1.0 Introduction
Dear Sir/Madam
This report has been prepared subject to a development application for a combined material
change of use and associated operational works to develop vacant land in accordance with the
regulatory provisions of the Noosa Plan.
We as the applicants have been engaged by our client, Paul Winter whom is acting on behalf
of all land owners as outline on the attached registered title.
1.1 Proposal
Development is proposed, comprising seven individual tenancies within one building. The building is
of a tilt-slab concrete construction, with each tenancy divided by a tilt-panel fire insulated wall. Each
tenancy has been designed to be of similar size (being 123.4-125.0sq.m respectively excluding
mezzanines) and shape, with the exception of tenancy 1 which has been configured due to the site
constraints. Three tenancies have proposed caretaker’s residences, these are located in buildings 7, 6
and 5 and are positioned towards the rear of the site. All buildings have been designed and orientated
towards the east, ensuring afternoon heat and glare from the west is absorbed into the rear tilt-panel
concrete wall. Eaves are incorporated into the building design and are an essential element of the built
form.
Car parking has been proposed on the eastern boundary and is separated from the property boundary
by 1.15M (approximately). This area is proposed as landscaping. Additional landscaping has been
provided at the front of the site between Vision Crt and the proposed building, and at the rear of the
site between the rear property boundaries and the building. Landscape species selected are endemic to
the Noosa shire and the design achieves bulk, scale and clumping so as to mitigate the visual scale and
bulk of the built structure.

2.0 Site Context
2.1 Site location
The site is part of the Noosa Industrial Park which is centrally located amongst the
established industrial precinct of Noosaville (see figure 1). Situated 7 minutes’ drive from
Hastings Street and less than 1 Kilometre from Noosa’s Shire business centre and shopping
centre.
Noosa Eumundi Road acts as a major feeder road in and out of the Noosa region from the
Bruce Highway and is the main spine road through the Noosaville industrial precinct.
Noosaville Industrial Park offers access to Eumundi Road from both Venture Drive and
Gateway Drive and will link road the two precincts together improving traffic flow and the
volume of passing traffic through the area.
Venture Drive, to the east is a mix of existing industrial developments, comprising of local
businesses. Gateway Drive to the south-east is also a mix of industrial developments,
accommodating a diverse mix of local businesses – excluding the newly developed Bunnings
Warehouse. The subject site is one of many newly created lots that now link the two
industrial precincts together.
Figure 2 indicates zoning.
The existing vacant site subject of this application forms as a second stage to the newly
created lots fronting Venture Drive. Development has been recently completed on several lots
on Venture Drive, with future development planned to begin in the near future also. The site
is clear of any mature vegetation as a result of operational works and the creation of lots. The
proposed development on site includes a mix of deep rooted and soft planted landscaping,
totalling 15.0% of the sites area, and will result in the provision of endemic species and shade
trees to soften the built form and visual appearance of the street.

3.0 State Planning Consideration
The proposed development is located within the Urban Footprint of the South East
Queensland Regional Plan.
Urban Footprint Intent;
The Urban Footprint identifies land that can meet the region’s urban development
needs to 2031 in a more compact form (SEQRP, 2017).
Description;
The Urban Footprint includes established urban areas, broad hectare and remnant
broad hectare areas that could be suitable for future urban development. It incorporates the
full range of urban uses, including housing, industry, business, infrastructure, community
facilities and urban open space (SEQRP, 2017).
Further to this Local Government planning schemes are the main instrument to which will
refine the desired use of the land and the preferred timing of development within the Urban
Footprint.
Comment; Upon consideration of this proposed development against the provisions of
the Noosa Planning Scheme and the relevant parts of the South East Queensland Regional
Plan, the proposed development is consistent with the overall intent for the land and area of
which it is proposed.
4.0 State Planning Policy Consideration
The proposed development was considered against the criteria of the State Planning Policy
(SPP), Part E – Assessment Benchmarks. It was identified that the subject application does
not require assessment against assessment benchmarks within Part E of the Policy, as matters
associated with the climate condition storm tides and flooding have been dealt with via the
local planning instrument and the statements atop of this page (State Planning Consideration).

5.0 Level of assessment
5.1 Synopsis
Description of Use Industrial Business Type 2
Ancillary Dwelling Unit
Approval Being Sought Material Change of Use & Operational
Works
Level of Assessment Code Assessment.
Referral Agencies None applicable.
Chapter 3, Part 1 of the Planning Act 2016 (PA), stipulates Types of Development and
Assessment. Section 44 of the PA lists the categories of development as follows;
(1) There are 3 categories of development, namely prohibited, assessable or accepted
development.
(2) Prohibited development is development for which a development application may not be
made.
(3) Assessable development is development for which a development approval is required.
(4) Accepted development is development for which a development approval is not required.
Section 45, point (1) of the PA then refers categories of assessment as Code and Impact when
development is Assessable.
