PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                             6 MARCH 2018


Planning Regulation 2017
The following assessment benchmark from the Planning Regulation 2017 applies to the
application:
    SEQ Development Area
The proposal is for an urban activity within the Urban Footprint and is consistent with the
assessment benchmarks contained in the Planning Regulation 2017 for the SEQ Development
Area.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The subject site is located in the Industry Zone of the Noosaville Locality. The proposed use is
identified as an inconsistent use within the zone and was required to follow an impact assessable
application process.
Overall Outcome vv) ii of the Noosaville Locality Code seeks to protect the Noosaville industrial
estate for industrial function to the exclusion of incompatible uses, including residential,
community and commercial uses, and most sport and recreation uses. The proposed use
requires a significant floor space and is not generally suitable for business centres and therefore
is considered a suitable use in the industrial area.
Land Use and Works Provisions
The application has been assessed against the applicable codes. The pertinent issues arising out
of the assessment against the codes are discussed below:
Carparking
The proposed Entertainment and Dining Business Type 2 Recreation, Amusement & Fitness
(Indoor Swim School) proposes a total of 5 spaces for the use (4 car spaces + 1 additional space
to be provided in front of the tenancy roller door). The proposed space in front of the roller door is
acceptable, given the roller door will not be used during operating hours (refer to figure 5).




                 Figure 5 – Tenancy roller door access to be converted to a carpark space

The Driveways and Carparking Code of The Noosa Plan requires carparking for the use at the
following rate:
1 space per 20m2, or part thereof, of use area;
OR
1 space per 3 persons capable of being entertained at any one time, whichever is the greater.
Based on the tenancy floor area of 190m2, 10 spaces would be required. This rate is considered
excessive considering the proposed number of staff and students related to this use.

                                                                                             Page 21 of 54
