                                                                       Kitchen Shed 3/9 Lionel Donovan Drive, Noosaville




The proposal does not comprise a use with large components of retail areas. The Retail Business Type 2 – Shop & Salon use
is associated with the Industrial Business Type 2 component and (as confirmed with Council) relates to a minor component
(approx. 5%) of total GFA. Whilst Council consider this component to comprise its own specific use, it should be noted that
the operation, use and function of this part of the building will be primarily related to the food production business. The
sale of retail food products is considered to be complimentary to and ancillary to the industry use.

The total GFA of retail is 19.7m2. In terms of the overall proposed GFA of the development, this represents approximately
5% of use area, which is a minor and complimentary component of the larger approved consistent use. This use comprises
is not considered significant in the context of the DEO.

The site is located outside the hierarchy of centres but is not quarantined by the planning scheme for purely industrial uses.
The site is envisaged for various retail uses under the Industrial zoning including landscape yards, rural supplies, service
stations, hardware stores and various Type 5 uses including boat, truck and motor vehicle hire premises. Given the above,
and the minor nature of the retailing component, it is considered that the proposal is able to sufficiently demonstrate
compliance with the Commercial & Retail Uses DEO.

The Industrial Business Uses DEO is also considered to be of relevance to the proposed development. The proposal has
been assessed against the relevant item (vii) of the Industrial Business Uses DEO, which reads:

“Industrial uses and extractive and mining uses—

         vii.     protects industrial areas, valuable extractive and mineral resources and associated heavy vehicle haul
                  routes, particularly from the encroachment of incompatible development, for the ongoing benefit of the
                  community; and…”

Comment: This DEO is considered to be relevant for two reasons, firstly because part of the proposal involves an existing
Industrial Business use and secondly, as the land is zoned Industry there may be perceived concerns with the protection of
industrial land for Industrial Business uses and other compatible uses.

The major proportion of this site (approx. 95% of the GFA) is for uses that are deemed ‘consistent’ under the planning
scheme. Hence, the proposed development by its nature is supporting the achievement of this DEO. For reasons already
set out earlier, the ‘inconsistent’ uses are considered complimentary to the other main uses and minor elements of this
proposal.

In all, the proposal is considered to relate to compatible development, will not result in a significant loss of industrial land
and will provide for community benefits in terms of filling a local convenience need and not impacting on existing retailers
– rather complementing the higher order retailing that already services the population of the surrounding locality. As such,
for the reasons above, it is our view that the proposal does not impact on the hierarchy of centres or industrial areas and
furthermore, it is appropriate in light of the relevant planning scheme DEOs.
