquor Licence process. 

At the time of the writing of this report the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) have granted the Liquor Licence subject to Planning Approval. The proposed hours of operation as shown on Liquor Licence are: 

On any day other than Sunday, Good Friday, ANZAC Day or Christmas Day Between 10.00am and 9.00pm 

Sunday Between 11.00am and 7.00pm 

ANZAC Day (Monday to Saturday) Between 12.00 noon and 9.00pm
