Minor Change Report 51992 213 03 (As Published)

               The assessment of the existing use under previous planning schemes utilised the use definition of
               Special Uses – Scouts, and subsequently Community Uses – Open Space. The current Planning
               Scheme would define the use as a Club (Scouts). The Club use is consistent in the Recreation and
               Open Space Zone under the current Noosa Plan (2020) however is required to follow a code
               assessable application process.
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments. The
               pertinent issues arising out of the assessment are discussed below:


               Recreation and Open Space Zone Code
               Gross Floor Area
               Acceptable Outcome AO18.1 of the Recreation and Open Space Zone Code requires:
               AO18.1 Buildings or roofed structures do not generally exceed a gross floor area of:
                    a) 1000m2 for the portion of Lot 3 SP246584 to the north of Walter Hay Drive, Noosaville; or
                    b) otherwise 100m2 excluding major sporting clubs, clubhouse facilities which do not exceed
                       800m2.
               The total GFA on the site of all existing and proposed buildings results in a site coverage of 1200m2.
               Assessment is required against the respective Performance Outcome PO18, which requires:
               PO18 Buildings and other roofed structures do not present an appearance of bulk in the open
                   space setting, to adjacent properties, roads or surrounding area.
               Assessment
               The proposed change to the existing use involves partial demolition of an existing building to site
               the new amenities block. While the total site gross floor area is 1,200m2, the removal of a part of a
               building (156m2) and construction of the new amenities block with a GFA of 99m2 is reasonable.
               The proposed amenities block is of a small scale, replacing an existing part of a building on the lot
               and is setback well within the site to all boundaries. Substantial established vegetation and fencing
               is located along frontages (Gibson Road) and does not present an appearance of bulk in the open
               space setting to either adjacent properties, roads or surrounding areas.
               The proposed development complies with the Performance Outcome PO18.


               Roof Form
               Acceptable Outcome AO22 of the Recreation and Open Space Zone Code requires:
               AO22 The main roof of the building has a roof pitch no less than 5 degrees and incorporates
                   minimum 600 millimetre eaves.
               The building design proposed for the amenities block has a roof pitch of 2.5 degrees and does not
               incorporate eaves. Assessment is required against the respective Performance Outcome PO18,
               which requires:
               PO22 Roof forms contribute positively to the local skyline and do not present an appearance of
                   excessive bulk to adjacent sites or public spaces around the site.
               Assessment
               The amenities block is to be set within close proximity of an existing building on the lot, in place of
               a previous part of the building that is to be demolished to site the new amenities building. The
               location of this building is in amongst existing buildings and established mature vegetation. The
               roof form does not present an appearance of bulk. The proposed building is setback in a location
               that is not visible from the adjacent sites or public spaces around the site given the existing
               buildings. The building is obscured from view from any area outside of the property. The roof form
               is considered to achieve compliance with the Performance Outcome PO22.

                                                                                                        Page 7 of 13
