5.1         Use Definition


            In accordance with Part 2 – Interpretation and Dictionary of the Noosa Plan,
            the proposed uses are defined as follows:


            Business Use, Industrial Business, Type 1 - Warehouse – The use of
            premises for the storage of goods, merchandise or materials in large stocks
            (whether or not such storage is required for an adjoining shop or other
            commercial premises), pending their distribution or wholesale. The use
            includes a warehouse or self-storage facility.


            Business Use, Retail Business, Type 4 – Showroom - Premises exceeding
            250m2 gross floor area for the display and sale of goods that are primarily of
            a bulky nature and of a similar type, including but not limited to boats,
            electrical goods, bulk stationery supplies, caravans, furniture, floor coverings,
            sporting equipment and apparel, motor vehicles, motor accessories and the
            like. The term includes any associated sale of spare parts for such goods. The
            term does not include a large shop.




5.2         Level of Assessment


            As identified in Division 8 – Assessment Table for the Business Centre Zone,
            Table 11.6 Assessment Categories and Relevant Assessment Criteria for the
            Business Centre Zone – Making a Material Change of Use of the Noosa Plan,
            an Industrial Business, Type 1 requires ‘Impact Assessment’. It follows, even
            though a Retail Business, Type 4, requires ‘Code Assessment’ in the Business
            Centre Zone, the proposed development is one (1) integrated operation and
            therefore the entire application must be assessed in accordance with the
            requirements for Impact Assessment.
