PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                    8 MARCH 2022


     1.    The proposed change does not constitute a minor change to the development
           approval as the change in hours will increase the severity of known amenity impacts
           and likely attract further submissions objecting to the change were the application to
           be publicly notified given the site’s proximity to residential properties.
     2.    The proposed trading hours do not comply with Overall Outcomes 2 (d) & (h) and
           Performance Outcome PO11 & PO24 of the Business Activities Code as the
           proposed hours will adversely impact on nearby resident’s amenity.
     3.    The proposed trading hours do not comply with Overall Outcome 2(m) and
           Performance Outcome PO42 of the District Centre Zone Code as the proposed
           change in hours will impact the amenity of nearby residential premises as nearby
           residents would not reasonably expect the service to be operational at this time.
     4.    The proposed illuminated signage does not comply with Specific Outcome AO7 and
           Overall Outcome O7 of the Advertising Devices Code within the Noosa Plan 2006 as
           it proposes more than one illuminated sign and is not compatible with the visual
           amenity of the surrounding area.
     5.    The proposed additional illuminated signage is not consistent with provisions of the
           Local Law signage requirements as the proposal exceeds the maximum number of
           signs permitted to be illuminated and is prohibited by the Local Law.
B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
