         That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning &
         Environment Committee Meeting dated 8 March 2022 regarding MCU19/0089.02 and
         OPW19/0160.02 to make a minor change to an existing approval for Material Change
         of Use - Retail Business - Type 2 Shop & Salon, Retail Business - Type 5 Vehicle Uses
         and Operational Works – Signage situated at 52-54 Mary St Noosaville and:
         A.   Refuse the change for the following reasons:
              1.     The proposed change does not constitute a minor change to the
                     development approval as the change in hours will increase the severity of
                     known amenity impacts and likely attract further submissions objecting to
                     the change were the application to be publicly notified given the site’s
                     proximity to residential properties.
              2.     The proposed trading hours do not comply with Overall Outcomes 2 (d) &
                     (h) and Performance Outcome PO11 & PO24 of the Business Activities
                     Code as the proposed hours will adversely impact on nearby resident’s
                     amenity.
              3.     The proposed trading hours do not comply with Overall Outcome 2(m) and
                     Performance Outcome PO42 of the District Centre Zone Code as the
                     proposed change in hours will impact the amenity of nearby residential
                     premises as nearby residents would not reasonably expect the service to
                     be operational at this time.
              4.     The proposed illuminated signage does not comply with Specific Outcome
                     AO7 and Overall Outcome O7 of the Advertising Devices Code within the
                     Noosa Plan 2006 as it proposes more than one illuminated sign and is not
                     compatible with the visual amenity of the surrounding area.
              5.     The proposed additional illuminated signage is not consistent with
                     provisions of the Local Law signage requirements as the proposal exceeds
                     the maximum number of signs permitted to be illuminated and is prohibited
                     by the Local Law.
         B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act
              2016.
         C.   Request the CEO to convene a Councillor workshop for Councillors, to allow the
              review and further discussion regarding the signage laws and associated
              policies.
         D    Request the CEO to, if necessary, provide a report to a future Council meeting
              outlining any changes, updates or improvements to the laws and policies, as may
              be proposed at the Councillor workshop.
