               GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                                          7 JULY 2026


               2.       BACKGROUND
               On 16 September 2021, Council at it’s Ordinary Meeting resolved to agree to a request to assess
               an application for Commercial Business Type 1 Office and Commercial Business Type 2 Medical
               on future lot 22, being the subject site, under the Superseded Planning Scheme (Noosa Plan
               2006).
               The subject site now benefits from an approval granted on 18 August 2022 for a Material Change
               of Use - Commercial Business Type 1 Office & Type 2 Medical which was assessed under the
               2006 Noosa Plan. This permit approved a two-storey building and two-storey basement, with a
               total gross floor area of 2,170m2. The floor area was approved to be used interchangeably between
               Commercial Business Type 1 - Office and Commercial Business Type 2 – Medical.
               Two (2) subsequent minor change applications were lodged over the site.
                    •    Minor change application MCU22/0038.01 was approved 20 April 2023, primarily relating
                         to the “relocation” of 93m² of approved use area from the ground floor to basement ‘level
                         02’ for the purpose of a built radiation treatment facility. The changes involved the reduction
                         of carparking from 104 to 96 spaces which was offset by a reduction in the GFA as the
                         relocated use area was within the basement. The reduction in carparking was supported
                         based on conditions being imposed to ensure the oncology use was linked to the radiation
                         bunker.
                    •    Minor change application MCU22/0038.02 was approved 19 February 2025 which allowed
                         the removal of two parking spaces in ‘Basement 1’ to relocate fire pumps from the southern
                         property boundary of the site parallel to Eenie Creek Road to the southeastern property
                         boundary towards the rear of the development site. The approval additionally included
                         changes to the location of the bicycle spaces and footpath alignment.
               3.       SITE DETAILS
