5.      ADVICE & INFORMATION

Lisa Pienaar, Development Planner – Comments
Is the supermarket expansion going to be part of the application?
1.      Answers to Questions raised as follows:
        1. Confirmation of the existing Shopping Centre GFA:
             The total approved use area of the development is 4,568m2. Allowable GFA under
             Noosa Plan 2020 is 0.8:1 up to 2,000m2 and then 0.3:1 for balance, totalling
             5735.8m2 for the site.
        2. Confirmation of the total number of existing car parking spaces in the shopping
           centre:
             The existing approval (131999.982622.5) seeks that 278 off-street car parking
             spaces (including 31 spaces on the adjoining hotel site - Lot 2 on RP842280) shall
             be provided with at least 6 of the spaces suitable for use by persons with disabilities.
        3. Confirmation of the existing development approvals that will be the subject of the
           minor change application. eg: MCU or OPW or both:
             The proposal will be a minor change to 131999.982622.
        4. Discussion around the concept of no nett loss in car parking spaces due to the
           proposed pick-up facility reducing the existing parking demand because online
           shoppers will not park for long periods of time to do their shopping in the store:
             Comment from Mark Lewis: It is advised to seek the opinion from a Traffic engineer
             with respect to the loss of car spaces on site and how the spaces will be used. Please
             submit this documentation with the application.
        5. Proposed canopy design:
             The canopy design presents very much like a service station type canopy, rather
             than a style expected in at Noosa Village. Any additional canopies on site should
             resemble what currently exists on site. Other pick up areas for Woolworths operate
             without them, and it seems unnecessary as the use of the spot is for short periods
             of time. The canopy may impede sightlines or hamper pedestrian traffic and results
             in a clutter of structures on site. If it is demonstrated there is a genuine need for a
             canopy, please present a case in any application.

        6. Proposed directional and canopy signage:
             The location of the totem freestanding direct to boot signs is not clear. Four (4) signs
             of that size are considered excessive, given the extent of existing signage on site,
             which is 204m2 of existing sign face. Additional structures for signage is not
             supported. However, pavement treatment for the parking spaces is supported.
             Signage on any canopy is also considered excessive.
             If there is a need for a sign identifying the location of the pick up area, it is to consist
             of a small sign face only and preferably not result in a new structure.
6.      INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGES

A request for written advice for an Infrastructure Charges Contribution Estimate relevant to
your proposal may be obtained for a fee.
7.      FURTHER ADVICE TO BE SOUGHT

You are advised to contact Unitywater and any relevant Queensland Government Agencies
for their specific requirements in respect of your proposal.
Yours faithfully,
