process. The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory
instruments. The pertinent issues arising out of the assessment are discussed below:
Built Form
No changes to the built form are proposed as part of this application.
Car parking
The original application for ‘shops and professional offices’ required car parking to be provided at a
rate of 1 space per 30m2 of gross floor area, for a total area of 505m2. A contribution was paid for 17
spaces with no parking provided onsite.
Car parking requirements for a Food and drink outlet under The Noosa Plan 2020 are calculated
based on use area, excluding kitchen and food storage areas (refer to Figure 1).
The proposed change includes a total use area of 56.3m2 for the purposes of Food and drink outlet.
Of the 56.3m2 use area, car parking was provided for a total of 43m2 under the original approval,
calculated at a rate of 1 space per 30m2.
