Dear Sir/Madam
We are writing on behalf of our client Tobias Property Holdings Pty. Ltd who have purchased
the above mentioned site to relocate Noosa Chocolate Factory. The proposed development
includes a Type 2 Industrial business with ancillary Café/Retail component and a Caretakers
Unit. This application is Impact Assessable due to the Café, which is listed as an
inconsistent use within the industrial business zone. A pre-lodgement meeting was held to
discuss key issues of the development that would need to be met for compliance with the
Noosa Planning Scheme framework. Minutes from this meeting are attached for reference.

Considerations.
This report has been prepared by Building Suncoast Green and subject to a Material Change of Use
and Operational Works application for a proposed development to accommodate the business of
‘The Noosa Chocolate Factory’.

NOOSA CHOCOLATE FACTORY
Picture of Noosa Chocolate Retail Store in Adelaide Street Brisbane CBD.
The clients own and operate Noosa Chocolate Factory which currently operates from Project
Avenue Noosaville. The business was established here in 2009.The family run operation has
gone from success to success in recent years with expansion into the international market
and several retail outlets in Brisbane CBD.
It is the clients intention to develop a new industrial premises on the subject allowing them
to expand and continue their manufacturing and dispatch operations. With the inclusion of a
café and retail component, they will be able to make their products available to the public in
Noosa for the first time. Currently, the products are un-available to the public as their existing
premises are too small to cope with the demand. As such, the success of this proposal will
realise their long time desire to make their products readily available to the public on the
Sunshine Coast.
The business is highly supportive of fellow Australian industries who farm and harvest key
ingredients that contribute to the success of their chocolate products. The proposed
development will be highly beneficial to the Sunshine Coast on a Tourism scale and Noosa
in particular.

SITE LOACTION
The subject site is a slightly sloping corner allotment with dual street frontages totalling
55meters. The site is part of the Noosa Industrial Park which is centrally located amongst the
established industrial precinct of Noosaville (see figure 1). Situated 7 minutes drive from
Hastings street and less than 1 Kilometre from Noosa’s Shire business centre and shopping
centre.
Noosa Eumundi Road acts as a major feeder road in and out of the Noosa region from the
Bruce Highway and is the main spine road through the Noosaville industrial precinct.
Noosaville Industrial Park offers access to Eumundi Road from both Venture Drive and
Gateway Drive and will link road the two precincts together improving traffic flow and the
volume of passing traffic through the area.

SITE CHARACTER
The land subject of this application (i.e. the site) is located at the corner of Venture Drive
and Vision Court, Noosaville and described as Lot 9 on SP 170295. The site is rectangular in
shape with a truncation on the North-East of the Site
The site slopes from the southern corner towards the northern corner with a fall of some
1500mm, which has been addressed through the building design and site layout.
Venture Drive, to the east is a mix of existing industrial developments, comprising of local
businesses. Gateway Drive to the south-east is also a mix of industrial developments,
accommodating a diverse mix of local businesses – excluding the newly developed
Bunnings Warehouse. The subject site is one of many newly created lots that now link the
two industrial precincts together and create a greater flow for associated traffic.

Page 7
The proposed development is located within the Urban Footprint of the South East
Queensland Regional Plan.
Urban Footprint Intent;
The Urban Footprint identifies land that can meet the region’s urban development
needs to 2031 in a more compact form. -(SEQRP)
Description;
The Urban Footprint includes established urban areas, broadhectare and remnant
broadhectare areas that could be suitable for future urban development. It incorporates the
full range of urban uses, including housing, industry, business, infrastructure, community
facilities and urban open space. –(SEQRP)
Further to this Local Government planning schemes are the main instrument to which will
refine the desired use of the land and the preferred timing of development within the Urban
Footprint.
Comment; Upon consideration of this proposed development against the provisions
of the Noosa Planning Scheme and that relevant parts of the South East Queensland
Regional Plan, this proposed development has been found to be consistent with the overall
intent for the land and area of which it is proposed.
NOOSA PLANNING SCHEME CONSIDERATION
Land Use Definition
The proposed development at the above mentioned address, has been defined by the
Noosa Plan as;
Primary Use – Business
Use Class – Industrial Business; means the conduct of an industrial business activity, where
goods or products are produced, manufactured, dismantled, altered, repackaged, repaired or
stored at a scale of greater than that defined by retail business. The use includes the sale of
goods, resulting from such operations, provided that sales space does not exceed 20% of
the use area. Any space dedicated for administration or accounting work in connection with
such operations does not exceed 20% of the use area. The term includes the following types
Use – Type 2 Production, alteration, repackaging & repairing.
The use of premises for the production, manufacturing, dismantling, altering, cleaning, re-
packaging, freezing or repairing of goods. The use includes food industries, textiles,
mechanical, boat repair, sandblasting

