1.4 Background Approvals
In 1991, the site was established under a special Development Lease.
On the 28 September 2006, Council issued an approval for a change to the existing approval for a
new deck (80m2) to the commercial facility (Development Approval for Marina & Associated
Commercial Uses). The owner indicates the chairs and works in this area were removed and the
area rectified back to the existing levels in this area.
A copy of the existing Plan of Development is included below for reference.

3 Proposed development details
The application proposes to enclose 50m2 of an outdoor dining deck adjacent to an existing
restaurant tenancy in Building 2A along the northern part of the lease area.
Other small changes include the replacement of the existing awning roof along the northern balcony
and southern portions of the tenancy. A new 59m2 shop tenancy is also proposed adjacent to the
existing amenities and hair salon.

4 Planning assessment
4.1 Key issues
4.1.1 Existing Approval
The existing approval allowed for 134m2 of outdoor dining area associated with the restaurant
tenancy in Building 2A. The proposed changes retain the area as dining areas for patrons of the
restaurant within an indoor setting.
The development also allows for an additional 59m2 retail tenancy adjacent to the existing amenities
and restaurant. This new retail tenancy space is less than 100m2 in size and self-assessable
development in accordance with the original Plan of Development.
All existing services including water, sewerage and waste is provided within the existing facility as
per the existing approval.
4.1.2 The Noosa Plan
The site is within the Tewantin Locality and zoned Open Space Recreation. The Noosa Plan seeks
for Noosa Marina to be retained in the Recreation and Open Space zone as the primary river-based
economic and transport node in the Tewantin local plan area. Development is limited to uses that
relate to marine activities, including river ferry services, complemented by a limited number of shops,
cafés, and restaurants.
PO22 of the Tewantin Locality Code requires the Noosa Marina to provide for the continued
operation of marine moorings and ancillary business uses and food and drink outlets, while providing
the required car parking onsite. The Driveways and Parking Code does not differentiate a separate
carparking rate between outdoor dining and indoor tenancy areas, with the proposal not increasing
in use area for the restaurant tenancy. As a result, no additional carparking impacts are anticipated
or required.
Although the restaurant tenancy building is slightly increasing, the area of the dining area is not being
increased. The building is to be finished with weatherboard cladding and windows to match in with
the existing restaurant tenancy. A new awning roof is also proposed to match in with the colourbond
roof (with solar panels). There is still a break between the building elements on the site and will
match into the existing built form. A picture of the existing built form, as seen from the river is included
below.
Figure 4: Site photo of existing buildings (looking southeast from the Noosa River).
Performance Outcome PO18&19 of the Tewantin Local Plan Code requires commercial
development on or adjacent to the Noosa River ensures no net increase in the gross floor area of
building and structures beyond existing footprints within existing lease areas. The proposal slightly
increases gross floor area by way of a permanent enclosure over the existing deck area, which was
previously covered by a shade sail and approved for outdoor dining.

Notwithstanding the above, the design replaces an existing shade sail and umbrellas previously used
in this area - greatly improving the built form and amenity for users of the facility. Furthermore, the
view from the river is also enhanced with a more sympathetic design in keeping with the existing
buildings and a more contemporary design.
The development is considered to comply with Performance Outcome PO18, which seeks
development to comprise timber and tin construction with a traditional pitched design and the
proposed development incorporates these materials/elements.
Considering the existing large shade sail in the area of proposed works, the proposal does not
increase the building footprint of structures onsite and reduces the overall use area for dining and
impacts on carparking. The proposal is consistent with the Overall and Purpose Outcomes of the
Tewantin Locality Code.

5.1.2 State Planning Policy
The SPP includes assessment benchmarks that may be applicable where a local government
planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The Noosa Plan 2020 appropriately
integrates all SPP provisions, except for Natural Hazards, risk and resilience – coastal hazards – in
part.
Development in the erosion prone area, as shown on the SPP interactive mapping system, will be
subject to assessment against the assessment benchmarks – natural hazards, risk and resilience
within the State Planning Policy. An assessment is provided below.
State interest Assessment against assessment benchmark
Natural Hazards The site is located within the Erosion Prone Area of the SPP, however
(Coastal) not located within a coastal management district. The development is
located above the existing flood areas so as to not cause a risk to people
and property.
6.0 Conclusion
The assessment finds the proposal respects the existing development approval and generally meets
the relevant statutory instruments including The Noosa Plan, subject to the following reasons:
• The built form changes match in with the existing development and provide for a more
useable restaurant tenancy; and
• The design is sympathetic to the coastal environment protects the visual amenity enjoyed by
users and others.
The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is
therefore recommended. Please contact me if you require any further information and/or clarification
with respect to the above application.
