Since the redevelopment of the site, a café with take-away provisions has been operating from the site for
approximately 20 years. The existing and past uses of the site have consisted of indoor and outdoor dining
areas, take-away provisions, food display and counter, kitchen and amenities.

being the café as having a large number of outside table, chairs and umbrellas, in excess of the allowed 10 seats
as per the planning scheme requirements.
Outside of the Business and Neighbourhood Centres of Noosa Junction, Peregian and Sunshine Beaches, Chalet
& Co is the only café within close proximity to the residents of Sunrise. Due to the site’s central location, ease
of accessibility via a major road and public transport, community facilities and Council patrolled beach, the café
services a considerable local and visitor population.
Overlooking Sunrise Beach, Chalet & Co proves to be a favourite meeting spot for local residents and visitors
enjoying the natural low-key appeal of the locality. Refer to the following Photos 1, 2 and 3 of the existing café
operation and its setting.
