PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                            15 SEPTEMBER 2015


1.     The proposed development does not meet the Overall and Specific Outcomes of the
       Driveways and Car Parking code as sufficient car parking is not provided on site to
       accommodate the number of vehicles likely to be generated by the development.
10.    The proposed development does not meet the Overall and Specific Outcomes of the Noosa
       Heads Locality Code as the proposals exceeds the 45% site cover requirement for Visitor
       Mixed Use Zone, having a 65% site cover.
On the 4 June 2015, Council resolved at its Ordinary Meeting to defer consideration of the
application in accordance with the applicant’s request to further discuss with Council the proposed
removal of certain structures to reduce the site cover and car parking requirements.
2.     REVISED PLANS
Following an onsite meeting, the applicant submitted revised plans detailing a significant reduction
in gross floor area and site cover. The amended plans are included as Figure 1 and include:
     Reduction of the total gross floor area by 56.5m2 from 185m2 to 128.5m2;
     Reduction of the total building site cover from 65% to 45%;
     Removal of translucent roofing along the northern side boundary;
     Removal of the front stud wall;
     New fire wall along the northern boundary;
     Removal of part of the colourbond storage and display area at site’s rear; and
     New roof over the rear of the premises;




      Figure 1 Amended Plans (dotted outline indicates portions of the building to be removed)

The reduction in the gross floor area results in the development complying with the 45% site cover
requirement for the Visitor Mixed Use zone. However, the proposal still does not provide for the
required 3 additional on-site carparking spaces associated with the 56.5m2 increase in the shop’s
use area (calculated at a rate of 1 space per 20m2). Instead, the applicant proposes to enter into
an infrastructure agreement for payment in lieu of 3 off-street parking spaces totalling $68,187
based on the repealed PSP13 – Contributions in lieu of Provision of Off-street Parking.
