PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                            12 SEPTEMBER 2017


RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 12 September 2017 and refuse Application No. 51994.1353.01 for a
Development Permit for Restaurant and Outdoor Dining Area, situated at 5/50 Hastings Street
Noosa Heads for the following reasons:
1.   The proposal does not constitute a permissible change as it would result in a substantially
     different development due to the proposed increase in site cover, built form and reduced
     setbacks.
2.   The proposal is not consistent with the Overall Outcomes and Specific Outcomes of the
     Noosa Heads Locality as the reduced setback to Noosa Drive and the increased site cover
     result in a development which is inconsistent with the intended streetscape and the
     surrounding character.
3.   The proposal is not consistent with Driveways and Car Parking Code due to the absence of
     additional car parking and the increase in use area.
