Planning Report Chalet & Co - 12.03.18

                                              MCU to establish Entertainment and Dining Business - Type 1 Food and Beverage

                                                                                          1 Tingira Crescent, Sunrise Beach




8.         Noosa Plan Considerations

8.1        Desired Environmental Outcomes

COMMERCIAL & RETAIL USES
A hierarchy of centres with a range of Commercial and Retail business uses provide suitable levels of amenity,
service and access to the community, consistent with the community’s location and needs and is based on—

         vi) neighbourhood or visitor centres at Peregian Beach, Sunrise Beach, Sunshine Beach, Noosa Heads,
         Noosaville, Tewantin, Cooroibah and Teewah;

         viii) Uses that comprise a large component of Commercial and Retail business uses or other non-
         industrial uses are not located on land that is otherwise intended for Industrial business uses;

Comment: The proposed Entertaining and Dining business – Type 1 Food and beverages (Café) is of a scale
suitable for its location. The small café with outdoor dining provides a casual dining atmosphere desired by
local residents and tourists.

The use recognises and reflects the natural character and environment of the Eastern Beach communities. The
proposed café will not conflict with the higher order centres of Peregian, Sunshine Beach and meet the
expectation and needs of the Sunrise Beach visitor and resident that is not met by the shopping centre facilities
on Ben Lexcen Drive.

COMMUNITY USES & FACILITIES
An adequate range of community services and facilities supporting the physical, safety, artistic and social needs
of the community are equitably distributed having regard to the—

         i) location and density of housing;

         ii) location of transport infrastructure;

         iii) location of business centres;

         iv) social, economic and demographic patterns of Noosa; and

         v) function of towns and villages.

Comment: The café is highly accessible due to its proximity to the David Low Way (major transport corridor)
and linking public and active transport infrastructure. Acting as a focal point, the development provides a low
key informal atmosphere and café experience for visitors residing in the adjacent and neighbouring holiday
accommodation.

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 Beach. Providing sit down and take away
provisions Chalet & Co serves the permanent residential population of Sunrise Beach, the visitors residing in
the short term accommodation adjacent to the site, and the users of the Council patrolled beach.
