Town planning report

1      INTRODUCTION
       Wessel Petroleum Pty Ltd has commissioned InsiteSJC to prepare this report to
       accompany a development application for a Material change of use—Service
       station, consistent with the Planning Act 2016, at the corner of Mary Street and
       Weyba Road, Noosaville (described as Lot 21 on RP72829 & Lot 1 on RP131598).

       This report—
       (1)      describes the proposed development;
       (2)      identifies the relevant assessment benchmarks and any other relevant
                matters;
       (3)      evaluates the likely impacts of the proposal, including considering any
                mitigation measures;
       (4)      assesses the proposal against the assessment benchmarks; and,
       (5)      provides a summary of reasons for the assessment manager to approve the
                application.

       The application follows pre-lodgement discussions with Noosa Council to discuss
       the opportunities associated with the proposed development. The discussions
       highlighted the importance of—
       •        protecting the amenity of adjoining residential land uses;
       •        presenting the building’s architecture in a way that was appropriate to the
                character of Noosa and to the prominent position at the Weyba Road –
                Mary Street junction;
       •        managing the safety and efficiency of the internal and external traffic
                network; and
       •        providing suitable infrastructure and services to meet the demands of the
                proposed development while limiting off-site impacts.

       The feedback from these discussions has been incorporated into the final design of
       the proposal.
