                                 Figure 5 – Proposed Landscape Plan

2.   SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
Tenancy 1 has an approval to operate a ‘Shop’. The approval for a Shop was attained as part of the
original application for the Noosaville Plaza development on 15 May 1989 (Ref: DNA146). Under the
Planning Scheme at the time, a ‘Shop’ was defined as “…Any premises used or intended for use for
the purpose of displaying or offering goods for sale to member of the public.” The term exclude
restaurants and cafes.
A restaurant has been operating from tenancy 1 for some time. A restaurant is defined as a ‘Food
and Drink Outlet’ under The Noosa Plan 2020 and therefore retrospective approval is sought to allow
both uses to operate interchangeably.
2.2. Site Description
The site was originally developed in 1989 and comprises a 2 storey building, strata titled into 5
tenancies. The building presents single storey to Thomas Street and two storeys to the rear. A
bricked unenclosed courtyard is centrally located on the site. The development does not include
landscaped setbacks and no buffering is offered to Thomas Street.
2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
The site is located on Thomas Street, in proximity to Gympie Terrace and the Noosa River. The area
consists of a mixture of residential and business uses, including short and long term accommodation,
entertainment, dining and retail businesses.
