The proposed development has been designed where able to accord with the relevant provisions of The
Noosa Plan in conjunction with consideration to context of the locality and site particulars. Some aspects of
the development do not fully comply with the probable solutions and alternative solutions are proposed.


The key planning issues in relation to the new uses are those elements of the proposal where a specific
matter warrants further detailed discussion and explanation.



The following section discusses the key issue identified within the Code Compliance Assessment
(Attachment B) and provides written justification as to why the proposal complies with the Specific
Outcomes and is capable of Council support. It is noted that proposed use does not preclude or impinge

upon the attainment of the strategic intent of the Visitor Mixed Use zone or the objectives of the Noosa
Heads Locality.



Key Issues:

          On-Site Car Parking



8.1       ON-SITE CAR PARKING


As the proposed development is subject to Impact Assessment the application is to be processed against the

Specific Outcome of The Noosa Plan, Driveways and Carparking Code provisions and not the Probable
Solutions, which are only relevant for Code Compliance applications.

The proposed Material Change of Use is not a significant traffic generator and as such no further car parking
or car   parking contributions are considered necessary.

The relevant Specific Outcome to the proposed caf /shop use within the existing building ’Netanya’ is as
follows:


Specific Outcome 07
"Sufficient carparking is provided to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to be generated by
the development having regard to the specifics of the use including-


a)the type and intensity of land use;
b) any existing parking available on the site;
c)hours ofoperation;
d)likely numbers of users;
e)the peak parking demand periods of uses on the site; and
f)the availability of alternative carparking".

Justification of how the proposed development meets the above criteria is set out below.


          There is no proposed increase in Gross Floor Area as a result of the change in use from a conference

          room   to   proposed caf /shop use. It is expected that the intensity of use (associated with a
          conference centre as part of the original approval) is no less than the proposed new caf /shop use.

          The proposed use is largely ancillary to the existing visitor accommodation units in ’Netanya’.
