Manly Wharf Proposal - Rejected by Independent Assessment Panel

20/4/2012

__Manly's Independent Assessment Panel (MIAP) has rejected the plans by TMG Developments to add a further four restaurants, and shops, to Manly Wharf.

Local residents have fought long and hard against the proposal which would have seen a further 1,000 people using facilities on the site.

The $6.97 million plan, which was recommend by Council staff, was seeking a $5.379 million "community contribution" from Council and the development was not required to provide any additional parking.  Fortunately MIAP had the sense to reject the proposal.  Will TMG take it to the Land & Environment Court next?

SEE THE BOTTOM ON THIS BLOG  FOR A COPY OF THE DECISION FROM MIAP


UPDATE:  25/1/12
  TMG Developments have changed the roof design of their proposal to add another floor to a section of Manly Wharf - from a saw-toothed effect to a flat roof.

Although the design of a building is always important, it's not the issue here.  What locals are really concerned about is another 1,000 people at four additional restaurants in what is already a very confined space.  (The Police have already expressed concerns on how they would manage it)

This proposal would also add more noise,  possible anti-social behaviour and more litter to an environmentally sensitive area.

UPDATE:  5/1/12
MIAP decision delayed until February 2012.
The Manly Independent Assessment Panel (MIAP) delayed its decision regarding the DA proposal for Manly Wharf until February following the receipt of  late information which needed to be reviewed.

UPDATE:  14/11/2011
Minister Waives Master Plan requirement

Richard Hewitt from Fairlight precinct reports that the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, Brad Hazzard, has waived the requirement for a master plan for development at Manly Wharf Hotel and Restaurant, at East Esplanade on the basis "the proposed development will affect only a small proportion of the site".

As Richard points out – the DA proposal adds a whole extra storey to one third of the site; adds 1,100 more patrons on the wharf until 1am in an area the Police Commander can't police, and is adjacent to a major little penguin nesting site. 

This DA is likely to go to MIAP in December.

Do you think the Minister should have waived the master plan requirement?  What do you think of the proposal to add a further four restaurants to the wharf area?

=========================================================================================
Have you seen the new proposal for Manly Wharf? 
It includes an extra level on the eastern side to accommodate a further four restaurants.  The current restaurants and hotel are fantastic and are all well run - do we honestly need another four  with 1,000 plus patrons on this already confined site?

What do you think?
(If you have concerns a local protest rally is planned for Sunday 7 August @ 2pm at the Wharf. Organiser: Angelika Treichler 9976-2176 or 0431 890 678 )   See Events section for photos from the Rally

I oppose yet another set of noise producing venues forn Manly Cove. There is no parking available on this site.
The original development was approved only for one level and the developer put in an overdesigned roof which the council were too weak to make him take it down.
The extra level will be a gross intrusion to sight lines in all directions and will spoil the heritage design of this, the main gateway to Manly.

The MIAP report is now available on Council's website. It gives 9 reasons which begs the question how did Manly Council Planners recommend approval with conditions.
Reading the 9 reasons in MIAP's decision, I would imagine the applicant would have to think very seriously before proceeding to the Land & Environment Court. This was greed with a capital G, and may I suggest that if it did proceed to the L&E Court, he would run the risk of destroying what has been a successful development. I often wonder what the present occupants think after all their investment in their businesses, to learn that there will be more competition presenting all the problems as set out in MIAP's decision. Congratulations to all involved over the years in protecting the Manly Community.
