from such operations, provided that sales space does not exceed 20% of the use area. Any space
dedicated for administration or accounting work in connection with such operations does not exceed
20% of the use area”. Furthermore, Type 1 Industrial Business (Warehouse) is defined as “the use of
premises for the storage of goods, merchandise or materials in large stocks (whether or not such
storage is required for an adjoining shop or other commercial premises), pending their distribution or
wholesale. The use includes a warehouse or self-storage facility”. In this respect the proposed Reece
HVAC-R warehouse and trade branch is described as Industrial business type 1.

Lot 1 of the Noosa Metro Innovation Park plans comprises of approved build A. The proposal seeks to
modify approved building A to accommodate the proposed Reece HVAC-R warehouse and trade
branch. This involves the amendment of the approved 4 tenancy building into a single tenancy.
Notwithstanding the proposed Reece HVAC-R warehouse and trade branch does not result in
substantially different development. In particular:

       The proposal presents a single storey form with an internal mezzanine consistent with the
        approval;
       The site cover is maintained at 45.2% which is consistent with the approved 45.7%;
       Maintains a building form positioned along the southern boundary consistent with the
        existing approval;
       The proposal maintains the 5m setback for fire compliance to the rear boundary;
       Provides 18 on site car parking spaces consistent with the approval and requirements under
        the scheme of 1 space per 50sqm of use area;
       Provides for a front setback of 1.8m- 3.9m facilitating a landscape buffer of typically greater
        than 2.0m to the front boundary. The proposed setback will complement surrounding
        setback pattern and allow for soft landscaping to the street frontage; and
       Provides for a built form outcome that will integrate with the character of the surrounding
        development including the use of varied sloping roof forms.


With respect to the front setback, the buildings constructed on Lots 3 & 4 consists of front setbacks of
4.2m, thus the site will have a front setback that is complementary to the other lots that have already
been constructed on the same side of the street.

Reference is made to the pre-lodgement meeting held with Council on the 29 July 2017 in which
Council identified ‘in principle’ support for the proposal under a Change Application.
