Planning Report of Proposed Development Lot 1-10 Thomas St Noosaville

- A proposed landscaping area is to be provided within the site as raised on-site planter boxes along
the site frontage of the designated ‘Area A’ outdoor dining area, approximately 4.5m long by 0.6m
wide. A small area of landscaping approx. 1m by 0.6m will also be re-established near the north
eastern corner of the outdoor dining area.
- A small extension to operating hours is requested as an alternative Acceptable Solution for the
proposed use on Friday and Saturday nights between 6am and 10pm; which is considered to be of
low impact and consistent with the general intent of the Tourist Accommodation Zone in this
Thomas St location.
