               EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
               This application seeks a development approval for Material change of use for a three-storey mixed
               use building comprising a Food and Drink outlet and Short term accommodation at 203 & 207
               Gympie Terrace, Noosaville. The entire site is contained within the Tourist Accommodation zone
               with both uses defined as consistent uses (code assessable development).
               The site has three street frontages, Thomas Street (western frontage), Gympie Terrace (northern
               frontage) and Albert Street (eastern frontage) and is 3,750m² in area.
               Food and drink outlets are proposed at ground level comprising a total of 699 square metres gross
               floor area (GFA) fronting Thomas Street and Gympie Terrace and two floors of Short-term
               accommodation units (12 units plus 4 dual key units, totalling 16 units) above ground level.
               The building includes a basement providing 57 carparking spaces for patrons and guests of the
               development. Vehicle entry to the site will be from Albert Street with exit via either Thomas or Albert
               Streets.
               The site is located within the Noosaville Local plan area. The Noosaville local plan code includes
               planning outcomes for the site whilst the Noosaville Framework and Character Plan designates
               the corner of Thomas and Gympie Terrace as a ‘key corner’. Of note is the requirement for Thomas
               Street and Gympie Terrace to be developed as ‘primary active street’ frontages.
               The proposed development seeks performance solutions to the Noosa Plan 2020 relating to
               maximum building height (in metres), two rooftop terraces, building setbacks, site cover and onsite
               carparking.
               Upon assessment, there is sufficient merit to recommend the application for approval which will
               still achieve the overall outcomes sought under the Tourist Accommodation zone and Noosaville
               local plan codes.
               Outstanding matters regarding onsite refuse management was not able to be fully resolved to the
               satisfaction of Council’s engineering officers and Waste Section. To appropriately resolve these
               matters, it is recommended that relevant conditions be applied to ensure on site servicing occurs
               on this site.




                                                                                                        Page 2 of 55

                           ATTACHMENT 2 – (MCU24/0074) – PLANNING OFFICER’S REPORT


               REPORT
               1.     PROPOSAL
               This application seeks a development approval for Material change of use for a three storey (plus
               rooftop terraces) mixed use building comprising Food and drink outlets and Short-term
               accommodation.
               At ground level (Figure 3) the proposal comprises four Food and Drink outlet tenancies 669m²
               gross floor area and 1 x Short-term accommodation unit located in the north-east corner of the site.
               The applicant has advised that the hours of operation for the Food and drink outlets will be in
               accordance with AO11.2 of the Business activities code, 6:00 AM till 10:00 PM seven days a week
               and midnight Friday and Saturday.
               The first-floor level of the building contains 6 x Short-term accommodation units (3 units will be
               dual key unit configuration).
               At the second floor the building contains 4 x Short-term accommodation units (2 of the units will be
               a dual key configuration). A combined total of 16 short-term accommodation units over the three
               floors.
               At the roof level the building will include two rooftop terraces each with private pools. The terrace
               areas are approximately 96 and 85 square metres each (see Figure 3). The rooftop terraces
               include 2 wooden pergola structures, 2.7 metres in height. The terraces are positioned well within
               the central area of the roof envelope and provide substantial setbacks to all street frontages.
               The building will include a large basement to accommodate 43 standard plus 2 tandem carparks,
               7 Motor bike spaces and 15 bicycle spaces (see Figure 3 - Basement and Ground level). There is
               also a number of storerooms for building services and end of trip facilities and 4 lifts to service the
               Short-term accommodation units and ground level. Additional parking areas are proposed
               adjacent to the southern side boundary and will accommodate an SRV, 3 additional Motorcycle
               spaces and 12 parking spaces (including 1 x PWD spaces).
               Vehicle entry and exit to the ground and basement level parking areas will be provided primarily
               from Albert Street. Access can also be obtained via Thomas Street via an existing easement. The
               access easement is located at the southwestern corner of the site and provides reciprocal access
               to the neighbouring property at 6 Thomas Street. The easement is to be retained as part of the
               redevelopment.
               Two existing crossovers fronting Gympie Terrace will be closed and reinstated, with an existing
               crossover on Albert Street to be repositioned toward the southern boundary to provide the primary
               vehicle access to the site. The closure and repositioning of crossovers results in 6 additional on-
               street carparking spaces and 8 motorcycle spaces.
               The entire site is subject to flooding. Any redevelopment requires habitable floor levels to be lifted
               to achieve a minimum flood immunity of 2.7AHD which is approximately 0.7 to 1.2 metres above
               the existing ground level. The proposed development’s maximum building height when measured
               from ground floor level of 2.7 AHD will be approximately 12.9 metres to the top of the roof terrace
               pergola's (approximately 13.9 metres from existing ground level). However, the predominant
               building height of the third storey roof and facia when viewed from street level is shown to be
               approximately 10.2 metres above the ground floor or approximately 11.5 metres from ground level.
               The site is contained within the Tourist Accommodation zone and the Noosaville Local plan. The
               Noosaville local plan code includes planning outcomes for the site and designates the site as a
               ‘key corner’ under the Noosaville Framework and Character Plan. Of note is the requirement for
               Thomas Street and a portion of Gympie Terrace to be developed as primary active street frontages.

