Town Planning Assessment Report - Rooming Accommodation.pdf

In these circumstances, the proposed conversion of the former child care centre building to rooming
accommodation will not result in an unacceptable loss of community infrastructure or compromise the
community’s access to child care services.

7.       Use of Existing Access, Parking and Infrastructure

The proposal will utilise the existing access crossover to Eumundi Noosa Road and retain six (6) existing car
parking spaces within the western portion of the site. The development will also be serviced by existing
urban infrastructure, including reticulated water, sewerage, stormwater drainage, electricity and
telecommunications.

The proposal does not require new road infrastructure or substantial external works and will not place
unreasonable demand on existing infrastructure networks.

8.       Low-Impact Built Form Outcome

The proposal will retain the existing building form and requires minimal external building work, limited to the
removal of the existing shade structure, replacement with a landscaped courtyard, and construction of two
new walls. The built form outcome will therefore remain generally consistent with the existing scale,
presentation and physical form of development on the site.

The proposal will not result in any significant additional building bulk, height, site cover or visual impact when
viewed from Eumundi Noosa Road, Headland Drive or adjoining residential premises.

9.       Positive Residential Outcome

The proposal will provide a five (5) bedroom rooming accommodation use that is capable of being used for
long-term residential accommodation. The use will support residential occupation of the site and contribute
to affordable rental housing stock within an established urban area.

The development is therefore an appropriate response to the site’s current vacancy, surrounding residential
context and likely future planning direction.
