Proposal for swim school to become jetski repair site

Central Coast Council is considering an application to change the use of an industrial lot at Woy Woy from a swim school to a jet ski repair business.

The site at 5 Mutu St is in what is described as a relatively small industrial zone.

The proposed development involves the change of use of an existing industrial building, currently used as a swim school, to a specialised jet ski repair workshop.

It also involves the erection of a prefabricated shed to store mechanical and body parts for the business.

A statement, prepared by Clarke Dowdle and Associates, supporting the application states that the workshop will operate for the repair and maintenance of specialised and modified jet skis, as opposed to retail jet skis for the general market.

"As such, only one ski would be worked on at any one time by the sole mechanic," the document states.

"Business hours will be 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

"The workshop would include a hoist, work bay, shelving and there will be three on-site car parking spaces.

"Given the shortage of industrial land available within the Peninsula area, Council should be flexible for various uses within the Woy Woy industrial area.

"This represents a new use of a currently under-utilised industrial lot ... increasing the diversity of services to allow the Peninsula to become more diverse with the range of necessary services available."
