REPORT
1.    PROPOSAL
The application seeks approval for a Material Change of Use to establish a Food and Drink Outlet
and Shop at 1/10 Thomas Street, Noosaville. The subject tenancy has a gross floor area of 43m 2
and an external 24m2 dining area (within common property for exclusive use of Lot 1).
Tenancy 1 has been operating as a Food and Drink Outlet for some time, however the existing use
rights of the tenancy are limited to a ‘Shop’. The purpose of the application is to preserve use rights
as a ‘Shop’, but also enable restaurants and cafes to operate from the site. For this reason both a
‘Shop’ and ‘Food and Drink Outlet’ use is stipulated in the application. No building works are
proposed, however, the applicant does offer landscaped embellishments to the front of the site.
As part of the original approval, car parking was provided at a rate of 1 space per 30m2. A ‘Food and
Drink Outlet’ requires parking at a rate of 1 space per 20m2, therefore triggering an additional 1 onsite
car parking space. No additional parking can be provided onsite and therefore the applicant proposes
to pay for a contribution in lieu. The application is before Council due to the requirement for an
Infrastructure Agreement to be entered into which would facilitate the contributions payable for the
1 space shortfall.
