PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                              12 DECEMBER 2017


3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The application must be assessed against each of the following codes to the extent they are
relevant to the development:
   Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality Code
   Heritage Overlay
   Business Uses Code;
   Landscaping Code; and
   Engineering Works Codes
The site is included in the Business Centre zone and in the Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality
area in which a Type 1 Food & Beverages use is a consistent use which requires a Code
Assessable application.
A review of the proposal against the Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality Code, Heritage Overlay,
and Business Uses Code and against the provisions of the Landscaping and Engineering Works
codes has been undertaken and the proposal is considered to meet the relevant requirements.
Discussion of the pertinent issues is detailed below:
Car Parking
The site has previously been used for a service station, vehicle workshop and showroom. Based
on the current use of the site as showroom and a floor area of 560 square metres, a rate of 1
space/50m2 of use area provides the site with a credit of 11.2 spaces, a further 3 spaces are
available within the existing garages to the rear of the site providing for a credit of 14.2 spaces.
The applicant is also proposing to remove the existing layback, reinstate the kerb and footpath
and provide three additional car parking spaces to the frontage of the property.
Under the Noosa Plan 2006, assessment of car parking requirements for Type 1 Food &
Beverages in the Business Centre zone are undertaken in accordance with the following rate.
     1 space per 20m2, or part thereof, of use area and outdoor dining area (excluding kitchen
     and food storage areas) on the property.
Use area is defined as:
     use area means the sum of the area of the premises (exclusive of all walls and columns),
     including all storeys, used or intended for use for a particular purpose. The term excludes—
     a.    the areas (inclusive of all walls and columns) of any lift rooms, motor rooms, air
           conditioning or other mechanical or electrical plant or equipment rooms located at
           any topmost storey;
     b.    The areas of any staircases or liftwells;
     c.    The areas of any common foyer or arcade;
     d.    The areas of any public toilets; and
     e.    The areas used for the access, parking and associated manoeuvring of motor
           vehicles.
The proposal plans detail an internal area of 542m2. Of this area, 157m2 is to be used for the
restaurant, 30m2 is associated with the bakery whilst the toilets, office and coffee roasting area
comprise a further 50m2. The remaining areas on site are associated with the kitchen, food
storage and common foyer areas.
Figure 5 below details the use areas which have formed the basis of the car parking assessment.
