I am sure all those Council regulations were only enforced due to the current State requirements.
The Fuel bowsers at
Eulo did not meet the current EPA requirements due to their age but they were permitted to continue to use them as they complied to the legislative requirements when they were first installed. To now replace them will require EPA approval, which is a State controlled approval, not Local Government.
The food prep area will need to meet the current Food Handling Requirements.
Quite possibly due to the fire being accidental the Paroo Shire will not require the land owner to lodge a Material Change of Use to replace the
shop as it was NOT an intential discontinuation of its Use.
Building and Plumbing Approval only has 20 Business Days to be approved so not much of a hold up there. I generally get a Building Approval done within 5 business days.
I would think the Paroo Shire would consider doing what the Balonne Shire did when the Servo in
Dirranbandi went up in smoke a few years ago and get a temporary fuel supply (20' container with inbuilt fuel dispenser) located in
Eulo so that the Locals could still function.
