                                                                                     proposal report




7.0 Draft Noosa Plan

The Draft Noosa Plan includes the site in the Neighbourhood Centre zone which details that an
Office is an acceptable use in an existing building and code assessable where involving extensions
to the building or use.

The Draft Noosa Plan details an increased height of 10 metres for the zone and a Plot ratio of 0.8:1.
The proposal complies with these new requirements.

Carparking rates are detailed the same as the existing Planning Scheme at 1:20m2.


8.0     Conclusion

The above development application has been submitted to Noosa Council as the Assessment
Manager of the application under the Planning Act 2016. This application seeks a development
permit for Commercial Business Type 1 Office which is a consistent code assessable use under
the current Noosa Plan and the Draft Noosa Plan.

This application can be supported on a number of grounds as provided in detail in the above report.
These grounds include:
     The proposed use and extension is consistent with the intend of the Neighbourhood Centre
       zone
     The design of the building ensures that the building and uses are compatible with the
       surrounding area.
     The design updates the existing building on site and activates the frontage by new decks,
       glazing and openings.
     The site is well suited to the proposed development as updates and utilises an existing
       building on the site.
     There are sufficient planning grounds to support the approval of the development on the site.

The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is
therefore recommended.
