5.0 Background
A Negotiated Decision Notice (DA ref: 2008/890) is understood to be the existing approval over the site, issued by
Noosa Council on 13 October 2008, for a Material Change of Use approving ‘Retail Business - Type 2 – Shop
and salon - (a) standard (excluding food preparation)’. The Negotiated Decision Notice contains a plan of lease
for the approved change of use, attached as Page 6 in the Decision Notice, showing a gross floor area of 85m2
and Condition 1 in the existing development approval nominated a total use area of 77m2. This total use area
was equated to what is understood to be the net lettable area within the then existing building.

The existing development approval has nominated approved use is a Retail Business - Type 2 – Shop and
salon - (a) standard (excluding food preparation)) which is defined in the 2006 Noosa Plan as:

             ‘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.’

It should be noted that the defined use being Retail Business - Type 2 – Shop and salon allows for ‘a café with
dining facilities for up to 10 people’, though the use description approved limits the use to exclude food
preparation.
