                    Assessment Type                 Other Change to Approval Impact

               EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
               This report provides an assessment of an application for an Other Change to the existing
               Development Approval for the Bounce Hostel in Mary Street, Noosaville.
               The applicant requests that the Development Approval be changed to include a Food and Drink
               Outlet that was previously approved and lapsed 18 January 2025 in accordance with
               MCU18/0102.02
               Condition 65.
               65.     The Food and Drink Outlet approval lapses on 18 January 2025, unless written consent is
                       provided by Council’s delegate to extend the approval. In assessing a request to extend the
                       approval, Council will have regard to any substantiated complaints relating to noise, car
                       parking and any other relevant matters associated with the Food and Drink Outlet use.
               The applicant now proposes Condition 65 of the Decision Notice be changed to facilitate the
               Food and Drink Outlet to operate for the lifetime of the development.
               The assessment concludes the amendment to existing Condition 65, as the Condition provides
               clarity in the Decision Notice, has operated historically with temporary approval with absence of
               complaints, and achieves the requirements of the Noosa Plan.
               The site is unique within the Mary Street and Wellbeing Precinct, being identified in the Noosa
               Plan for short-term accommodation with ancillary recreation facilities. Existing development
               includes internal recreational areas screened by buildings, with conditions limiting operating
               hours and requiring on-site management.
               Although the proposal does not meet car parking requirements, previous evidence shows the use
               can operate without adverse impacts. Given the existing built form and conditions, the proposed
               food and drink outlet is considered reasonable and is therefore recommended that the application
               be approved in part.