Section 45, point (2) of the PA then gives authority of a categorizing instrument to determine
the categories of assessment that must be carried out for the development.
For this application, the relative categorizing instrument is that of which is prescribed by the
Noosa Plan; Division 11 – Table 11.9 (Assessment Table for the Industry Zone)
This application seeks approval for a material change of use of vacant industrial land to be
developed and accommodate Industrial Business Type 2 activity and three Ancillary Dwelling
Building Suncoast Green 9
Page 10
Units. Approval is also sought for operational works which involves earthworks, vehicle
parking, access way, hardstand pedestrian infrastructure, landscaping and connection to
reticulated water, sewerage and underground electricity.
The Planning Act 2016 defines this work as assessable development, and is deemed a code
assessment application under the provisions of Division 11 – Table 11.9 (Assessment Table
for the Industry Zone)
The operational works component of this application is code assessment, being work
consistent with the industrial business activity.
The development does not require referral to any external referral agencies.
6.0 Local planning consideration
6.1 Land Use Definition
The proposed development at the above mentioned address, has been defined by the Noosa
Plan as;
Primary Use – Business
Use Class – Industrial Business; means the conduct of an industrial business activity, where
goods or products are produced, manufactured, dismantled, altered, repackaged, repaired or
stored at a scale of greater than that defined by retail business. The use includes the sale of
goods, resulting from such operations, provided that sales space does not exceed 20% of the
use area. Any space dedicated for administration or accounting work in connection with such
operations does not exceed 20% of the use area. The term includes the following types
Use – Type 2 Production, alteration, repackaging & repairing.
The use of premises for the production, manufacturing, dismantling, altering, cleaning, re-
packaging, freezing or repairing of goods. The use includes food industries, textiles,
mechanical, boat repair, sandblasting
Primary Use – Residential
Use – Ancillary Dwelling Unit.
Building Suncoast Green 10
Page 11
Ancillary dwelling unit means the use of premises for a caretaker’s residence or employee
residence associated with a non-residential use on the same premises where:
• There is no other dwelling unit on the premises, except where the non-residential use
is an agricultural use;
• The gross floor area of the dwelling unit does not exceed 150m2;
• The dwelling unit is subordinate to the non-residential use;
• The dwelling unit is attached to or within 25m of the non-residential use; and
• The dwelling unit is occupied by the owner of the non-residential use or somebody
employed in the non-residential use.
6.2 Locality and Zone
The subject development is located in the Noosaville locality – Map area 8, within the
industry zone of the Noosa Council.
The overall outcomes sought for the Noosaville Locality are the following—
a) New uses and works are located, designed and managed to—
1. be compatible with other uses and works;
2. maintain the safety of people and works;
3. avoid significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users of other
premises, including acoustic and visual qualities; and
4. avoid significant adverse effects on the natural environment, including
native habitat removal, fragmentation and attrition;
b) Development is consistent with the Priority Infrastructure Plan in Part 15.
The proposed development is recognised as a consistent use and is compatible with and
complimentary to the mix of industrial business uses within the surrounding area.
All development works and business operations will be carried out according to work health
and safety requirements. The proposed development includes landscaping for visual
screening and potential acoustic impacts will be managed to a level that is acceptable within
an Industrial area.
The subject site is currently vacant as it has been cleared for the development and
reconfiguring of new lots creating further available lots in the industrial park.

7.0 Applicable codes and overlays
The following Codes and Overlays have been identified as needed assessment against the
proposed development.
Noosaville Locality Code; (refer section 8.2.1 – 8.2.3)
Business Uses Code;
Landscaping Code;
Biodiversity Overlay Code;
Ancillary Dwelling Unit – (Caretakers Unit)
Natural Hazards Overlay Code;
Engineering Works Codes;
o Driveways and Car parking Code;
o Earthworks Code;
o Erosion and Sediment Control Code;
o Existing Services Code;
o Transport, Roads and Drainage Code;
o Waste Management Code;
o Water Sensitive Design Code;
Comment: An assessment of the Business Use Code, Landscaping Code and Driveways and
Car parking Code has been completed and included in Appendix 1.
This code assessment has determined that the proposal generally complies with all probable
solutions and specific outcomes. The proposal has been determined not to comply with the
probable solutions with respect to bicycle parking and car parking. Further, the proposal has
also failed to comply entirely with the Building Works code with respect to building setbacks
as specified in schedule 1. We believe the proposal does comply with the Specific Outcomes
of the relevant codes, and has been discussed below accordingly.
The proposed development does not comply with Probable Solution 31.2 of the Business
Uses code (Bicycle Parking). As per Figure 14.1, 1 bicycle space per 100sq.m GFA is require
for Industrial Business Type 2 activity. The proposal has provided 1 bicycle space per
tenancy equating to a total of 7 spaces. We believe this generally still complies with the
intentions of the planning scheme, ensuring development promotes alternative means of
Building Suncoast Green 12
Page 13
transport other than a motor vehicle. Further, given the small nature of the proposed tenancies
being approximately 180 sq.m (including mezzanines) and the anticipated low staff and or
visitor numbers based on intended use, we believe further bicycle parking is not warranted
and should be reconsidered in this context.
