6.0 Conclusion
This application seeks a Development Permit for Material Change of Use Retail Business Type 2 -
Shop at 13 Noosa Dr, Noosa Heads. The proposal is Impact assessable development under The
Noosa Plan. The assessment finds the development meets the relevant Specific and Overall
Outcomes of the Noosa Plan subject to the following grounds of approval:

   1.      The proposed surf shop is small scale (<100m2) and appropriately located with individual
           character to contribute to the local economy and vibrancy of the Hastings St precinct.
   2.      The Retail Business is associated with the surf tourism trade, which is of interest to
           visitors. The reuse of the existing building respects the scale and character of the
           streetscape and surrounding development and does not impact on the Noosa Shire
           Centres Hierarchy.
   3.      The proposed development is less intensive and improves the existing parking
           arrangements on the site associated with a motor vehicle hire business.
   4.      The proposal provides adequate parking onsite consistent with the Probable Solutions,
           Specific Outcomes and Overall Outcomes of the Noosa Plan’s Driveways and Carparking
           Code.

The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is
therefore recommended. Please contact me if you require any further information and/or clarification
with respect to the above application.
