MCU22/0038.01 – MINOR CHANGE TO A DEVELOPMENT PERMIT (COMMERCIAL BUSINESS TYPE 1 – OFFICE AND COMMERCIAL BUSINESS TYPE 2 - MEDICAL) AT 28 EENIE CREEK ROAD, NOOSAVILLE · Report

PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING                                               11 APRIL 2023


  Assessment Type                    Minor Change to Development Approval

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In July 2022, Council approved an application for a two-storey office/medical building to be
constructed over two levels of basement parking on a vacant site at the Noosa Civic. The applicant
has now confirmed an anchor tenant for the site and has lodged an application to change the
development approval to accommodate the specific needs of the tenant. These changes involve the
construction of a purpose-built radiation treatment facility in the basement which results in additional
gross floor area of 118m2 (GFA) and changes to the carparking area.

The changes to the carparking area include removal of tandem carparking spaces which reduces
the carparking from 104 to 96 spaces. The increase in GFA in the basement is offset by a reduction
of 118m2 of GFA throughout the remainder of the development as a result of the conversion of office
space to services, increased stairwell areas and additional lift area to the basement. Accordingly,
there is no overall increase in GFA across the development. The applicant has submitted a traffic
report as part of the application which has been reviewed by Council’s traffic consultant who has
indicated that the proposed carparking arrangements are acceptable provided the associated
tenancy is used for oncology services as detailed by the applicant. Conditions to limit the use are
recommended and the change application is supported.
