Cr Nugent asked for an explanation of how the height issue of the development was addressed in the application.
The Director Development Services advised that the LEP has provisions to exceed the height in certain circumstances. It was considered to be more beneficial in terms of the protection of heritage to have the motel building lower adjacent to the railway footbridge in exchange for permitting the centre of the building to be above the prescribed height limits.

Cr Nugent asked how Council took into consideration the concerns such as those expressed by Mr Stuart.
The Director Development Services stated that an information session was held with approximately 20 persons in attendance which provided an opportunity to meet with Council’s heritage advisors and discuss any concerns.
Cr Hamling asked if there were more hurdles for home owner now in those heritage areas and whether the heritage advice was free.
The Director Development Services stated that where there are small maintenance issues, these can be exempt in heritage areas and Council does provide a qualified heritage architect free of charge.
Cr Romano asked if affected residents got a say on their properties being deemed heritage.
The Director Development Services stated that every house within the conservation areas received letters in regards to the process. If they are added to the list, the homes would have been inspected to determine significance.
