PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   7 SEPTEMBER 2021


It is noted that the minimum number of carparks is an Acceptable Outcome under Noosa Plan 2020,
therefore alternative solutions that achieve the outcomes of the planning scheme may be considered
by Council. It is acknowledged that due to existing development onsite, the subject site cannot
provide onsite car parking. In addition, it is considered the proposed use is consistent with the
intended uses sought for the village, seeks to utilise an existing tenancy and a contribution in lieu of
on-site car parking will support improved public transport, pedestrian or cycle facilities in the area.
As such, the applicant has advised that they are agreeable to enter into an Infrastructure Agreement
to make contributions in lieu of car parking. The Infrastructure Agreement provides for three car
parking space, at a rate of $12,620.00 per space (subject to indexation) and is in accordance with
the Contributions in Lieu of the Provision of Onsite Car Parking Council policy. This agreement has
been prepared and executed by the applicant.

4.     CONSULTATION
4.1    Referral Agencies
Not applicable
4.2    Internal Council Referrals

5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The proposed development seeks approval for a Material Change of Use to establish an office
situated at Martin Place at Peregian 4/216 David Low Way Peregian Beach. No external building
works are proposed, and the application only seeks approval for the change of use.
An Office is code assessable development within the Local Centre Zone and therefore the proposed
use is consistent with The Noosa Plan 2020.
The proposed use triggers three additional car spaces pursuant to the parking ratio under The Noosa
Plan 2020. The applicant has entered into an Infrastructure Agreement to pay a contribution in lieu
for the three space shortfall and therefore the application is recommended for approval.
