Project Background

An application to use a small portion of community land at Mirani Court Reserve for licenced outdoor dining was received by Council from an adjoining property owner who has recently completed construction on a multilevel mixed use restaurant/café and residential building. They wish to further activate the car park area of Mirani Court Reserve by offering licenced outdoor dining from the ground floor café area of their business.

The area requested for use is defined as community land in the Local Government Act and has historically formed a small naturally landscaped buffer area adjoining the carpark and is approximately 49m2. Please refer to the document library to view an aerial location map of the space proposed to for use

Consultation

The current Community Land Management Plan does not support this request and as such must be amended before any approval for its use can be permitted by Council. A report was presented at the Asset Management Committee on Monday 15 March 2021 and endorsed by Council on Monday 22 February 2021 for consultation.

Council seeks to continue providing a vibrant seaside meeting place at Mirani Court Reserve, a place that offers local residents and visitors a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities. And while we believe the addition of licenced outdoor dining to the area will further enhance the community connectedness and vibrancy currently enjoyed we want to ensure the management plan reflects a shared vision and aspiration for the reserve.

Please leave your feedback to this proposal here or in writing to:

Senior Property Officer
PO Box 1
WOODVILLE SA 5011

Community feedback received will be used to undertake a final review of the management plan with a final draft management plan and the community feedback results being presented to Council for endorsement.

The consultation will commence on Thursday 4 March 2021 and conclude at 5pm on Thursday 25 March 2021.
