Information Request MCU23 0078 [As Published] · MCU23/0078

                 19.    Provide updated responses to the relevant codes having regard to the actual uses that
                        are being proposed for the development, while having regard to the mix of uses
                        reasonably expected within the Major Centre Zone, as a whole.


                 Issue - Integration with the Transit Centre
                 Under the Major Centre Zone Code, overall outcome (3)(h), states:
                 Development provides an integrated built form with visual and physical connectivity across
                 and throughout the Noosa Business Centre including the subregional transit facility.
                 Further, overall outcome (4)(h) states:
                 Development is designed and sited to visually and physically integrate well with the
                 subregional transit facility.
                 Under the development approval for Reconfiguring a Lot, it is proposed that the transit centre
                 be located within Lot 24, which is subject to a further planning scheme amendment1.
                 Consequently, it is reasonably expected that development will be integrated with the proposed
                 transit centre in this location. While a pedestrian pathway is provided along the proposed
                 internal roadway, the proposed development does not integrate or have any real association
                 with the proposed development given the landscape buffer, parking and access to the
                 basement carpark to the north.
                 The proposal does not provide a high-quality pedestrian environment that connects with the
                 subregional transport facility at the entrance to the ’main street’.
                 Information Required:
                 20.    Provide amended proposal plans demonstrating how the proposed development has
                        been designed and sited, both visually and physically, to be integrated with the proposed
                        subregional transit facility, which is now to be located within Lot 24.
                 21.    Provide further information that demonstrates safe, convenient, and amenable
                        pedestrian connectivity from the proposed development to the sub-regional transit
                        facility.


                 Issue – Residential Development
                 It is noted that the Visitor Accommodation Code has not been addressed in the application
                 material, which is relevant to the assessment of the proposed short-term accommodation.
                 Under the Visitor Accommodation Code, overall outcome (2)(f) states …visitor
                 accommodation located near permanent residents does not detract from the amenity enjoyed
                 by residents.
                 Performance outcome PO22, states:
                 Except where in the form of a serviced apartment or hotel room the short term accommodation
                 use is provided with sufficient kitchen, dining, laundry and common room facilities to
                 accommodate the needs of visitors and resident staff.
                 Performance outcome PO25 states (in part):
                 Short term accommodation in a single dwelling is limited to formats compatible with the
                 character and use of the area so as not to cause unreasonable loss of residential amenity,
                 having regard to:
