RFI - Updated planning report Noosa Marina v.3 Nov 20

PO22 of the Tewantin Locality Code requires the Noosa Marina to provide for the continued
operation of marine moorings and ancillary business uses and food and drink outlets, while providing
the required car parking onsite. Although the restaurant tenancy building 2A is slightly increasing in
enclosed size, the area of the dining area is not increasing.
Carparking
The Driveways and Parking Code does not differentiate a separate carparking rate between outdoor
dining and indoor tenancy areas, with the proposal not increasing the use areas for the restaurant
tenancies. As a result, no additional carparking impacts are anticipated or required.
Building Design
The building works for tenancy 2A is to be finished with weatherboard cladding and windows to
match in with the existing restaurant tenancy, while a new awning roof is also proposed to match in
with the colourbond roof (with solar panels). There is still a break between the building elements on
the site and will match into the existing built form. A picture of the existing built form, as seen from
the river is included below.

The development is considered to comply with the relevant Outcomes of the Tewantin Local Plan
code, which seeks development to comprise timber and tin construction with a traditional pitched
design and the proposed development incorporates these materials/elements.


Amenity of river users
Performance Outcome PO18 & 19 of the Tewantin Local Plan Code requires commercial
development on or adjacent to the Noosa River ensures no net increase in the gross floor area of
building and structures beyond existing footprints within existing lease areas. The proposal slightly
increases gross floor area with the permanent enclosure over the existing deck area, which was
previously covered by a shade sail and approved for outdoor dining.
Notwithstanding the above, the design replaces an existing shade sail and umbrellas previously used
in this area - greatly improving the built form and amenity for users of the facility. Furthermore, the
view from the river is also enhanced with a more sympathetic design in keeping with the existing
buildings and a more contemporary design.
The plans also demonstrate that roof will allow sufficient clearance to the water to prevent
interference with docked vessels at mean high water.
The proposed external building works replace existing large shade sails and does not increase the
footprint of shade structures onsite. The proposal also reduces the overall use area for dining and
impacts on carparking. The proposal is consistent with the Overall and Purpose Outcomes of the
Tewantin Locality Code.
