Attachment 1 - Preliminary Town Planning Advice · MCU15/0122

   - Shop & Saloon over the subject land, generally in accordance with the proposal
   plans provided by Blackburne Jackson Design.

3. The proposed medical centre has a gross floor area of about 2,470m², which is to
   be provided over two levels. According to the town planning report, a total of 125
   on-site car parking spaces are to be provided, the majority of which are included in
   a basement (97 spaces), with some parking to be provided at grade (28) near
   Goodchap Street; however in response to the information request made, 31 spaces
   are now proposed at grade near the Goodchap Street frontage.

4. Access to the development is proposed off Goodchap Street with both the entry
   and exist being left in and left out. According to the proposal plans, the proposed
   building is about 8m in height from the natural ground level, over a basement
   carpark.

5. It is intended that about 1,000m² of the floor space will be used by Noosa
   Radiology, which currently occupies about 744m² of floor space in the nearby
   Noosaville Medical and Professional Centre (Centre), located on the corner of
   Goodchap Street and Eumundi-Noosa Road. The remaining floor space is to be
   provided for specialist medical practices and also includes a small café, to be used
   primarily by on-site patients and employees.

6. The proposed development is located in an established residential area located
   directly opposite the Noosa Hospital, which is comprised primarily of detached
   housing. The proposed development primarily fronts Goodchap Street; however
   also fronts Val Crescent, which is a residential cul-de-sac.

7. From the proposal plans, it appears that the proposed development is 2 storeys in
   height with a basement carpark also being provided. The proposed development
   primarily fronts Goodchap Street and has reduced building setbacks to Val
   Crescent. Some landscaping is proposed to be provided to the frontages.

Noosa Plan 2006

8. Under the Noosa Plan 2006 (planning scheme) the subject land is located in the
   Detached Housing Zone. According to the Table of Assessment for the Detached
   Housing Zone, both Commercial Business Type 2 – Medical and Retail Business Type
   2 - Shop & Salon are inconsistent uses and are subject to impact assessment.
   Consequently an assessment is required against the whole of the planning scheme.
