façade of the tenancy and overall centre. The structure will provide coverage from the weather elements
to customers within the designated outdoor dining area and create an attractive streetscape.

Awning Design
A set of drawings have been provided in support of this application which show the fixed awning
structure on the tenancy shopfront elevation and the introduction of an additional shaded external
dining space for the operational requirements of the new tenant. The plans illustrate the location,
dimensions, and design of the awnings over the outdoor seating area and demonstrates how these
integrate with the existing building. This proposed change aligns with the style, scale and material of
surrounding awnings that can be seen along Noosa Civic Centre.

The proposed dimensions
As shown on plan DA 1003 Rev D, elevations of the awnings are as follows:
- RL 5.000
- RL4.100

The area of the structures are as follows:
- Roof Structure A - 26.5m2
- Roof Structure B - 91.5m2
- Roof Structure C - 85.3m2
Total = 203.3 m2

Materality
The plan DA1000 Rev D refers to the finishes for the proposed work, which suggests a light weight roof
structure to the new dining area, colorbond roof, c channel fascia powder coat to match existing trim,
timber look aluminum lining to the underside, surface mount light fittings, stainless steel downpipes and
post and angled structural columns (150x150) to match existing design at the woolworths entry. All
finishes are in keeping with the surrounding materials and existing awnings.

Design features
The design of the awnings have followed the existing awning structures, as seen along Noosa Civic
Centre. The awning is designed with a titled roof structure to facilitate rainwater flow into the gutter and
into the downpipes.

Mural
A mural has been proposed on one external wall on the façade of the Tenancy, as seen on DA903 Rev C.
This plan, along with the finishes plan (DA1000 Rev D) provides a visual example of a local artist mural
envisioned for this artwork. Final specification to be confirmed.

Planter
The existing planters are to be relocated and painted for the reuse within the proposed outdoor seating
area.

Doors and Windows
The new shopfront has proposed manual bifold window and entry doors with external commercial grade
aluminum frames and clear safety glass panels to match existing. A proposed sliding door has been
incorporated leading out to the outdoor seating area, as highlighted on the new awning plan (DA1001 Rev
D).


Outdoor Dining Area
Figure 3 below illustrates the two (2) existing external dining areas at Noosa Civic which relate to the
Bakery and Brown Rice (Sushi) tenancies. This is to be read in conjunction with New Awning Plan DA 1001
Rev D plan and the approved plans (attached) to demonstrate that the existing outdoor dining does not
exceed the total area permitted, therefore the additional space requested as part of this Minor Change
(Outdoor dining area - 77.3m2) does not exceed the allowable area.

Importantly, the existing planning approval includes a condition limiting the overall outdoor dining area
across the site. Condition 228 states:,
 ‘ The outdoor dining areas asssociated with the Retail Centre component shall not exceed 599m2’.

This proposed reallocation of external dining area has been carefully reviewed against Condition 228,
and measurements confirm that the total outdoor dining area, including the newly proposed space is a
total of (145.3m2), which is demonstrated in Figure 3 below therefore remains within this allowable limit
of external dining.

consistent with the definition of a ‘minor change’ under the Planning Act 2016 as outlined below.
