The site will undergo a basic shop fit out, including restricting shop front visibility from the footpath by covering up shop windows to stop unwanted attention from underaged people.

Council documents stated that the “development is not expected to result in unacceptable impacts and is not considered to be contrary to the public interest”.

Community views were considered as part of the assessment and determination of the development application.

The new adult store will be called La Boudoir Adult Store and will operate from 10am to 7pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and from 10am to 8pm on Thursdays.

The store must restrict access to patrons or customers over 18 years of age only.

A closed circuit television system (CCTV) will be installed in the premises to display people at the store register and customers entering and leaving the store.
