9. Conclusions
       This report has been prepared by RG Strategic to accompany a Development Application made by
       Taikong Australia Pty Ltd (the applicant). The application seeks a Development Permit for a Material
       Change of Use for Type 2 Recreation, amusement & fitness at 18/18 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads and
       is formally described as Part of Lot 18 on SP140844.

       The site is within an existing Strata Titled shopping centre known as Bay Village on Hastings which
       established on the site over 30 years ago.

       This report demonstrates that the proposed development is permitted pursuant to the provisions of the
       Planning Act 2016 and the Noosa Plan 2017, and the proposed development can be supported on a
       number of grounds, including:

          •    The proposal complies with the State Development Assessment Provisions and State Planning
               Policy, where applicable.

          •    The proposal is consistent with the overall outcomes of the Noosa Heads Locality.

          •    The proposal is consistent with the Visitor Mixed Use Zone.

          •    The proposal complies with the Business Uses Code.

          •    The proposal supports the achievement of the vision for Noosa Shire.

          •    The proposal will not result in detrimental impacts to the surrounding area and will provide
               positive economic benefits to the area and recreational and amusement opportunities that are
               currently not present in the Hastings Street Area.

          •    The proposed development is a reuse of part of an existing building which accommodates
               complementary retail, dining and entertainment uses.

          •    The subject site is of a sufficient size and location to accommodate the proposed development;

          •    The site is well located to existing pedestrian, cycle and public transport routes;

          •    Existing urban infrastructure currently services the site;

          •    Sufficient car parking is provided; and

          •    No new buildings or alterations to the external built form are proposed on-site.

       For the reasons above, it is recommended that Noosa Council approve the application subject to
       reasonable and relevant conditions.
