Town Planning Report - Raw & Rice

“Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




        In terms of patron noise, this is limited to patrons attending the site for takeaway food with no onsite dining
        or music being proposed.


        The intended hours of operation are from 11am to 7pm; however, in order to maintain flexibility, any
        operating hours imposed on the approval should be consistent with acceptable outcome AO11.2, which
        states … where the site is not specified above in AO11.1 the use does not operate outside the hours of
        6:00am to 10:00pm, seven days a week, except that a business use such as a food and drink outlet, may
        operate until 12:00 midnight on a Friday and Saturday. This is because the proposed development does not
        adjoin a residential zone, except for the Tourist Accommodation Zone, which is allowed.


        Driveway and Parking Code
        The most relevant issue under the Driveway and Parking Code is respect to carparking, given the proposed
        use is to be established within an existing building and within in existing mixed use complex.


        Carparking

        Acceptable outcome AO6.1 refers to Table 9.4.1.4 Minimum parking requirements.


        Under Table 9.4.1.4, a Food and Drink Outlet use is to provide one (1) space per 20m² of use area and
        outdoor business area, excluding the kitchen and food storage areas.


        In this case, having regard to the proposed floor plan (Figure 2), the use area excluding the kitchen and
        food storage and preparation area is 14m². Consequently, the use area requires one (1) car parking space.
        As explained above, there is no outdoor business area associated with the existing tenancy or the proposed
        development.


        For the existing Shop use, a parking rate of one (1) space per 20m² of GFA also applies. The existing GFA
        for the shop is 48.5m². Consequently, this equates to about two (2) spaces being applicable to the existing
        tenancy. This means for the proposed food and drink outlet there is less demand for parking and the
        development complies with the Driveways and Parking Code, having a surplus of one (1) parking space. As
        explained above, it is intended by this application to provide for the new use, but the existing shop use will
        be maintained under the current development approval for “The Islander Noosa Resort” (TPC 1957).



        Infrastructure Charges

        The Noosa Shire Council Charges Resolution (No.7) 2022 is applicable for all development within the Noosa
        Area. Under Table 10.3 Schedule of the Council adopted charges, a shop and a food and drink outlet have
        the same rates per m² of GFA and per m² of imperious area for stormwater. Consequently, in this case there
        should be no charge applicable under the ICR given there is no change to the existing GFA with no new
        building work being proposed. Further, there is no change to the amount of impervious area associated
        with this tenancy.
