  RECOMMENDATION
  That Council note the report by the Property Advisor to the Services & Organisation Committee

                           event bookings to 21 July 2017.
  B.                       Advise Noosa Waterfront Restaurant that, should it seek ongoing access to the reserve land
                           for commercial purposes, it should make a submission to the upcoming Noosaville Foreshore

  C.                       Further consider longer-term tenure associated with the Noosa Waterfront Restaurant’s use
                           of the reserve land where it is recommended in the final adopted Noosaville Foreshore Land
                           Use Master Plan.


  REPORT
  Request Details
  Council has received a request from Noosa Waterfront Restaurant to approve a series of event
  permits for the restaurant to hold functions on public parkland adjacent to the restaurant.
  The request (included as Attachment 1) indicates the current restaurant lessee mistakenly
  believed it had the right to use the public park area due to a condition in its Liquor Licence. The
  licence issued by the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (included as Attachment 2) states
  the address and real property description of the premises and further describes the licenced area
  as follows:

Licensed Area Description:                    Restaurant including kitchen situated at 142 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville including
                                              an adjoining defined outdoor terrace dining area having overall measurements of
                                              16 metres x 6.3 metres.
