RE: MCU20/0103 – 13 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads – MCU for Shop and Visitor
Accommodation Unit - Section 52 Notice to Change Application


On the 1 October 2020, Council issued a Confirmation Notice for a development
application for Material Change of Use for a shop and caretaker’s accommodation. Council
issued an information request with 17 items raised.

An additional item was raised on the 28 October seeking the following:

         Issue
         The Noosa Plan requires that Caretakers accommodation is to be used for genuine
         caretaking or property management purposes and it is to be ancillary to the non-
         residential use on the same site. The caretaker’s accommodation is 90m2, while
         the shop use is to be 155m2. Although Noosa Plan allows for 90m2, the caretakers
         accommodation is not considered ancillary to the shop use in this regard (refer
         PO4 of the 9.3.2 of Noosa Plan). Additionally, caretaker’s accommodation is not
         deemed necessary for a shop use, as shops generally do not generate the need
         for one.

         Information required
         Provide an amended plan/proposal that considers the issue of a caretakers
         accommodation on this site.

In response to this additional addendum item, the applicant seeks to change the
application in accordance with Section 52(1) of the Planning Act 2016, removing the
proposed caretaker’s accommodation unit and replacing the use for a short-term
accommodation unit.

In accordance with Section 26 of the Development Assessment Rules the development
assessment process does not stop, as the change is in response to an information request
for the application and Public Notification has not yet commenced.

Please find attached the amended DA Form1.

If you have any further queries in relation to the above, please do not hesitate to contact
myself.
