 PROJECT URBAN


4.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

This application seeks a Development Permit under the superseded planning scheme for a Material
Change of Use to establish a Food and Drink Outlet and Service Industry, in accordance with the
Architectural Plans prepared by Twohill & James Architects. The development largely retains the
established built form on the site, with only modest architectural and landscape improvements
proposed. The existing access and parking layout are maintained without reduction or
reconfiguration.

Building 1 will accommodate a coffee roastery and associated production activities. This use is
defined as Medium impact industry and is accepted development. A 60m² component of Building
1 will operate as an ancillary food and drink outlet supporting the primary roastery function. The
plans include a minor expansion of the external deck adjoining Building 1, providing an improved
interface for the café component and a convenient walkway for staff accessing the coffee bean
storage area. This change does not alter the building footprint in any substantive way and is
considered a low-impact upgrade to the existing structure.

In addition to these functional upgrades, Building 1 is proposed to undergo minor façade
enhancements, including the installation of new FRP (fibre-reinforced polymer) screening, updated
balustrade treatments, and repainting of the external façade. These improvements are cosmetic in
nature but will significantly improve the presentation of this building as viewed from the road.

Building 4 is proposed to be utilised for a bicycle servicing workshop, with ancillary bicycle-related
retail sales. In conjunction with this, a modest external terrace and landscape treatment is proposed
at the lower level of Building 4. These works are minor in scale and serve primarily to improve site
presentation, usability and pedestrian legibility rather than alter the function or intensity of the
development.

All existing vehicular access points from Eumundi Noosa Road are retained. The proposal
maintains the existing parking supply, which continues to operate effectively for the site’s intended
uses.

The development also incorporates a central landscaped terrace positioned below Building 2. This
space will provide amenity benefits for tenants, staff and visitors. Existing landscaping is preserved
and supplemented where appropriate to reinforce the enhanced site character.
