18 - 18 Hastings St Noosa Heads - Planning Report · MCU19/0061

         The amusement venue is proposed in an existing active shopping centre and is complementary to
         adjacent shops. Being an existing complex, there is adequate infrastructure already in place to cater
         for the proposed development.

         The proposal has been assessed against the Specific Outcomes of the Business Uses Code. The
         proposal is a reuse of an existing tenancy in an existing building which has been established on the site
         for over 30 years. The whole of the Bay Village complex has the services and facilities available to the
         tenancy in accordance with the requirements for all Businesses. The inclusion of the proposed
         development on the site does not trigger any further services or facility requirement or create any
         additional demands on the areas currently available.

         The assessment of the development against the Specific Outcomes demonstrates that the proposed
         development complies with the intent of the code and warrants approval. Hastings Street is identified
         on the Planning Scheme Strategy Map (Map SM) as a Visitor Centre. As an Entertainment and Dining
         Business Use Type 2 Recreation, amusement & fitness, in a Visitor Centre the proposed development is
         a complementary use to the retail uses that would normally be expected within a town or village centre
         and would normally be expected in a precinct where entertainment and recreational opportunities are
         available within a mixed use area.

         The proposed use is within an existing building which has been established for over 30 years. The
         proposed development will occupy an existing tenancy within the existing building. No changes are
         proposed to waste storage areas and no additional footprint is created by the proposal which increases
         the demand or use of waste storage areas. The proposed development will not create waste of a type
         that is likely to cause nuisance to adjoining properties.

         Sound levels on individual machines and devices have little to no impact on surrounding uses as these
         will be kept low and the venue will have its own self-contained sound system to minimise impact on the
         surrounding environment. Hours of operation are also proposed to be confined to 9:00am to 9:00pm.

     Advertising Devices Codes
         Signage proposed in respect of the development is all contained within the existing shopping complex.
         As such, the proposed development is consistent with the Overall Outcomes of the Advertising Devices
         Code. Should there be a need to advertise externally on the building, this will be controlled within existing
         signage face areas on the Bay Village Shopping Complex site. Any further signage requirement would
         be subject to separate application.

         Driveways and Car Parking Code

         The Noosa Plan states the overall outcomes sought for the Driveways and Car Parking Code are the
         following:

    a)    To ensure safe and reasonable access from the public road edge to and from vehicle accommodation
          and standing areas within the property;

    b)    The safety of pedestrians and cyclists is protected;

    c)    Car parking spaces and the associated manoeuvring areas provided are designed to be safe and
          functional and meet the reasonable requirements of the particular land use;

    d)    Adequate provision is made for the standing, parking, loading and unloading, access and
          manoeuvring of service vehicles within the development site;
