Town Planning Report - Final April 2016

                                                                    15024 – Noosa Council April 2016




6.2.2     Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions for the Semi-Attached Housing Zone
While the subject land is not located in the Semi-Attached Housing Zone, the provisions
are relevant to the subject land. In particular under specific outcome O29 Consistent Uses,
it is stated that Commercial Business Types 1 and 2 are consistent uses where located on
the western side of David Low Way, between 215 and 253 David Low Way, Peregian Beach
inclusive.

The subject land includes 253 David Low Way. Consequently, the planning scheme
supports a Commercial Business Type 1 Office use on the western side of David Low Way
for Stage 1 of the development. Further, it is suggested that the development of the land
at 255 David Low Way for a Commercial Business Type 1 Office use is a logical extension
of this type of use and should be allowed to extend to Woodland Drive.

Having regard to the other specific outcomes, the proposed development complies with
O32 in terms of the built forms contributing positively to the streetscape, in particular by
presenting as small buildings having a domestic scale and appearance and making use of
lightweight design features, balconies, maximum wall lengths, roof pitching and
complementary textures and materials.

Under specific outcome O34 Professional Offices, the development provides for small
scale businesses of a domestic scale and appearance with carparking mostly provided to
the rear of the site, generally having low traffic generation.

6.2.3     Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions for the Community Services Zone
An assessment has been undertaken against the most relevant specific outcomes for the
Community Services Zone below:

Specific Outcomes O64 & O65 Consistent and Inconsistent Uses:
The proposed office development is located primarily within the Community Services
Zone; however the proposed carparking for this use extends into the Open Space
Recreation Zone. The proposed Commercial Business Type 1 Office use is not a use that
is consistent in this zone; however it is noted that the Entertainment and Dining Type 1
Food and Beverages is a consistent use where in conjunction with a Community Use.

While the proposed office use is not a consistent use, the Council has recently adopted
the Rufous Street Master Plan, which has been developed following a an extensive
community consultation process. This Master Plan is a planning study that is to inform
the new planning scheme and therefore should be given considerable weight.

The proposed development is entirely consistent with the Master Plan. Further, to the
extent there is any conflict with this and any other provisions, the Economic Needs
Analysis (Attachment 5) reveals that there is a significant need for this type of office space
