                                                                                            Noosa Blue Resort, Noosa Heads

                                    MCU to establish Industrial Business (Type 2 Production, alteration, repackaging and repairing)



8.2.3     Noosa Heads Locality Plan – Specific Outcomes for the Attached Housing Zone
Comment: An assessment has been undertaken against the specific outcomes of the Attached Housing Zone. The proposal
does comply with the Probable Solutions for the Attached Housing Zone (as set out in Table 9.14 of the planning scheme)
and is found to be consistent against all Specific Outcomes except Specific Outcome O40.

Entertainment and Dining Business Type 1 & Entertaining Business Type 2 uses are identified as an inconsistent use in
Specific Outcome O40. As discussed in previous sections there are sufficient grounds to justify the approval of these uses
on this site.


8.3       Applicable Development and Overlay Codes
This section of the report summarises any issues encountered during an assessment of the proposed development against
each of the following codes which are relevant to the proposed uses within the existing building:

       Business Use Code;
       Driveways and Carparking Code.
Comment: The proposed development has been assessed against the relevant specific outcomes and probable solutions
for the Use Zone Codes listed above.

This code assessment has determined that the proposal generally complies with all probable solutions and specific
outcomes. Where probable solutions are not met, an alternative solution demonstrating compliance with the specific
outcome is provided below, this includes sufficient planning grounds to justify the conflicts with the probable solutions.


8.3.1     Business Use Code
Comment: The proposal generally complies with the applicable provisions of this code. The following points from the
assessment are considered important to note:
     The proposed uses are compatible with the existing character and amenity of the streetscape and surrounding
       area.
     The restaurant presently exists and operates to in-house guests with no increase proposed to indoor or outdoor
       space.
     The Yoga Studio / indoor recreation will use the existing function centre space.
     The previous approval relating to the function centre acknowledged that external guests would attend the site and
       car parking provisions were provided for.
     The opportunity for external guest to arrive will not see an increase on the capacity of use areas of either operation.
     The only change to occur is the point of origin of the guests. Rather than all customers and participants being in-
       house, some of the customers may now arrive along the established footpath network, by public transport which
       is located directly outside the café or they may park on site with the adequate car parking available.
     The uses proposed will not provide detrimental impacts on amenity due to the nature of their use. The yoga centre
       will operate in a manner of very limited noise due to the nature of how yoga is undertaken. The café presently
       exists and operates to in-house guests without any impacts due to café and onsite management operational
       procedures.
     The precinct in which Noosa Blue Resort operates is between the Visitor Mixed Use Zone of Hastings St and the
       Business Centre Zone of Noosa Junction. Noosa Parade is the conduit between the Reef Hotel, Nomads Backpackers
       and the Koala Bar, and previously Noosa International restaurant. The Noosa Parade presentation of the Attached
       Housing Zone is different of that of the other surrounding areas insofar that the proposed uses, whilst in conflict
       with the specific outcome of the business use code, are such that there is sufficient planning merit to overcome
       the conflict.
