4.2     Key issues
4.2.1 The Noosa Plan 2020
The development is within the existing Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club’s lease area for volunteer
activities and does not decrease the amount of public open space in or around Hastings Street. The
replacement roof will enable volunteers to cook in the shade on the Summer Sunday mornings during
nippers.
The proposed 11m2 shade structure replaces the existing 2 shade sails and is small scale in keeping
with the existing development on the site. The structure is lightweight and fits in with the existing
building. The cover is setback 3.5m from the northern lease boundary and will not impact on views
or adversely affect the experience of visitors to the beach. The roof form will include a minimum 5-
degree pitch and provides for shade to members using the facilities. The cover does not increase
the use area of the lifesaving club and does not trigger any additional carparking requirements.
The scale of the additions are consistent with the recreation needs of the community, locational
characteristics and supporting infrastructure with the BBQ area catering for members on a Sunday
Morning. The cover will allow for shade within the forecourt area for the nipper BBQ area and is
consistent with the requirements of the Recreation and Open Space Code requirements of The
Noosa Plan 2020.

planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme
appropriately integrates all SPP provisions.

6.0 Conclusion

This application seeks a minor change to the plans of the existing approval 132004.4078 for a cover
to the Nippers BBQ area. The proposed development complies with the definition of a minor change
under Schedule 2 of the Planning Act 2016 and is not substantially different development in
accordance with Schedule 1 of the DA Rules 2017. The assessment finds the proposal respects the
existing development approval and generally meets the relevant statutory instruments including The
Noosa Plan requirements.

The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is
therefore recommended. Please contact me if you require any further information and/or clarification
with respect to the above application.
