MCU14/0067 Town Planning Report

KHA Development Managers – 14182                                                               August 2014




6.4.2      SPECIFIC OUTCOME CONFLICTS

•   Noosaville Locality Code - Specific Outcome O16 - Plot Ratio

Under specific outcome O16, the site being located within Precinct E4 of the Shire Business Centre Zone
has a maximum plot ratio of 0.6. The proposed development has a plot ratio of 0.93.

Despite this the development complies with building height, landscaping and other development
parameters. The same building footprint and development outcome could be achieved even if the upper
level gross floor area within the building was reduced.

We refer to the Planning Review for the Shire Business Centre endorsed by Council at its Ordinary Meeting
of 14 May 2009. The review included the recommendation that maximum plot ratio be removed for
Industrial uses within Precinct E4. We understand this recommendation is being addressed in the current
Noosa Plan review.

In this regard the proposed plot ratio is consistent with Council planning intent for the Shire Business
Centre and is considered an acceptable outcome for the site. Council’s endorsement of the planning review
recommending removal of the plot ratio restriction provides sufficient planning grounds to overcome the
conflict.
