PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                         9 MARCH 2021




                  Figure 3: Updated awning along western elevation of 6 Thomas Street

Although the awning has not been reduced in height, as per Condition 24, the use of the lightweight
wooden battening on the awning is considered to ‘incorporate design elements to add visual
interest and amenity’ and provides ‘subtle changes in colours, textures and materials to break up
the building facades and complement the natural environment’, consistent with the Tourist
Accommodation Zone Code requirements under Noosa Plan 2020. As such, the alteration to the
awning is considered an acceptable built form outcome.
It is recommended Condition 24 be amended to read as follows:
24.   The building must be well articulated, with strong vertical design feature elements. The
      awning located within the road reserve must include lightweight timber features. The building
      must include subtle changes in colours, textures and materials to break up the building
      facades, with the exception of the northern elevation which may include a mural design. Any
      changes to the existing mural design and/or colour palette will require written authorisation
      from Council.

The application was forwarded to the following internal Council specialists:
     Strategic Planning
5.    CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The proposal seeks a Minor Change to a development approval for a shop and restaurant at 6
Thomas Street, Noosaville.
The changes to the internal layout to the approved plans and deletion of the specific use area and
gross floor area requirements under Conditions 14 and 15 is supported due to both approved uses
being consistent in the Tourist Accommodation zone under Noosa Plan 2020.
The opening hours of operation currently conditioned are consistent with requirements of both
Noosa Plan 2006 and Noosa Plan 2020, and therefore it is recommended Condition 16 remain
unchanged.
