             Our original request that the intent for the Medium Impact Industry Zone be amended to acknowledge the
             existing use of this site and allow its upgrade / expansion within the site over time remains. Specific
             reference to the sites RPD when acknowledging the continuation and/or minor upgrade or expansion of the
             store over time is supported/recommended.
             Our original request that the GFA limit for Showroom use be removed for code assessment within the
             Medium Impact Industry Zone remains. To assist Council in ensuring large scale showroom uses do not
             occur across the medium impact industry zone it is recommended that the GFA limit for a Showroom use
             be removed under the provision it is on a site where fronting Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville.
             Alternatively, Council could simply remove the GFA Limit for Showroom for this site specifically, in
             recognition of the existing use.

             The co-location of ancillary and complimentary uses with our primarily surfboard manufacturing business is
             essential to the success of our businesses. These currently include a surfshop, cafe, barbershop,
             coaching/training gym and offices.
             Additionally we dedicate some warehouse walls in flow spaces to facilitate an art gallery.

             approach to the creation of the new ‘Gateway Drive West Small Traders Precinct / Makers Precinct’ within
             the Low Impact Industry zone. Council should be congratulated on providing for an innovative planning
             approach to enable businesses to ‘start up’ in this appropriately located precinct. However, Council should
             also allow for residential accommodation within each premises, to allow people to live, work and play in the
             new small traders/makers precinct. This is an opportunity for key workers to live and work within this
             precinct and provide more reasonable accommodation options in the area.
             Submitter seeks to document an example of a successful mixed use industrial development in a peri-urban
             coastal town - Habitat Byron Bay https://www.habitatbyronbay.com/;. The Byron Bay Industrial area allows
             for live and work arrangements, which provide ancillary residential units within each ‘premises’. Habitat
             Byron is an example of a successful developments catering for the changes to the nature of businesses
             and accommodation needs in a peri urban coastal town industrial area.
             The Purpose and Overall Outcome statements should be revised to allow for residential ‘key worker
             accommodation’ that are subordinate to the industry activities within each premises. Other recommended
             changes include updating the Tables of Assessment to allow for future uses to provide for a successful
             mixed-use industrial precinct, including Market, Indoor Sport & Recreation, and Medium Impact Industry as
             impact assessable uses (see Appendix 1). Consistency in the zone naming, mapping and the codes should
             also be updated to reflect the new precinct.
             The subject site is the last green field developable industrial site within the Gateway Dr, Noosaville precinct
             and any changes should reflect the changing needs of business, adjoining land use patterns and potential
             future use of the site. By allowing for additional ancillary caretaker accommodation within each of the
             industrial premises in this uniquely located site, would maintain the amenity of surrounding Low Density
             Residential Zones and not create reverse sensitivity concerns to the Medium Impact Industry (Enterprise)
             zone.
