KHA DEVELOPMENT MANAGERS                                                                     TOWN PLANNING REPORT 11357




4.0 PROPOSAL


The proposal seeks to establish Retail Business Type 2 Shop & Salon and                        Multiple Housing Type 4
Conventional (1 Additional Unit and Management office) in accordance with the Architectural Plans

prepared by Bark Design Architects included in Attachment B.                  This proposal involves change to the

upper level to re-establish as a residential unit and change to the ground level for a street front shop
with a small onsite manager’s office behind. This change includes some minor building extensions

comprising 25.67m2 on the upper level and 38.43m2 at ground level together with a new covered
carport for the residential unit. This change of use is associated with an overall refurbishment of the
existing development to modernise and improve the current site amenity. The proposal plans include
calculations of existing and       proposed site cover and GFA. The proposed calculations shown, also
includes minor work associated with the overall refurbishment of the existing development, which is

subject to a separate ’permissible change’ application and which demonstrate compliance with current
planning scheme provisions.

The current site development was originally established under Approval No 51975.3702 (TPC 545) for
14 Multiple   Dwelling Units granted 18 & 19 February 1976. Under this approval Lot 1 comprised a
multiple dwelling unit at level 1 with the ground level being an ancillary onsite management office. A
change of use for Lot 1 occurred under Approval No 51988.2776 (TPC 2094) for conversion of the
unit and managers office to Commercial premises (Real Estate Office) granted 13 October 1988.


The   proposed change will bring the existing development in line with the Noosa Plan intent for
Hastings Street to comprise active street front non-residential use at ground level with residential use
above ground level. The proposed refurbishment and minor works will result in a significant visual

amenity improvement to the existing streetscape.


Existing population density is 33.6 persons (ie 14 x 2 bedroom units). The proposed additional 2
bedroom unit will increase population density to 36, which remains less than the allowable site

population density of 63.42 persons (ie 2265m2 @ 280 persons per hectare).

Existing GFA is 1,526.56m2. The proposed extensions of 64.1m2 will increase this GFA to 1,590.66m2,
which remains less than the maximum allowable GFA for the site of 2536.8m2. (ie max population

density of 63.42 x 40). Refer plan DA.003 D for GFA calculations.


Key development parameters of the proposal are summarised as follows:
