GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                               13 JANUARY 2020


   Shop
Type 2 Shop & salon - The use of premises for an activity that is generally found in a shopping
complex, strip or centre. The use includes a shop, hairdressing salon, appliance repairs,
alterations, dry cleaning and a café with dining facilities for up to 10 people.
The applicant’s proposed definition of showroom is:
Retail Showroom - premises not less than 300m² per tenancy used for the display and sale of
large or bulky goods, or large stocks of similar goods or related goods.
The proposed showroom definition in some respects combines The Noosa Plan’s showroom and
shop definitions and is not considered a new use as such. Large format retail businesses clearly
sit comfortably either with the Noosa Plan definitions of showroom or shop, dependant on the
products sold. The applicant’s other proposed definitions also fit clearly within the Noosa Plans’
definitions.
The applicant’s tailored use definitions are not required as the uses proposed are essentially the
same as the Noosa Plans’. The proposed use definitions therefore create ambiguity and
difficulties in administering the development should the development be approved and are
unnecessary.
Overall Outcomes
The proposal is required to accord with the Overall Outcomes of the Noosaville Locality Code.
The relevant Outcomes are discussed below.
Overall Outcomes
tt) For the Shire Business Centre Zone—the Shire Business Centre—
     i is a Major Activity Centre for the purposes of the SEQ Regional Plan, and the principle

     providing for a wide range of Business Uses as well as administrative, community, and
     open space functions;
     ii is a multi-function employment node forming the major focus of employment growth in the
     coastal area of Noosa;
     iii follows a logical sequencing of development consistent with the needs of the community
     that is dependent on the—
            A) timing and construction of the external and internal road systems;
            B) dedication of a substantial area of open space; and
            C) development of a substantive amount of non-retailing development for
            employment opportunities beyond Retail business;
     iv is developed at a low scale and density with distinctive and unique design elements,
     determined by the setting and recognisable as a Noosa development;
     v comprises buildings of low rise form separated by attractive and low key informal spaces
     that are integrated with landscaping and open space areas;
     vi has an outdoor focus, particularly for Retail business uses, office uses and Community
     Uses;

     transport node, with pedestrian and bicycle paths and appropriate external connections;
     viii provides visual and physical connectivity across and throughout the site;
     ix is designed to ensure that peak traffic flows and access to the Shire Business Centre do
     not impact on the wider functions of Eenie Creek Road and Walter Hay Drive;
