The Hastings Unit 19 - Planning Report · 51983.3225.13

1.   Summary

Transmission Brokers Pty Ltd (the Applicant) have engaged RG Strategic to seek a development
permit for a change to the existing development approval for Unit 19 “The Hastings” at 30 Hasting
Street, Noosa Heads 4567. The desired change involves the revision of the submitted architectural
plans, approved in the early 1980s (TPC 1632), wherein a Visitor Accommodation Type 4 was
approved.

The applicant seeks approval to reinvest in the modernisation of a current use through incorporating
contemporary design and materials which enhances the visual amenity and utility of the
development. It is requested that the proposed architectural plans as per Appendix A succeed the
approved plans.

The subject site is formally described as Lot 19 on GTP 1154 at “The Hastings”, 30 Hastings Street as
shown on Figure 1 Site Location Map and Figure 2 Cadastral Plan.

The proposal constitutes ‘development’ as defined by Schedule 2 of the Planning Act 2016. This
report demonstrates that the proposed Change is permitted and provides details of the nature of
the proposal, describes the site characteristics and surrounding land uses, and provides a statutory
assessment against the intent of the Noosa Plan 2006. These matters are set out in;

          • Proposed development intent;

          • Description of the characteristics of site and surrounds;

          • Proposed development details;

          • An assessment of the proposal against the Noosa Plan 2006; and

          • A conclusion that provides summary grounds which support the proposed
               development.



The proposed Change to the existing Development Approval (TPC 1632) establishes an efficient
development outcome whilst ensuring that the existing coastal character of the area is preserved
and enhanced.

This report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying covering letter, DA Form and
attachments. The proposed Change is consistent with the intent of the Noosa Plan 2006 for the
subject land and warrants approval subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