               2.3. Site Description
               The site consists of two large lots comprising a total of 3,750m² in area. Thomas Street (45 metres)
               is the western frontage, Gympie Terrace (69 metres) northern frontage and Albert Street (64
               metres) the eastern frontage. A combined road frontage of 178 metres.
               203 Gympie Terrace (located at the corner of Thomas Street and Gympie Terrace) is the larger lot
               and contains predominantly single storey commercial developments consisting of Food and drink
               outlets, Office, Indoor sport and recreation, Health care and Shop uses.
               207 Gympie Terrace (located at the northeast corner of Gympie Terrace and Albert Steet) is vacant
               and was formerly used as a Service station and car wash. The site is contained on the Queensland
               Environmental Management Register and is recorded as a notifiable activity subject to hazardous
               contaminants. Being a former service station, the hazardous contaminants relate to hydrocarbons.
               A separate Material change of use (code assessment) will be required to be made to the Chief
               executive (SARA) which will require the Environmental Management Register to confirm that the
               premises is suitable for the proposed use in accordance with a site-specific suitability statement.
               At this time a site suitability statement has not been approved. A condition has been included within
               the recommendation which requires confirmation that a site suitability statement has been
               approved prior to granting any Operational works approval.
               The entire site and land to the northeast and southwest are contained within the Tourist
               accommodation zone and the Noosaville local plan area, see below Figure 7.
               Existing vegetation at the site comprise two mature Poincianas trees located at the corner of
               Thomas Street and Gympie Terrace. The trees are located just within the site and are intended to
               be retained to complement the existing adjacent Bottle Brush trees within the Thomas Street road
               reserve. Existing mature Melaleuca, Ficus and Eucalyptus vegetation is located at the northern
               and southeastern corners of the site and will be required to be removed as part of the
               redevelopment.




                                                                                                     Page 29 of 55

               Existing development surrounding the site comprises mixed use and residential developments
               ranging in building height from one to three storeys. Surrounding development is consistent with
               the predominant land use zoning of Tourist accommodation.
               3.      ASSESSMENT
               3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •    State Planning Policy;
               •    South East Queensland Regional Plan;
               •    Planning Regulation 2017;
               •    Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020)
               3.2. State and Other Statutory Instruments
               State Planning Policy
               Noosa Plan 2020 is generally consistent with the State Planning Policy July 2017 (SPP) and the
               SPP raises no further issues relevant to the proposed development.

               GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                                     17 MARCH 2025


               Shaping SEQ 2023 (South East Queensland Regional Plan)
               The site is located within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is consistent
               with the regional policies of the SEQ Regional Plan.
               Planning Regulation 2017
               The proposal is for urban activity within the Urban Footprint and is consistent with the assessment
               benchmarks contained in the Planning Regulation 2017 for the SEQ Region.
               The proposed development will be located over a site (207 Gympie Terrace) contained on the QLD
               Environmental Management Register (EMR). Section 21(3A) of the Planning Regulation
               prescribes the Chief Executive of DSDIP (i.e. SARA) as the assessment manager for development
               triggered by Schedule 10, Part 4, Division 1 (contaminated land). A separate application will be
               required to be made to SARA in order for a site suitability statement to be issued for the site
               confirming the site can be used for a sensitive land use.
               3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
               The subject site is in Noosaville and is zoned Tourist Accommodation. The proposed uses are
               identified as consistent uses within the zone and are required to follow a code assessable
               application process.
               The application must be assessed against each of the following codes to the extent they are
               relevant to the development:
               •    Noosaville Local plan code;
               •    Tourist accommodation zone code;
               •    Visitor Accommodation code;
               •    Business activities code;
               •    Land subject to acid sulphate soils overlay;
               •    Flood hazard overlay;
               •    Works code.
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments. The
               pertinent issues arising out of the assessment are discussed below:

               Noosaville local plan code
               The overall outcomes of the code recognise and reinforce the Noosaville waterfront location and
               character by encouraging high-quality, low-rise subtropical buildings and landscape design that
               promotes a casual outdoor lifestyle. Buildings are to have a strong relationship with the outdoors
               through the incorporation of natural materials verandas and glazing.
               The following sections from the overall outcomes, performance and acceptable outcomes are most
               relevant to the site and proposed development.
               e.    Development design and siting responds to the relatively flat topography of Noosaville by
                     creating visual interest and differentiation in built form through design and the application of:
                      i.   a range of textures, colours, styles and finishes;
                     ii.   a range of architectural elements within the context of a sub-tropical architectural
                           theme;
                    iii.   varied roof heights, that cumulatively make a positive contribution to an interesting
                           skyline;
                    iv.    varied setbacks which create opportunities for both landscaping and design variety;
                           and
                     v.    retention of mature trees and the provision of new landscaping which create attractive
                           spaces between buildings.

               (aa) Development in the Tourist Accommodation zone on Gympie Terrace provides a range of
                    well-designed entertainment and catering activities which may operate late at night and
                    include live music which creates a vibrant atmosphere
               (ab) Strong visual and pedestrian linkages to the Noosa River foreshore and surrounding areas
                    are protected.

               (ac) Noosa River foreshore adjacent to Gympie Terrace is retained as an important recreational
                    space for the local community and visitors. Development or operational works maintains it
                    as an idyllic place for passive recreation, walking, dog exercise and access to the Noosa
                    River including ferry stops.

               PO14 Development in a centre zone or Tourist Accommodation Zone fronting Gympie Terrace:
                 a) is sympathetic to the character, streetscape and built form of the locality;
                 b) contributes to the variety of low set and walk up building styles of various eras in the
                     streetscape;
                 c) creates vibrant and active streets and public spaces; and
                 d) provides integrated and functional car parking and access arrangements that do not
                     dominate the street.
               AO14 Development:
                   a) respects the layout, scale (including height and setback) and character of development on
                      adjoining sites;
                   b) includes detailing and articulation for horizontal emphasis including awnings, facia boards,
                      parapet walls and upper level verandahs or balconies;
                   c) provides a fine scale of built form;
                   d) provides     active   street   frontages    where     identified    as     primary       active
                      street frontage on Figure 7.2.4.4 (Noosaville Framework and Character plan) or Figure
                      7.2.4.5 (Noosa Business Centre Framework and Character plan) that incorporate
                      shopfronts, indoor/outdoor cafes and restaurants and other activities that are likely to foster
                      casual, social and business interaction for extended periods. Refer to Figure AP3-8A for
                      design outcomes for active streetscapes;
                   e) has building openings overlooking the street and addressing key corners as indicated
                      in Figure 7.2.4.4 (Noosaville Framework and Character plan) or Figure 7.2.4.5 (Noosa
                      Business Centre Framework and Character plan) and Figure AP3-7A; and
                   f)   includes the provision of landscaping, shaded seating and consistent and simple paving
                        materials on footpaths consistent with the character of its setting including where shown as
                        primary streetscape treatment area on Figure 7.2.4.4 (Noosaville Framework and
                        Character plan) or Figure 7.2.4.5 (Noosa Business Centre Framework and Character plan).
               Assessment
               Existing development surrounding and relevant to the development site is the Da’vos site at 201
               Gympie Terrace (the western side of Thomas Street) and the neighbouring Twin Quays Resort
               development to the southeast of the site. Both existing developments are three storeys in height
               with the Da’vos mixed use development containing a number of ground level tenancies setback
               closer to street frontages (approximately 2 – 4 metres) creating a more compact streetscape.
               A review of the approved plans for the Da’vos site indicates a maximum physical building height of
               12 metres ontop of an elevated ground floor level of approximately 1.35 metres. Therefore a total
               building height of 13.35 metres.
               The proposed development will comprise a slightly higher physical building at 12.9 metres and a
               total building height of approximately 13.9 metres above ground level.
               At ground level, the Food and Drink outlet tenancies will provide wide outdoor dining and terrace
               areas to both street frontages (approximately 8.0 metres wide) which is in keeping with the overall
               outcomes of the code to provide mixed use buildings which incorporate open and pedestrian
               friendly ground level spaces.



