2.0 EXISTING SITUATION

21 Site Location and Use

The site is located at 9 — 21 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads. It is currently operated as the
Seahaven Resort and consists of:

. 48 one and two bedroom units (66 keys);

. 12 retail tenancies including 2 restaurants fronting Hastings Street;
. a ground floor reception area/front office;

. a single vehicular access;

. on-street servicing;

e basement parking for 70 cars.

It is important to recognise that the proposed development will result in fewer units and
fewer/lesser retail tenancies/space. As a result, fewer car spaces are proposed.

2.2 Surrounding Road Network

The development site is adjacent to Hastings Street, Noosa Heads, which is a two lane road
with on-street parking and loadings bays which are protected by kerb build-outs. Hastings
Street is a cul-de-sac which provides access to the frontage resort-style accommodation and
retail. It is best described as a “Main Street” hence it is desirable to discourage significant
traffic volumes/speed and to encourage an appropriate balance between on-street parking,
traffic movement, property access, pedestrian facilities, cycle movement and loading
arrangements.
