Planning & Environment Court Appeal No 2611 Of 2024 - MCU23/0105 Application For A Material Change Of Use For Multiple Dwelling (6 Small Dwellings), Food And Drink Outlet And Office At 2 Bottlebrush Avenue, Noosa Heads · Attachment 3 - Planning Coordinators Delegate Report - MCU23-0105

•       Dual Occupancy & Multiple Dwelling Code;
•       Business Activities Code
•       Works Codes;
•       Landslide Hazard Overlay Code
3.2.1 Major Centre Zone Code
The proposed mix of uses are consistent with the overall outcomes of the code providing for higher
density living within a mixed use development, with food and drink outlets located at the lower level
and 6 small dwelling units located on the upper levels.
It is noted that PO13 of the Code details that development where fronting Bottlebrush Avenue is to
be used for office or health services to the exclusion of shops, food and drink outlets and
entertainment uses. The development has been designed with the food and drink outlets located
below Bottlebrush Avenue in a basement with all access off Noosa Drive. The development is
considered to meet the overall outcomes as these uses do not front Bottlebrush Avenue.
In terms of the proposed design, the table below provides an assessment of the proposed against
the general built form parameters of the Noosa Plan for the development.
