1.3 Prelodgement Meeting

 

4. ADVICE & INFORMATION
Planning | Officer Name — Denis Wallace
The proposed chocolate factory component is a consistent use in the Industry zone.

 

 

The restaurant/café use is identified as a consistent use within Noosaville’s Industry zone.
An application will be subject to impact assessment and should demonstrate grounds to
overcome conflicts with the zone provisions, in accordance with S326 of the Sustainable
Planning Act.

Staff are likely to support the café use where it is demonstrated to be integral but ancillary
to a bone fide industrial use on the site. The proposed small retail/café components of the
development appear to meet those criteria and are likely to be supported.

Key elements to be addressed with an application include:

- Provision of sufficient car parking to meet scheme rates and likely demand (based
on staffing numbers and public floor space);

- Demonstrating the business would not create “reverse amenity” impacts on
industrial business in the area based on their potential to create noise and other
emissions that might impinge on the café use.

- Clearly articulated planning grounds to overcome the café use conflict with The
Noosa Plan

Advice was provided regarding calculation of carparking rates based on net use area. Further
detailed designs will allow the final calculation to be made.

Some concerns are raised with manoeuvring and driveway conflicts for vehicles — see
engineering advice below.

Application timeframe is estimated at approximately 3 - 4 months, allowing for public
notification and a report to a Council meeting. Due to the planning scheme conflict, a
decision could not be made by staff delegation but would need to

Please feel free to contact mé on ph. 53296239 to discuss the proposal further.

The proposed layout is generally acceptable except for some minor issues in regard to
Parking:

- Carspaces 1 & 2 have the potential to conflict with vehicles entering and exiting the
site. If it is possible these spaces should be deleted or as a minimum allocated to staff
to limit the vehicle movements.

- Carspaces 18 & 19 are constrained due to their position and the adjacent loading bay.
These spaces must be allocated for staff only.

- The loading bay must be 12m x 3.6m in accordance with Council's Driveways and
Carparking Code

Please note all carparking must be in accordance with AS/NZS2890. 1:2004

An application should also include a Stormwater Management Plan for the development that
addresses water quality and quantity.
