              Subject Site




At a general level, the site is located in Noosa Junction and commerical uses
therfore dominate the character of the surrounding area and this is reflected in the
uses that immediately adjoin the site. Directly to the south of the application site,
the two storey building has a variety of retail shops at ground level with a mix of
office and medical uses on the upper floor. The single storey building to the north
of the site has a series of retail tenancies fronting Sunshine Beach Road. Directly to
the east of the property is Sunshine Beach Road and to the west the application
site abuts the rear of the commercial properties that front Lanyana Way.

The aerial photo in Figure 1 illustrates that there is no on site parking and previous
discussions with Council Officers have confirmed that parking credits in lieu of a
financial contribution towards off site parking provision elsewhere within Noosa
Junction, were applied when the original building was approved. These cedits can
still be applied to any changes of use within the existing building.

As Council will be aware, Hillsong Church hold services each Sunday at the J on
Noosa Drive, approximately 400m to the north of the application site. These
services will continue to operate at the J.


3.0     Description of Development
As mentioned above, the application seeks approval to use the first floor of the
existing building for a number of social and administration activities associated with
the Hillsong Church. At present, these activities take place at a number of different
locations and the Church has been looking for some time to find suitable premises
