Town Planning Reporrt - 101-105 Eumundi Noosa Road - 24 October 2016

 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




Background

With respect to the existing development on the site, the Council has advised that (refer
Attachment 1):

An approval was issued in 1977 (TPC 658) for “Renovations to existing building to permit
hardware, store/tyre & wheel alignment service, office, storage and cabinet maker”. From
limited information on the file it would appear the pool shop and an associated pool display
had been operating prior to 1993. The pool display business has not been in operation for
sometime but the pool shop has continued to operate.

There is no evidence of a change to the original approval or an application to seek another use
at any time and therefore the pool shop has been operating in breach of the approval for many
years.

An application to seek approval for the existing business would be required if your client intends
to continue the current use.

Given the advice provided above, the application is being lodged to remedy the potential
non-compliance under the planning scheme. The site currently enjoys some existing use
rights under a continuing approval TPC 658 for “Renovations to existing building to permit
hardware, store/tyre & wheel alignment service, office, storage and cabinet maker” (refer
Attachment 2). This has been confirmed in the Amended Standard Planning and
Development Certificate provided as Attachment 3.

The application has been lodged in order to provide more guidance about the uses that are
allowed on the land, but have been specifically framed around the existing and historic uses
that have and continue to occur. It is suggested that while a number of uses are being applied
for, in effect the development is undefined and comprises a mix of uses, all of which have
occurred on the land at some point.

It is important to note that it is not intended that the existing development increase in scale
or intensity, but reflect the current scale of development on the land. Further, some
community benefit will be provided with the proposal by undertaking improvements to the
existing built form and other operational works on site, which are discussed further below.
