1.0     INTRODUCTION
This town planning report has been prepared on behalf of the applicant, Empirica
Developments Pty Ltd. The report is submitted to the Noosa Council as part of a
development application for Material Change of Use over land at 139 Eumundi Noosa Road
& 30 Lionel Donovan Drive, Noosaville, for the following range of uses:

       Industrial Business Type 2 – Production, Alteration, Repackaging & Repairing;
       Industrial Business Type 1 – Warehouse;
       Retail Business Type 6 – Hardware Store;
       Retail Business Type 5 – Vehicle Uses (service station);
       Retail Business Type 2 – Shop & Salon (service station shop); and
       Entertainment and Dining Business Type 1 – Food & Beverages (tradie’s café).

The proposal has been designed as an integrated scheme over the 2 parcels of land,
considered to be a significant improvement to the current use of the land. The proposal will
comprise 3 standalone buildings with various tenancies and will assume a total GFA of
2,617m2. The existing ingress and egress from Eumundi Noosa Road will be removed and
reinstated approximately 10m further south on the site with an additional ingress/egress to
Lionel Donovan Drive.

The site is located in the Urban Footprint under the South East Queensland Regional Plan
2009-2031. The Noosa Plan 2006 (the planning scheme) includes the site in the Noosaville
Locality as well as the Industry Zone. The various uses associated with the proposal are
consistent land uses in the Industry Zone other than the proposed Entertainment and Dining
Business (‘tradie’s café’) and ‘Shop’ component of the service station. These components
will elevate the application to Impact Assessable.

This report will discuss the characteristics of the subject site and its surrounding uses as well as
providing a detailed assessment of the application against the relevant provisions of the
local and state planning instruments. In particular, a detailed assessment of the proposal
against the relevant Desired Environmental Outcomes (DEO), the Noosaville Locality Code,
the Business Uses Code and applicable Works Codes will be provided.

Finally, this report demonstrates in accordance with the relevant sections of the Sustainable
Planning Act 2009 (the Act) that sufficient grounds are provided in favour of the application
and on this basis the application should be approved, subject to relevant and reasonable
conditions.
