RE:     PERMISSIBLE CHANGE TO DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL____________________________
Permissible Change to 2696DA for a Restaurant and Outdoor Dining Area over Land described as
Lot 5 on SP108800 located at 5/50 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads - Submission of Amended Plans

I refer to the above permissible change application lodged with Council and recent meetings with Council
staff including Ms Kerri Coyle and Mr Patrick Murphy and representatives of Grill’d. As a result of these
meetings the applicant wishes to submit amended plans (refer attachment A) that are considered to
address the matters raised at the meetings.
                         th                    th
At these meetings (16 May 2017 and 7 August 2017) a range of items were discussed and a response
provided below:

Site Cover

The revised plans illustrate the replacement of the existing fixed umbrellas with a tension membrane
shade sail that attaches to the roof and slopes to the boundary of the site. The new sail is low key and
matches the existing roof line compared to that of the existing umbrellas. It is noted that the umbrellas
have been on site for almost 20 years.

Street awning

The Noosa Drive frontage of the site faces west with the tenancy suffering significant heat and glare
impacts in the afternoon. Consistent with other premises in Hastings Street including the adjoining
Laguna Jacks, the applicant wishes to provide an awning over the front landscaped area and part of the
footpath. In this regard a retractable awning is proposed and replaces the existing red umbrella at the
front of the site.

Streetscape Presentation

In response to concerns raised by Council about the openness and streetscape presentation of the
building, revised plans are submitted which now include the use of composite timber planks across the
façade of the existing concrete slab as well as around the roofline to provide a coastal theme to the
building. The white umbrellas are to be replaced with a single tensile shade sail secured to the existing
building.

In response to concerns raised by Council officers about updating the existing building, the project
architect has proposed a timber portal around the existing shopfront. This timber portal defines the
tenancy and presents a cohesive and stylish façade to the street.
