Planning Report Chalet & Co - 12.03.18

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

                                                                                    1 Tingira Crescent, Sunrise Beach




3.         Development Intent
The existing development and use comprises of a café (Chalet & Co) operating from the ground floor of a
multistorey holiday apartment complex (Beach Chalet) located at 1 Tingira Crescent, Sunrise Beach. In order to
formalise the current non-conforming use a Material Change of Use to establish a café is required.
The proposed Entertaining and Dining business – Type 1 Food and beverages (Café) (Chalet & Co) is a popular
café which caters predominantly to the local community of Sunrise Beach and visitors to the Council patrolled
beach.

The existing café provides a local retail function at a scale which is fitting for the informal coastal atmosphere
of Sunrise Beach. Aligning with the definition of Type 1 Food and Beverage, Chalet & Co comprises of indoor
and outdoor seating for patrons.

As can be seen by the proposed trading hours of 6.00am – 3.00pm, the café is focused on the breakfast and
lunch time trade of both the local community and adjoining holiday apartments. It is both complimentary and
in keeping with the past uses on the site and serves an important localized function to the community.

Councils own shopping complex in Ben Lexcen Drive does not fulfill the requirements of the local community
due to its location and offering of services. The Chalet and Co café due to its adjacent location to the patrolled
beach meets the expectation and requirements of those who are attending the beach for recreation purposes.
