GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                 13 DECEMBER 2021


South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan
The site is located within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is consistent
with the regional policies of the SEQ Regional Plan.

Planning Regulation 2017
The proposal is for urban activity within the Urban Footprint and is consistent with the assessment
benchmarks contained in the Planning Regulation 2017 for the SEQ Region.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The application must be assessed against the whole of Noosa Plan 2020 to the extent the
provisions are relevant to the development.

Locality Provisions
The subject site is located in the Noosaville Locality and is zoned Medium Impact Industry. The
proposed use for undefined use is identified an inconsistent use, while the caretakers’
Accommodation is identified as a consistent use within the zone. The application is required to follow
an impact assessable application process.

The Motorcycle/Scooter Sales & Repair use operates within the existing building and outdoor areas
on site from 9.00am-4.30pm Monday to Friday. The site plan identifies 115m2 of gross floor area
(GFA) for the industrial component and 131m2 of use area for the scooter and accessory sales
component. The existing building complies with setback, site cover and height requirements in
Noosa Plan. The Caretaker’s Accommodation is proposed at the rear of the premises and complies
with the setback and building height requirements.

Car Parking
The development provides for 5 car parking spaces for the Motorcycle/Scooter Sales and Repair
and 1 additional space for the Caretakers Accommodation. In addition, the development provides
sufficient space for multiple motorcycle spaces. As the proposal is for an undefined use minimum
parking requirements are not stipulated in Table 9.4.1.4 of the Driveways and Parking Code.
Therefore, a comparison against a Showroom use with regard to the sales component is described
in Table 1 below to determine if the proposal meets Performance outcome PO35 of the Medium
impact industry code, which states:
       PO35
       Sufficient car parking is available to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to
       be generated by the use on site.
 Proposed GFA                                    Noosa Plan requirements
 Low impact industry 115m2 GFA                   1 space per 50m2 – 2.3 spaces
 Scooter/motorcycle and accessory sales          ‘Showroom’ – 1 space per 50m2 - 2.62 spaces
 131m2
 Caretaker’s accommodation                       1 covered space
 Total car spaces required by Noosa Plan         6
 Total car spaces provided                       6
                                                Table 1
It is also noted that 4 on street parking for motorbikes/scooters spaces are located directly in front of
the premises. These spaces were included in Council’s works program in 2015 and provided shortly
after. The quantity of motorcycle spaces and car parking spaces is considered sufficient for the use
and as demonstrated above, the proposal complies with Performance outcome PO35 with the
Driveways and Parking Code.
