4. Planning Report

 PROJECT URBAN


2.0 INTRODUCTION

This Development Assessment Report has been prepared to support a Superseded Planning
Scheme Development Application for a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use for a
Food and Drink Outlet and Service Industry on behalf of Ralph Lauren 55 Ptd Ltd.

The subject site is located at 168 Eumundi-Noosa Road, Noosaville QLD 4566 and is legally
described as Lot 2 on RP222164. The proposed development is intended to be assessed under
the Superseded Planning Scheme (Noosa Plan 2020 – Amendment 1), consistent with the
accompanying request made to Council.

Under Amendment 1 of the Noosa Plan 2020, a Food and Drink Outlet with a gross floor area of
up to 60m² and directly associated with an industry use is subject to code assessment within the
Medium Impact Industry Zone. Amendment 2 of the planning scheme removes this clear 60m²
threshold and instead requires impact assessment. Amendment 2 also modifies the Medium
Impact Industry Zone Code, including changes to Performance Outcome 1 and Acceptable
Outcome 1.2, which reduce the allowable ancillary retail component of a Service Industry use to
30m². These changes introduce uncertainty and impose constraints that were not present under
the superseded planning scheme.

The proposed development includes a Food and Drink Outlet in part of Building 1 associated with
a Medium Impact Industry use (Coffee Roastery) and a Service Industry land use in Building 4.
The proposal also incorporates associated site upgrades including landscape terracing, external
seating areas, and minor facade and access improvements, as shown in the architectural plans.
These secondary works enhance the site’s functionality, presentation and pedestrian interface,
while remaining consistent with the industrial character of the locality.

The purpose of this report is to describe the characteristics of the site and surrounding land uses,
outline the nature of the proposed development, and provide an assessment against the applicable
planning provisions of the superseded Noosa Plan 2020 – Amendment 1.

This report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying cover letter, forms, code
assessment and architectural plans.
