5.      ADVICE & INFORMATION

Patrick Murphy, Coordinator Planning - Comments
1.      The site is zoned Medium Impact Industry.
2.      It is noted that the pre-lodgement application form details the proposal as a Food and
        Drink Outlet. During the meeting it was advised that proposed operational hours would
        be:

             Friday 5pm-8pm
             Saturday and Sunday noon-8pm


        A Food and Drink Outlet is defined as:


        a.      preparing and selling food and drink for consumption on or off the premises; or
        b.      providing liquor for consumption on the premises, if the use is ancillary to the use
                in paragraph (a).
      By virtue of the production of liquor being the industrial use on the site the provision of
      liquor for consumption on the premises is not considered to be ancillary. Review of similar
      enterprises has demonstrated that the tasting and consumption of liquor will be the
      dominant use of the tastings and sales area as detailed on the proposed floor plan.
      It is also noted that AO4 of the Medium Impact Industry Zone seeks that for a food and
      drink outlet, excluding where a complementary use, the majority of the food or drink
      prepared and sold incorporates the product or output of the industry activity on the site.
      Compliance with this outcome would mean that the proposed use could not comply with
      the Food and Drink Outlet definition.
3.      The applicable use definition is ‘Bar’
      Bar means the use of premises, with seating for 60 or less people, for—

        a.      selling liquor for consumption on the premises; or
        b.      an entertainment activity, or preparing and selling food and drink for consumption
                on the premises, if the use is ancillary to the use in paragraph (a).


4.      The classification of the use as a ‘Bar’ is consistent with Council’s approach to the most
        recent applications which have included the provision of alcohol associated with a
        brewery or distillery.
5.      The application will need to demonstrate that the primary use is industrial (and the bar
        is ancillary to this use) and that this use is appropriately located in an industrial area.
5.      A Bar is an inconsistent use within the Medium Impact Industry Zone and subject to
        Impact Assessment. An application would be assessed by a planning officer with the
        final decision being made by Council. It is suggested therefore that consideration be
        given to alternatives sites in Noosa such as Venture Drive Enterprise Precinct.
        Codes informing assessment of the application would include, but not be limited to:
             Noosaville Local Plan Code;
             Medium Impact Industry Zone Code;

This document is a record of prelodgement discussions and will not be made available for public viewing. Prelodgement
discussions are conducted to explore development options and requirements, identify issues and provide guidance to prospective
applicants about Council’s policies for development. The recorded discussion items and outcomes in no way imply or commit to
an approval of the proposal on the part of Council or Council officers, nor guarantee that all potential issues associated with a
development proposal have been raised / identified. When a formal development application is lodged, the proposal will be
assessed on its planning merits in accordance with Council’s policy framework existing at the time of the assessment.

6.      During the meeting it was advised that the proponent was also considering bringing food
        trucks on to the site to provide food. Food trucks would be defined a Food and Drink
        Outlet however would not comply with AO4 of the Medium Impact Industry Zone Code
        as discussed above.
7.      Car parking is required to be provided in accordance with Table 9.4.2.4 of the Driveways
        and Parking Code. It is unclear as to why the area around the ‘Retail’ area on the
        Proposed Floor Area Plan has been identified as Industry as it appears to be more
        associated with the bar use
        The following car parking rates are applicable:
        Bar:            1 space per 20m2


        Industry:       1 space per 50m2 up to 500m2
                        1 space per 100m2 in excess of 500m2


        Office:         1 space 20m2


8.      Any future development application on the site would need to comply with the relevant
        landscaping requirements within the Noosa Plan 2020.
9.      It is unclear how the proposal would comply with building requirements regarding access
        to the toilets.


Diogo Carrico, Development Engineer - Comments
Loading Bay
Any future application must include:
             plans showing the location of a 12m x 3.6m loading bay on the site including, but
             not limited to, the swept paths of a single unit truck entering and exiting the site;
             and

             details of the activities of the tenancy on lot 4 BUP 5337 and how
             loading/unloading will not have an impact on the aforementioned lot’s use and the
             overall site.

Car parking and Vehicular Access to the Building
Any future application must demonstrate (provide swept paths) that:
             the “Loading Dock & Forklift Parking” area is accessible through the existing roll
             door; and

             the 2 first proposed carparks (most eastern), can enter/leave the site using a
             maximum two point turn.
