A ser­vice sta­tion in the Water­ford Rise res­i­den­tial estate has been ap­proved by VCAT at the en­try to Water­ford Rise.

The service station will be located on the Princes Way on the corner of Crole Drive.

Under the approval the ser­vice sta­tion will op­er­ate from 6am to 11pm and offer convenience store facilities to residents of the estate and the surrounding community.

VCAT said the fact that a ser­vice sta­tion is lo­cated at the en­try to the estate will provide con­ve­nient ac­cess from both the res­i­den­tial street net­work and the high­way.

“Its lo­ca­tion on the Two Towns Trail makes it con­ve­nient for use by cy­clists and pedes­tri­ans. The pro­vi­sion of seat­ing is ben­e­fi­cial,” VCAT said.

A per­mit con­di­tion would re­quire the ad­ver­tise­ment area to be re­duced to not more than 10 square me­tres to ad­dress con­cerns.

Con­di­tions also were in­cluded to ad­dress noise con­cerns in­clud­ing acous­tic screen­ing; fuel tankers only per­mit­ted to de­liver be­tween 7am and 10pm; and waste col­lec­tion only per­mit­ted be­tween 7am and 8pm week­days and 9am and 8pm on week­ends.
