  with surrounding buildings as sought by Overall Outcome dd);
• it would not result in any adverse impacts to the visual amenity of
  surrounding premises in accordance with Overall Outcome a) iii given that
  it would remain a low-rise building that is compliant with setback provisions;
  and
• it would result in a building scale that remains compatible with the
  surrounding buildings, including:
  o 8 Thomas Street, which has a site cover of approximately 67% (409m2);
  o 203 Gmypie Terrace, which has a site cover of approximately 55%; and
  o 10 Thomas Street, which has a site cover of approximately 70% (458m2)

Issue

The proposal plans do not indicate the tenancy location and GFA of each of
the proposed uses, being Entertainment and Dining Business Type 1 Food and
Beverages and Retail Business Type 2 Shop & Salon.

Information Required


2.       Provide updated proposal plans clarifying the tenancy location and
         GFA of each of the proposed use types.
Response

The uses and floor areas of the tenancies will be as follows:

     •    Lot 1a – Restaurant

Tenancy                Use            Floor Area
Lot 1a                 Restaurant     Total floor area of 36.8m2
                                      (including 10m2 kitchen)
Lot 1b                 Shop           Total floor area of 33.75m2
Lot 1c                 Restaurant     Total floor area of 35.6m2
                                      (including 8m2 kitchen)
Lot 2                  Shop           Total floor area of 76.5m2
Lot 3                  Shop           Total floor area of 99m2

While the above uses are proposed within the tenancies, it is sought that the
approval allow flexibility so that either a shop are a restaurant could be
established within any of the tenancies in the future without the need for a
further change application.

Issue

The submitted Existing Ground Floor Plan (15.0319.1.1) does not appear to be
consistent with existing on site buildings and structures, particularly in relation
to carpark spaces 8 and 9. A refuse storage area is currently located in the
south eastern corner of the lot, where proposed carpark 8 is marked on the
plan, and carpark 9 appears to be located partially within an enclosed

structure.

Information Required


3.      Clarify and/or update proposal plans as necessary, including proposed
        location for the refuse storage area and details of the structure located
        over carpark 9.


Response

Bins

The bin enclosure that is currently located on site was constructed without an
approval and occupies the position of a car space 8. It is intended that this
will be removed and car space 8 will be reinstated. As the original approval
did not nominate an area for bin storage, bin enclosures have been identified
at the rear of the building to ensure that appropriate storage areas are
provided. This will allow for a significant improvement to the current approved
circumstance.

Car space 9

A tenant has gated a portion of space where car space 9 is identified and is
using the space for storage. It is intended that these gates will be removed
and the area will be cleared and reinstated for the purpose of a car space.

Issue

Carpark spaces appear not to be in compliance with Australian Standard (AS
2890.1) in relation to setback from the southern side wall, which should be
setback a minimum of 1.0 metre from the wall. Also, the two spaces are
constrained in relation to car manoeuvring in and out of the parking spaces.

Information Required

4.       Provide an updated plan to confirm compliance with the standard
         and provide a car turning template to demonstrate adequate turning
         area is available for a standard passenger car (B99) to enter and exit
         the space in three movements without conflict with the car occupying
         the opposite space.

Response

The original approval identified car spaces 8 and 9 in these positions. As these
spaces are constrained by their proximity to the southern boundary these will
be made staff parking spaces to ensure that new visitors do not use these.
Council’s engineering officer agreed to this approach.

Issue

The manoeuvring area for the proposed MRV loading bay is unclear. It is
noted a loading bay is not required for these use types under The Noosa Plan.

Information Required

Provide a turning template for the manoeuvring of the MRV in and out of the
loading bay. It is considered very likely the MRV turning area will occupy
additional area into the carparking of the adjoining site to the north that
expands beyond the existing registered access marked as easement EMT D. It
is considered that approving the proposed MRV loading bay will require
modification and enlargement of the existing registered easement EMT D.

Response

The MRV space has been removed given that it is not required for these uses.
Given the small sizes of the tenancies, it is unlikely that the tenancies would
need to be serviced by MRV’s. Where needed on any rare occasions, there is
a loading bay in front of the site within the road reserve that could be used.

Issue

The New Ground Floor Plan (15.0319.1.3) indicates an awning and artificial turf
are to be located within the existing easement. In addition, the artificial turf is
located in proximity to a stormwater system.


Information Required

6.      Provide updated plans that do not contain any buildings or structures
        within the easement. Alternatively, provide written agreement from the
        benefited party allowing the turf and awning to be located within the
        easement.

7.      Should written agreement be provided, provide evidence that the
        artificial turf will not adversely interfere with the use of the easement for
        access, drainage and the stormwater system.

Response

The offending awning and artificial turf have been removed.
