PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                     9 JUNE 2020




                          Figure 5: Extension to be located to rear of building


The existing tenant, Rick’s Bakery, has been operating on the site since 2017, and has been
located and managed to be compatible with other uses on and in proximity to the site. Council
has not received any complaints or feedback in relation to any adverse impacts on existing
industrial uses or food outlets in proximity to the bakery. As the proposed extension is for an
existing use, it will not reduce the existing amount of Industry zoned land available for
development for industrial purposes.
The bakery trades in retail sales only and does not produce wholesale goods. The applicant
proposes the extension for the purposes of providing a more efficient work space for the ‘back of
house’ area of the bakery. As such, the proposal is relatively minor and is unlikely to adversely
affect other food outlets or industrial uses within the nearby industrial area and retail centre.
Noosa Shire currently has only one other approved Entertainment & Dining Business - Type 1 -
Food & Beverages attached to a service station development, being the KFC at 143 Eumundi
Noosa Road, directly opposite the subject site and approved 24 September 2015. The KFC has a
Gross Floor Area of 151m², a drive-thru facility, and operates from 10am to 10pm daily.
Car Parking
The original development application and approval provided the required number of carparks for
the uses on site, which included nine spaces for the Entertainment & Dining Business - Type 1 -
Food & Beverages component of the development. The minor change application does not
trigger the requirement for additional carparking under the planning scheme, as the Driveways
and Carparking Code excludes kitchen and food storage areas in the carparking calculation.
4.   DRAFT PLANNING SCHEME
The subject site is located within the Medium Impact Industry Zone under The New Noosa Plan.
Development within the Medium Impact Industry Zone is proposed to provide for medium impact
industry and other uses and activities that support industry activities and do not compromise the
future use of premises for industry activities. The zone aims to avoid the development of
incompatible uses, or uses which are more appropriately located in other zones in order to
protect land for industry activities
A food and drink outlet in excess of 60m2 in this zone is impact and inconsistent under the draft
scheme. The draft scheme encourages food and drink outlets only where directly ancillary to and
associated with a bondafide industry use on the site, whilst ‘complementary’ food and drink
outlets (i.e. standalone businesses not trading in goods produced onsite) are not supported in the
Medium Industry Zone. In addition, Service Stations are also impact and inconsistent under the
