Supporting letter to SCRC · 51997.2256.01

        (b) if the application for the approval were remade including the change—
                           (i) require referral to additional concurrence agencies;
                           or
                          (ii) for an approval for assessable development that previously did not
                          require impact assessment—require impact assessment; or

             No concurrence agencies would be triggered by the proposal and the level of
             assessment has not altered.

        (c) for an approval for assessable development that previously required impact
        assessment—be likely, in the responsible entity’s opinion, to cause a person to make a
        properly made submission objecting to the proposed change, if the circumstances allowed;

             It is unlikely that a person would make a submission objecting to the proposed change
             as the area is currently approved for a commercial use (that of a bank),
             pedestrian/public access will be improved by the increased setback of the building and
             that carparking will not be affected.

             It is noted that the existing façade of the building curves across the site and presents
             an open area to the adjoining tenancy. The proposed works and alteration to the
             façade do not result in any additional floor area and increase the setbacks to Hastings
             Street, therefore it is unlikely that a submission would be made to the proposal.

        (d) cause development to which the approval relates to include any prohibited development.

             Not prohibited development.

The proposal is therefore considered to be able to be considered as permissible change.


Noosa Plan

The site is included in the Noosa Heads Locality which provides a Visitor Mixed Use zoning over the
property. The proposal has been reviewed against the provisions of the Noosa Plan and is
considered to generally fulfill the provisions of the planning scheme.

The proposal does not increase site cover, gross floor area or affect landscaped open space. No
carparking is applicable to the changes application as the area as no new area if proposed



CONCLUSION
The conversion of the existing commercial services to a shop is a use that is consistent with the character
of the Hastings precinct. The proposed use and alterations will present a more usable tenancy for the site
that is consistent with the surrounding area. The proposal complies with scheme requirements and
provides the opportunity for a more interesting and active street front and pedestrian area. The applicant
seeks Council support for the proposal.
