2.1. Background
A Material Change of Use was approved in 2015 (MCU14/0102) over Lot 1 & 2 SP294726 for a
mixed use development as follows:
   Service station
   Convenience store
   Restaurant
   Retail, industrial and warehouse type uses
   Associated car parking and signage.
The site was developed in 2016 and all tenancies have since been filled. At the time, the original
application was publicly notified, 14 properly made submissions were received (1 objection and
13 in support). The objection was primarily concerned with car parking, traffic generation, fuel
storage and the financial viability of existing food outlets.
Changes to this approval are detailed as follows:
MCU14/0102.01 - On 24 September 2015 Council approved a change to the approval which
primarily consisted of including a vehicle drive through to the rear of the food outlet and minor
changes to floor areas and car parking.
MCU14/0102.02 - On 23 October 2015, Council approved a change to the approval to remove
Retail Business Type 6 – Hardware Store from the Material Change of Use approval.
MCU14/0102.03 - On 14 March 2016, Council approved a change to the approval for minor built
form alterations to the entertainment and dining business use and to relocate one pylon sign from
Walter Hay Drive to Eumundi Noosa Road and change approval to locate 3 illuminated signs
facing Eumundi Noosa Road.
MCU14/0102.04 - On 26 August 2016, Council approved a Material Change of Use to include a
showroom within the commercial complex.
MCU14/0102.05 – On 21 March 2017, Council approved a request to make a change to the
existing approval, to include Retail Type 6 Hardware affecting Shop 1 & 2.
MCU14/0102.06 – On 12 July 2017, Council approved a request to make a change to the
existing approval, to include additional floor area of 67m2 constructed as a mezzanine level within
the existing Trade Tools tenancy.
The current approval (MCU14/0102 & OPW15/0051) allows for 2 illuminated pylon signs with a
maximum height of 5 metres on the Eumundi Noosa Road frontage and smaller one (not
illuminated) on the Lionel Donovan frontage. These signs are existing.
The applications discussed in this report relate only to Lot 2 SP294726 as shown in Figure 4 –
Subject lot for this application.
Council’s compliance officer attended the site on 9 August 2017, after a truck was noticed
carrying a large pylon sign on the Walter Hay Drive frontage of the subject site. At that time that
there was no permit to undertake any work on the road reserve and no planning approval for
Operational Works - Signage. Upon the advice of the Council officer, the truck then left the site.
Sign mount and fixtures (for the future desired sign) are existing and it is not clear when these
were constructed however may have been constructed at the time the site was developed.
