Similar to Wollondilly Council, our Council has a former bank property that has been subject to a MDAP It is the 1 double storey building, with residence upstairs, and has a living area downstairs, and the bank was at the front, (separate access) but now has closed. Council’s LEP allows Shop top housing, permitted with consent. The owner has applied to have the whole property rated residential. Would Council rate the property residential using Dominant use, irrespective of Council’s LEP that has to retain the commercial portion for where the bank was located. The ratepayer stated that “there is no intention for the foreseeable future to make any attempts to rent the front ground floor area of the building previously occupied by the bank”
Any help would be appreciated
Regards
Graham