The proposed development does not comply with Probable Solution 7.1 of the Driveways and
Parking code (Table 14-51 Vehicle Parking Requirements). The proposal has provided a total
of 20 car parks and 3 motorcycle parks. Table 14-51 determines the industrial activity GFA
attracts 18 car spaces with an additional 3 spaces required for the caretakers residences
(Ancillary dwelling unit). To achieve compliance with Noosa Councils Motorcycle and
Scooter Parking Policy the proposal replaced a vehicle car park for 3 motorcycle spaces. As a
result the total number of parking is 1 short of the planning schemes requirement.
We believe the proposed development complies the Specific Outcome (7) of the Driveways
and Parking code as sufficient parking (all vehicle types) are provided for onsite based on the
intended activity and intensity of the use. At this time the exact business types are unknown,
however due to the small nature of the proposed tenancies, it is not anticipated that being 1
car space short will have negatively impact on surrounding business nor future on-site
businesses.
The proposed development does not comply with the Probable Solution 1.1 of the Building
Works code – Schedule 1, Minimum Boundary Setbacks. The subject sites front boundary is
not parallel to the rear boundary. As such has resulted in parts of the building fronting the
street having a setback of less than 6.0M. The specific dimensions of the conflict can be seen
on the attached Building Design Plans by Building Suncoast Green. In summary the building
is setback from the street 6.5M and an average of 4.5M. However, the building has been
designed to mitigate the visual impacts of this encroachment via stepping the building. The
building also includes 600mm eaves overhang which reduces the visual bulk of the
encroachment. We believe the proposal complies and achieves the specific outcomes of this
code.
Building Suncoast Green 13
Page 14
The remainder of the Codes identified in section 7.0 above in Italics have been addressed
below fittingly.
7.1 Biodiversity Overlay Code
The proposed development is identified as being in the Environmental Protection Area. The
subject site is located within the industrial zone on land that has been cleared and prepared
for future development purposes. Currently the site does not contain any natural and
regulated vegetation or regional ecosystems. At most, vegetation on the site is sections of re-
growth and small to medium sized groupings of grass species. The proposed development
will include landscaped sections facing the street totalling 269.2sqm which will include
preferred endemic species suited to the area, (refer to attached landscape plans for details).
This is meets the required landscape requirements as specified in the relevant sections of the
Planning Scheme.
As a result vegetation and biodiversity of the site will be improved, as will surrounding sites
with future development anticipated. Erosion and sediment control measures will be
implemented during construction and appropriate drainage networks will be put in place to
ensure minimal impact on the surrounding waterways from runoff from the site.
7.2 Caretaker’s Unit – (Ancillary Dwelling Unit)
The proposed development includes three ancillary dwelling units in three separate premises.
This is a consistent use within the Industrial Business Area of which this development is
proposed. In consideration of the definition of the Ancillary Dwelling Unity (Caretaker’s
Unit) it was found that the proposal was compliant with the parameters of the definition, and
that the proposed Units are ancillary to the industrial activity. Please see attached Building
Design Concept Drawings reflecting this statement
7.3 Earthworks Code
The proposed development achieves the specific outcomes of the Earth Works Code as
detailed in the attached Engineering Drawings.
7.4 Erosion and Sediment Control Code
The proposed development achieves the specific outcomes of the Erosion and Sediment
Control Code as detailed in the attached Engineering Drawings.
Building Suncoast Green 14
Page 15
7.5 Existing Services Code
The proposed development achieves the specific outcomes of the Existing Services Code as
detailed in the attached Engineering Drawings
7.6 Transport, Roads and Drainage Code
The proposed development achieves the specific outcomes of the Transport, Roads and
Drainage Code as detailed in the attached Engineering Drawings. There is no existing
pedestrian/cycle path infrastructure completed at present, however the proposed development
has been designed to accommodate such infrastructure in this proposal. Refer to Empire
Engineers civil drawings.
7.7 Waste Management Code
The proposed development achieves the specific outcomes of the Waste Management Code
as contained within Table 14-60. Please refer to the attached Building Design Drawings
prepared by us reflecting the detail, location, storage and waste management receptor as
required within the applicable table
7.8 Water Sensitive Design Code
The proposed development achieves the specific outcome of the Water Sensitive Design
Code as detailed in the attached Engineering Drawings.
8.0 Conclusion
In conclusion we find this development to be compliant with the overall outcomes of the
applicable codes and provisions of the Noosa Planning Scheme. If Council requires any further
assistance regarding this application please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Yours Sincerely
Debbie Johnson
