                                                                      Kitchen Shed 3/9 Lionel Donovan Drive, Noosaville




7.         SEQ Regional Plan
The subject site is located within the Urban Footprint of the South East Queensland Regional Plan. The proposed use is
consistent with the SEQ Regional Plans intent for the urban footprint land use area.


8.         Noosa Planning Scheme Considerations

8.1        Land Use Definition
The proposed development has been defined under the Noosa Plan as;

Primary Use: Business Use

Use Class: Retail business – means the conduct of a business activity, where goods or services are displayed or offered for
sale to the public.

Use: Type 2 – Shop and Salon: The use of premises for an activity that is generally found in a shopping complex, strip or
centre. The use includes a shop, hairdressing salon, appliance repairs, alterations, dry cleaning and a café with dining
facilities for up to 10 people.

Comment: The existing use is a take away café with seating for up to 10 persons as an ancillary use to the Industrial Business
Type 2 that occurs on the site. It is an inconsistent use requiring impact assessment.


8.2        Desired Environmental Outcomes
As per Section 11.3.3 (Part 11 – Noosaville Locality Plan) of the planning scheme, ‘for impact assessable development, the
development is assessed against the whole planning scheme.’

The following assessment against the relevant Desired Environmental Outcomes (DEOs), demonstrates that the proposed
development does not undermine the main aims or intent of the planning scheme.

The DEOs are statements of broad policy at a shire-wide level, and form the foundation from which other provisions of the
Noosa Plan are developed. Part 3 of the planning scheme contains 12 DEOs, each relating to a specific policy.

The Commercial & Retail Uses DEO is considered to be of most relevance to the proposed development. The proposal has
been assessed against the relevant item (viii) of the Commercial & Retail Uses DEO, which reads:

“A hierarchy of centres with a range of Commercial and Retail business uses provide suitable levels of amenity, service and
access to the community, consistent with the community’s location and needs and is based on—

         viii.    Uses that comprise a large component of Commercial and Retail business uses or
                  other non-industrial uses are not located on land that is otherwise intended for
                  Industrial business uses;…”

Comment: The foundation of this DEO is the hierarchy of centres which identifies a tiered network of centres, each with a
described function and preferred scales and types of retail and commercial uses. The centres within the hierarchy are
identified on the Planning Scheme Strategy Map and range from the Shire Business Centre at Noosaville through to small
village centres. Given that the development includes a ‘retail’ element and the site is located outside of a centre it is
necessary to demonstrate that the proposed retail element will not impact on the hierarchy.

Whilst the Retail Business Type 2 – Shop & Salon is identified as an inconsistent use in the Industry Zone, the existing
Industrial Business Type 2 is deemed self assessable, consistent and supported within the Industry Zone. As such, any
potential conflict with the hierarchy of centres and this DEO must be viewed in this context.
