               Assessment
               The existing dining facilities for the surf club are of a scale that are not consistent with both the
               Noosa Plan 2006 and Noosa Plan 2020 provisions with food and drink outlets intended to be small
               scale and ancillary to the surf lifesaving role of the club. Notwithstanding this, the original
               application was approved as these facilities were considered an integral part of the social fabric of
               the community and the surf life saving club. The approved redevelopment also maintained the
               same footprint of the existing club house with the previous surf club including a large outdoor dining
               area situated on the eastern side of the club.
               The proposed enclosure and additional roof of the main deck’s outdoor dining area will not result
               in any increase in dining area or increase to the surf club’s foot print. The enclosure and new roof
               will not adversely impact on the scenic amenity and character of the area and will not generate any
               additional car parking requirements. The works will also not materially impact on the view of
               surrounding units, as evident from the analysis previously provided for the redevelopment of the
               surf club.
               In regard to coastal management and protection while the proposed works are less likely to be
               able to be dismantled if threatened by extreme weather events compared with the approved
               structure over the main deck, the works remain within the existing building footprint and are able
               to be abandoned as defined by the State Planning Policy 2017.
               Overall the enclosure and additional roof to the main deck is expected to blend with and
               complement the existing building and improve the functionality of the deck for patrons.
               4.     CONSULTATION
               4.1. Referral Agencies
               No Referral Agencies were required to be notified for this application.
               4.2. Internal Council Referrals
               Not applicable
               5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 83(9) of the Planning Act 2016.
