9.          Conclusion
The above development application has been submitted to the Noosa Shire Council as the Assessment Manager of the
application under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.

This application seeks a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use of Premises for Entertainment and Dining
Business – Type 1 Food and Beverage and Entertainment and Dining Business – Type 2 Recreation, amusement and fitness
located at 16 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads which is an impact assessable development within the Attached Housing Zone
under the Noosa Plan 2006.

The planning report, attachments and appendices demonstrate the compliance with the applicable State and Local planning
provisions.

This application can be supported as there are sufficient grounds which include:

            The proposed development is generally consistent with the Desired Environmental Outcomes;
            The proposal complies with the Planning Scheme Codes or can be conditioned where necessary;
            Alignment with relevant elements of the Strategic Framework and Community Vision elements that are
             considered relevant.
            The uses would not be considered “incompatible development” as it would be reasonable to expect these uses
             would exist within the existing locality;
            Sufficient and adequate parking is available to meet the Code’s requirements;
            Management controls will inhibit and manage any potential impacts on amenity from noise or light;
            The uses are complementary and are expected within a precinct which is dominated with visitor
             accommodation;
            If the resort application was to be lodged now with the proposed uses it would be reasonable to accept that
             these uses would be approved within a complex such as Noosa Blue;
            The Yoga Studio / Indoor Recreation use is defined with the same Primary Use and Use Class definition as the
             previous use of Conference / Function room, which relies on external customers visiting the site or attending
             events;
            The Pool bar use as a restaurant for external guests is a reasonable expectation for guests of other properties
             within the Attached Housing zone in the proximity of the proposal; and
            The proposed restaurant use will not directly impact on any existing premises as it is considered appropriate
             for filling the casual dining need that presently does not exist within the Noosa Hill precinct.

In our professional opinion, the proposal has considerable town planning merit and should be supported, subject to
reasonable and relevant conditions.
