ISSUE 1: LAND USE
While the application seeks a range of Undefined Uses to provide maximum flexibility for the
development, Council disagrees that the proposed uses do not fit within The Noosa Plan use
definitions. It is considered The Noosa Plans definitions allow for the suggested undefined
uses.

The following Noosa Plan uses are considered to fit that proposed:
•     Commercial business type’s 1 (office) and 2 (medical);
•     Entertainment & dining business type 1 – food and beverages;
•     Entertainment & dining business type 2 – to provide indoor sport and recreation opportunities;
•     Entertainment and dining business type 3 – Bar;
•     Industrial business type 2;
•     Retail business type 2 – shop & salon; and
•     Retail business type 4 – showroom.

The following uses raise concerns:
•     Entertainment and dining business type 1 – food and beverages when not associated and
      subordinate to an industrial activity in the same tenancy;
•     Retail business type 4 – showroom; and
•     Retail business type 2 – shop / salon which includes large format retail shops

Please note:

•     In terms of Industrial business, The Noosa Plan allows a maximum of 20% of the tenancies floor
      space to be used for retail purposes providing it is associated with and subordinate to the
      industrial activity on-site. In this instance, Council may consider a greater industrial / retail ratio
      providing industry remains the primary use of the tenancies.

•     Entertainment and dining business type 3 - Bar would be considered if associated with an
      industrial activity onsite in the same tenancy as a standalone bar significantly departs from the
      consistent uses and intent for the site.


Draft Planning Scheme
The proposed development significantly departs from the purpose and overall outcomes of the small
business precinct under the draft scheme which allows for small format buildings with a maximum
GFA of 150m². This area provides flexibility for small start-up business as well as more niche
businesses such as warehousing or manufacturing to have a retail/ shopfront component. Uses would
allow some retail and food and drink provided it was directly related to the manufacturing or business
activity on the site and has a combined floor area no greater than 150m². No additional retail, food and
drink or showroom land use is consistent in its own right in this precinct.
Information required
      1. Please provide amended application and plans indicating uses under The Noosa Plan for
         each tenancy. It is preferred that each tenancy has its own use or if not, clear interchangeable
         uses respectful to the built form, layout and car parking.
