This motion refers to Chapter 2, Page 326, Submission SD-C195-204 

To change the wording of the CE Recommendation on the SLO for the Spawell.

Provision in the form of shop-local or shop neighbourhood to no more than 3 units which will not include a large Supermarket,

To: Provision in the form of shop-local or shop-neighbourhood to no more than 5 units which will not include a supermarket larger than 800 m2

Rational. The Spawell Complex is adjacent to a vibrant local centre which currently caters for the needs of the local community. In my opinion to grant anything larger than my recommendation above could potentially damage local traders. However, there is currently several small businesses operating on the site complex and we need to protect them as well as they to provide a valuable service to the community.
