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

    e)      Development does not adversely impact on existing public parking; and

    f)      Vehicular access does not impact adversely upon existing landscaping or native vegetation.

         The proposed development is re-use of an existing floor space within an existing shopping complex. An
         existing carpark complying with the required parking for the Visitor Mixed Use Zone is located at the rear
         of the premises for use by the entire shopping complex. As such, the change of use from Retail Business
         Type 1 Shop or Salon to Entertainment and Dining Business Type 2 Recreation, amusement & fitness is
         the catalyst to consider any variation required to existing car parking.

         Table 5: Car parking Comparison compares the car parking requirement for the existing use versus the
         proposed use. The table demonstrates that the required car parking for the proposed development is
         less than for the existing use. Furthermore, there is no need for any changes to existing driveway access
         or parking configuration.

         It is held that the proposed development complies with the code requirement for car parking and
         satisfies car parking requirements identified by the planning scheme.

       Natural Hazards Code
         The entire site is mapped as High Potential Acid Sulphate Area 0-5m AHD) as evidenced in Figure 10:
         Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Map Extract below. The proposed development is reuse of part of an existing
         building and will not result in the disturbance of soil

         This report demonstrates that the Natural Hazards Code is not relevant to the proposed development
         in this instance.
