PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                     12 JUNE 2018


3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The application must be assessed against the whole of the Noosa Plan to the extent the
provisions are relevant to the development.
Locality Provisions
The subject site is located in the Eastern Beaches Locality and is zoned Attached Housing. The
proposed use is defined as an inconsistent use within the zone and is required to follow an
impact assessable application process.
The most applicable Overall Outcomes of the Locality Code are shown below.
Overall Outcome 7.7.2 of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code—
     a)    New uses and works are located, designed and managed to—
           i.     be compatible with other uses and works;
           ii.    maintain the safety of people and works;
           iii.   avoid significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users of other
                  premises, including acoustic and visual qualities;
           iv.    avoid significant adverse impacts on the natural environment, including native
                  habitat removal, fragmentation and attrition; and
           v.     protect the natural beach experience and overall visual amenity for beach
                  users;
     e)    the Eastern Beaches Locality retains its primary role as a residential area, though
           continues to provide some visitor accommodation and a range of local retail and
           commercial functions at Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach and Peregian Beach;
           and specifically for Sunrise Beach:
     gg)   For Sunrise Beach—
           i.     Sunrise Beach provides a high proportion of detached houses and some
                  Multiple housing and is attractive to families and permanent residents for its
                  relatively easy access to the beach and local services and facilities;
           ii.    local shopping services, schools and other community facilities are located in
                  Ben Lexcen Drive serving local residents both within and outside the locality,
                  whilst higher order services are available in Noosa Junction and Noosaville;
                  and
           iii.   development in the Sunrise Beach neighbourhood centre (on land zoned
                  Neighbourhood Centre on Map ZM4), expresses a pedestrian scale, and
                  provides integrated landscaping and car parking areas and allows opportunities
                  for outdoor dining and meeting, which contributes to the character and vitality of
                  the centre;
The Overall Outcomes do not provide much support for the subject food and beverage business,
with the Outcomes supportive of residential uses in this location with convenience shopping
activities located in the existing centres at Sunshine Beach and the Ben Lexcen Drive
Neighbourhood Centre at Sunrise Beach. Overall Outcome gg) i provides limited support which
seeks to provide easy access to local services and facilities.
While the previously approved general store may have provided convenience shopping (local
services) for some time, the larger Sunshine Beach and Sunrise Beach (at Ben Lexcen Drive)
centres now fulfil those needs. However, in terms of a near the beach breakfast, lunch or coffee
experience, unlike Sunshine Beach, this part of Sunrise Beach is isolated from these food and
beverage services, being more than 1 kilometre from either centre.
