PROJECT URBAN – 19230                                                                  November 2019




7.0 CONCLUSION

This Development Assessment Report has been prepared on behalf of BNB Super Pty Ltd to
support a Development Application for a Development Permit for Material Change of Use for
Entertainment and Dining Business - Type 3 Bar associated with approved Industrial Business –
Type 2 production, alteration, repackaging and repairing.

The Noosa Plan includes the site within the Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality and in the
Industry Zone. The site is further regulated by a Plan of Development.

The proposed use (Entertainment and Dining Business - Type 3 Bar) requires impact assessment
and is identified as inconsistent uses in the Supplementary Table of Development Assessment.
Sufficient grounds to gain approval to justify the development’s conflicts with the plan of
development are set out below:

    •   The proposed tasting area is 33m2 and occupies approximately 20% of the overall floor
        space of the tenancies. The tasting room is ancillary to the primary, approved industrial
        use of the tenancy. It is a reasonable expectation that a distillery would have a small
        tasting area to present, sell and taste product. Whilst Council has confirmed that it
        considers the tasting area to comprise its own specific use, it should be noted that the
        operation, use and function of the tasting room is wholly related to the primary use, being
        the distillery. The sale and tasting of product is considered to be complimentary to and
        typical of a modern distillery;

    •   The planning scheme definition of an “industrial business” permits the sale of goods
        resulting from the industrial activity, with up to 20% of the floor area being able to be
        used for this purpose. The proportion of space being used for tasting is consistent with
        this percentage;

    •   The site is well separated from residential uses, with the nearest house being located
        approximately 380m to the east;

    •   There is sufficient car parking in the estate. Four parking spaces are proposed to be
        allocated to tenancy 1 and there will be a substantial pool of unallocated parking spaces
        across the industrial estate;

    •   The tasting area is only likely to operate on Fridays and on weekends. The peak periods
        associated with other land uses in the estate are unlikely to coincide with these
        timeframes;

    •   The site is within the Lake Macdonald water supply catchment but is located within a
        building that is already committed for urban development purposes;

    •   The site is already serviced by all typical urban infrastructure including sewer and
        reticulated water;

    •   The proposal satisfies all higher order provisions of the planning scheme.

Approval of the proposed development is warranted.
