3 MCU19/0054 DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR A
MIXED USE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT SITUATED AT 2-18 & 20 HOFMANN DRIVE,
NOOSAVILLE
Committee Recommendation
Moved: Cr Jackson
Seconded: Cr Wellington
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the General Committee Meeting
dated 13 January 2020 regarding Application No. MCU19/0054 for a Development Permit for
Material Change of Use for undefined uses – Showroom, Office, Health Care Service, Indoor
Sport and Recreation, Low Impact Industry and Food and Drink Outlet, situated at 2-18 and
20 Hofmann Drive Noosaville and
A. Refuse the application for the following reasons:
1. The proposed development being predominantly retail, does not comply with the
SEQ Regional Plan’s Elements, Strategies and Outcomes relating to Goal 2 –
Prosper as it:
1.1. fosters retail employment rather than employment in the export oriented
and high-value sectors;
Page 5 of 12
Section 6
RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY – NOT THE FINAL DECISION OF COUNCIL
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 13 JANUARY 2020
1.2. is using land set aside for non-retail employment which inhibits the ability
of Noosa Shire to meet employment planning baselines;
2. The proposal does not support the Economic Vision for the Shire to create a
strong viable niche economy as the proposal introduces a small second shopping
centre into the Noosa Business Centre limiting available land for growth in
identified priority focus areas of wellness industries, knowledge-based
businesses, education and service industries, heritage and creative arts
industries.
3. The proposal, being predominantly retail, is contrary to the Desired
Environmental Outcomes of the Noosa Plan as:
3.1. The extent of large format retail is not envisaged for the centre with a
proportion of Noosa’s Shire’s higher order needs intended to be fulfilled by
the Principal Regional activity Centre of Maroochydore; and
3.2. It will impact on the long term viability of the Noosa Business Centre, as
the principal business, retail and administrative centre.
4. The proposed uses are clearly defined by The Noosa Plan and the applicant’s
proposed use definitions are unnecessary, inappropriate and have the potential
to cause confusion.
5. The proposed development is contrary to the Noosaville Locality Code as the
proposed extent of retail is not planned and significantly exceeds the retail caps
set by the Noosa Plan; and
5.1. will not support the growth of the Noosa Business Centre as being a multi-
function employment node which provides for a wide range of business
uses;
5.2. will not retain the development capacity within the centre in the longer term
to take advantage of potential new employment opportunities.
6. The proposed built form, design and layout does not comply with the Noosaville
Locality Code as:
6.1. the proposal has the characteristics of a standard retail commercial design
without the architectural features unique to Noosa;
6.2. overall the built form is more suited to retail uses than to the other uses
proposed such as low impact industry;
6.3. the applicant has not demonstrated that some buildings would be
sufficiently screened from Council’s major road network;
6.4. building 4 exceeds the maximum building height for the area and has a
reduced building setback from Hofmann Drive; and
6.5. pedestrian connectivity and access is poor.
7. The proposal does not meet the Landscaping Code as the car parking area is
deficient in landscaping with unsatisfactory provision for shade trees.
8. The proposal is significantly deficient in car parking and does not comply with the
Noosa Plan’s Driveways and Car parking Code.
Page 6 of 12
Section 7
RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY – NOT THE FINAL DECISION OF COUNCIL
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING 13 JANUARY 2020
9. The applicant has not satisfactorily demonstrated that the development will not
adversely impact on the external traffic network contrary to the Noosaville
Locality Code and the Transport, Roads and Drainage Code.
10. The applicant has not demonstrated that stormwater management can be
successfully and appropriately integrated into the current development layout
consistent with the Water Sensitive Design Code and the Transport, Roads and
Drainage Code.
11. The proposal includes clearing of significant vegetation as part of the proposed
measures for stormwater management contrary to the purpose of current
environmental covenants registered over the site and the Noosaville Locality
Code requirements for Precinct OS3.
12. The proposal does not comply with the draft Noosa Plan as:
12.1. the quantum of retail proposed is not envisaged on the site and does not
advance or assist in preparing for a transitioning or changing economy;
12.2. the proposal is not contributing to the identified key priority sectors;
12.3. carparking is grossly deficient and the applicant has not demonstrated
there will not be adverse effects on the surrounding traffic network;
12.4. the development does not reflect a good subtropical design and is not
distinctively recognisable as being Noosa Style; and
12.5. the stormwater management of the site does not comply with the Water
Quality and Drainage Code.
13. There is no significant need for the proposed retail and the proposal does little to
advance the priority sectors envisaged by Noosa’s Local Economic Plan.
B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
Carried unanimously.
