4.2      Key issues
4.2.1 Retail/Residential Use Split
Although the Specific Outcomes seek for the redevelopment of the site as a mixed use development
- The relevant Overall Outcomes of The Noosa Plan seek for Hastings Street’s character of low-rise
buildings, vibrant pedestrian friendly streetscape, mix of indoor and outdoor activities, diverse dining
opportunities, specialty retail businesses and pedestrian links to Main Beach is maintained. Retail
businesses shall be of interest to visitors and comprise small business outlets with individual
character, which respects the scale and character of the streetscape and surrounding development.
The proposed development seeks to utilise the existing building and establish the Golden Breed surf
brand within the small specialty retail tenancy. The Golden Breed surf brand, which has operated on
the adjoining site for over a decade and is well-known as a boutique surf fashion label that builds on
the iconic heritage surf status of the 1960s and 1970s. The shop is one of several concept stores
which includes Byron Bay, Coolangatta and Flinders.
Several development approvals have been granted on the adjoining site at 15 Noosa Drive for the
Golden Breed surf shop (which have not been associated with a mixed-use residential development
- MCU14/0053 & 08/0890). All the recent approvals have been given under The Noosa Plan
provisions and recognise the reuse of the existing buildings as small-scale retail tenancies providing
goods and services to visitors and residents.
The proposed small surf shop is the same scale as that which was established on the adjoining site
(<100m2 in use area). Furthermore, the change of use from a car rental centre to a shop uses the
existing building footprint and does not change impact on the existing retail hierarchies.
The shop includes a large outdoor retail area which is to be decked and provides for a unique indoor/
outdoor shop front – giving the tenancy a ‘market feel’ like the Hasting’s Street retailers of the 70s
and 80s. The shop is set amongst existing vegetation and respects the character of the streetscape
and surrounding development consistent with the overall outcomes of the plan as demonstrated in
the site photo below.