Page 8
The use of premises involving the sale of food and beverages for consumption on the premises. The
use class includes a function room or restaurant or café with dining facilities for 10 or more people.
Locality and Zone
The subject development is located in the Noosaville locality – Map area 8, within the
industry zone of the Noosa Council
The overall outcomes sought for the Noosaville Locality are the following—
a) New uses and works are located, designed and managed to—
1. be compatible with other uses and works;
2. maintain the safety of people and works;
3. avoid significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users of other
premises, including acoustic and visual qualities; and
4. avoid significant adverse effects on the natural environment, including
native habitat removal, fragmentation and attrition;
b) Development is consistent with the Priority Infrastructure Plan in Part 15.
The proposed development (save the café component) is recognised as a consistent use
and is compatible with and complimentary to the mix of industrial business uses within the
surrounding area.
All development works and business operations will be carried out according to work health
and safety requirements. The proposed development includes landscaping for visual
screening and potential acoustic impacts will be managed to a level that is acceptable within
an Industrial area.
The subject site is currently vacant as it has been cleared for the development and
reconfiguring of new lots creating further available lots in the industrial park.
APPLICABLE CODES & OVERLAYS
Building Suncoast Green (07) 5448 8500
Page 9
The following Codes and Overlays have been identified as needed assessment against the
proposed development.
Noosaville Locality Code; (refer section 8.2.1 – 8.2.3)
Business Uses Code;
Landscaping Code;
Ancillary Dwelling Unit – (Caretakers Unit)
Biodiversity Overlay Code;
Natural Hazards Overlay Code;

o Earthworks Code;
o Erosion and Sediment Control Code;
o Existing Services Code;
o Transport, Roads and Drainage Code;
o Waste Management Code;
o Water Sensitive Design Code;
Comment: An assessment of the Business Use Code, Landscaping Code and Driveways and
Carparking Code has been done and included in this report from page 11.
This code assessment has determined that the proposal generally complies with all probable
solutions and specific outcomes. Where probable solutions are not met, an alternative solution
demonstrating compliance with the specific outcome is provided, this includes sufficient planning
grounds to justify the conflicts with the probable solutions.
The remainder of the Codes above in Italics have been addressed below fittingly.
Caretaker’s Unit – (Ancillary Dwelling Unit)
The proposed development includes an ancillary dwelling unit. This is a consistent use within
the Industrial Business Area of which this development is proposed. In consideration of the
definition of the Ancillary Dwelling Unity (Caretaker’s Unit) it was found that the proposal was
compliant with the parameters of the definition. Please see attached Building Design
Concept Drawings reflecting this statement
Biodiversity Overlay Code
The proposed development is identified as being in the Environmental Protection Area. The
subject site is located within the industrial zone on land that has been cleared and prepared
for future development purposes. Currently the site does not contain any natural and
regulated vegetation or regional ecosystems. At most, vegetation on the site is sections of
re-growth and small to medium sized groupings of grass species. The proposed
development will include landscaped sections facing the street totalling 324.6sqm which will
include preferred endemic species suited to the area, (refer to attached landscape plans for
details). This is above the required landscape requirements as specified in the relevant
sections of the Planning Scheme. It was the clients intention to provide a landscape
environment that would soften the built structure and to accentuate their business premises
as a statement of the industrial area.
As a result vegetation and biodiversity of the site will be improved, as will surrounding sites
with future development anticipated. Erosion and sediment control measures will be
implemented during construction and appropriate drainage networks will be put in place to
ensure minimal impact on the surrounding waterways from runoff from the site.
