MCU14/0053 - Proposal Report

Proposal Report      Proposed Material Change of Use of Premises for Retail Business - Type 2 Shop and Salon over Land situated at 15 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads
                     described as Lot 6 on N21827
Applicant:           Cammeray Investments Pty Ltd



6.0 The Proposal
The approved premise functions as a shop selling surf clothing, accessories and surfboards and other surfing
gear as well as the hiring of surfboards to the general public. The landowner proposes to seek approval to
utilise additional areas wholly within the subject site for activities associated with the approved shop, for the
purpose of display and storage for surfboards and surfing gear, as well as an ancillary workshop for the repair
and detailing of surfboards and surfing gear. No surfboard shaping or intensive manufacturing activity is
proposed as part of these detailing works, with this aspect of the use to be ancillary to the dominant continued
use of the site for surf wear and surfboard sales. Accordingly, as the activity is to be low intensity and largely
for minor aesthetic/detailing purposes and small repairs, in supporting the sales of surfboards associated with
the existing use, no significant off-site or on-site impacts are anticipated with the proposed use of the rear
internal workshop and storage area within the site.

There is no intention to change any operational aspects of the approved use other than increase the use area
as shown on the proposal plan.


Proposal plan

The building footprint indicated on the attached Proposal Plan (D-C01548-01-A) shows the boundaries of the
existing internal shop area, and the proposed surfboard display and storage area.

The use classification for the proposed change to the use is considered to still be Retail – Type 2, due to the
following:

      •      The proposed additional use of the site for extra surfboard storage and display areas, is considered to
             be consistent with The 2006 Noosa Plan, and is subordinate and complimentary to the current use and
             purpose of the retail space;
      •      The proposed use of the site is not dissimilar in nature or intensity when compared with other allowable
             example uses within the current approved use of Type 2 – Retail; and
      •      The proposed extra surfboard storage and display area, are not considered to present any significant
             on-site or off-site impacts, upon any relevant aspects of the site or the neighbourhood’s functions.
