Cover Letter - 52 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads - Change Application 17.1.19 · 51994.1435.01

Current Approved Plans
The Town Planning Consent Permit (TPC 2754) specifies the current approved plans as a condition to the approval
(Condition 1). Below is an extract of Condition 1:

       Development undertaken in accordance with this approval must generally comply with the approved plans
       of development titled and numbered Cover WD.001 Issue P1, Site Survey WD.002, Proposed Floor Plan
       WD.201 Ussie P1, Roof Plan WD.202 P1, Proposed Elevation WD.501 Issue P1 and Sections WF.601 Issue
       P1 prepared by Kidd & Co and dated February 2008 and as may be amended by these conditions.

The proposal seeks to reconfigure the front of house area to include outdoor dining area and the provision of a
coffee cart. This reconfiguration will in turn reduce the use area of the café floor space as defined within the
Noosa Plan.

The Proposed Use Area Plan (Appendix A) identifies the location of the of the dining area to the front of the
restaurant (Café Le Monde).

The proposed outdoor dining area at the front of the site is in keeping with numerous other café and restaurant
establishments along Hastings Street and Noosa Drive as illustrated in Photographs 1-16 below. The proposed
amended design results in an activated streetscape, creating a lively atmosphere and promoting incidental social
interaction between diners and pedestrians.

The proposal is a quality outcome and maintains the look and feel of Hastings Street’s dining experience. The
current configuration and fit-out of Café Le Monde (subject site) creates an improved streetscape and pedestrian
experience. The current front of house configuration of Café Le Monde adds to Hastings Street’s low key, informal
atmosphere.

A shade structure is incorporated into the design and protects diners from the elements. This structure has been
previously certified, refer to Appendix D.

Photographs 1-10 below illustrate examples of quality streetscape design outcomes which create low key, active
streetscapes and promote incidental social interaction between diners and pedestrians. Without the presence of
bulky barriers between the footpath and diners, the current arrangement of Café Le Monde (Photographs 1-4)
results in a high quality design outcome.
