5.1.2 Business Uses Code
The proposal has been assessed against the provisions of the Business Uses Code and generally
complies with the outcomes except in relation to the provision of bicycle space. A full comparison of
the proposal against the Code is included in Appendix C.


5.1.3 Landscaping Code

The Noosa Plan detailed that the Neighbourhood Centre zone is to provide 10% of the site for
landscaping. The development complies with this requirement.


5.1.4 Engineering Works Code

The proposed extension will connect into existing infrastructure servicing the site.

As detailed above the site has had a number of approvals issued and contributions paid towards
carparking. Council advice has confirmed that the previous rezoning approval (R274) provided for
5 carparking spaces on site and 12 spaces were acknowledged as being provided through a
combination of contributions and a coach setdown area for an area of 161m2 for a Restaurant and
100m2 for a General Store.

Carparking associated with the 1989 rezoning (R274) and planning approval (DNA 175) would have
been assessed under the 1985 Planning Scheme which detailed the following carparking rates:

            General Store: 5 spaces
            Restaurant: 1 space per 15m2 of part therefore of total use area

The current Noosa Plan details carparking rates for offices as below:

            Type 1 office - 1 space per 20m2, or part thereof, of use area; OR 1 space per 2
             employees whichever is the greater. A minimum of 4 spaces are provided

The existing approval over the site details an area of 261m2 with a credit of 17 spaces based on the
5 spaces on site and 12 spaces paid by contribution. Based on the change of use and current parking
rates the extension complies with carparking requirements attributable to the site.