                                                                                                      Page 36 of 55

               The urban form and design respond to the flat topography of the site by creating visual interest
               using differentiation in building façades through a range of textures, colours and styles.
               A preliminary schedule of materials and finishes include a mix of external stone walls, screens,
               and operable screens to be constructed from either timber or aluminium battening in a natural
               colour tone. The ‘external timber structures’ relate to the rooftop terrace pergolas which are
               intended to be constructed from recycle hardwood (below).




               The design of the ‘corner site’ includes the ground level food and drink tenancies and external
               seating which is setback from site frontages and addresses both Thomas Street and Gympie
               Terrace which support an active streetscape outcome (Figure 10).
               While the uppermost roof form presents as a more horizontal profile the most recent plans include
               a number of recesses along the facia to Gympie Terrace which will assist with providing a degree
               of articulation when viewed from ground level.

               The design of the building facade elevation breaks the building form into what appears as three
               separate smaller buildings. Figure 11 shows the ground-level Food and Drink outlets terraces
               which incorporate retractable awnings to promote a subtropical ground-level environment and
               articulated elevation to Gympie Terrace.
               As shown at Figure 10 the corner site design treatment will include pedestrian stairs to assist with
               permeability from the footpath to the ground floor level. The ground-level pedestrian mobility
               pathways also aligns with the revised draft Noosaville Foreshore Infrastructure Master Plan which
               encourages the corner of Gympie Terrace and Thomas Street as a pedestrian link north to the
               waterfront. Ramp and persons with disability access has been included to the Gympie Terrace
               and Thomas street frontages (Figure 12 - yellow highlight). The ramps have been located behind
               landscaped areas to reduce the visual impact on streetscape.

               Gympie Terrace and Thomas Street combined will contain approximately 70 lineal metres of ‘active
               frontages’ which is in accordance with the local plan code and will integrate with the existing shops
               and other dining areas to the west and south of Thomas Street.
               A portion of the proposed building at the south-west corner of the site will be setback closer to
               Thomas Street at 3.5 metres. The reduced setback for this portion of the building frontage is
               appropriate, as it transitions the setbacks of the existing development within Thomas Street which
               contains no setback to the site frontage.
               It is agreed that the proposed development mix of uses, extent of ground level active frontages,
               and integration with existing surrounding development presents a building form in accordance with
               the overall outcomes intended under the Noosaville local plan code.
               Tourist accommodation zone code
               The planning scheme outcomes seek to retain the zone for tourist related developments which
               include Short-term accommodation and Food and drink outlets, the proposed development aligns
               with this objective.
               Proportion of Non-residential uses
               In accordance with AO5 non-residential activity is to be no more than 20% of the total site GFA.
               The total GFA for the site is 2,995m² and therefore 599m² (20%) of the GFA is stated as a maximum
               non-residential use. The Food and drink outlets are 699m² GFA or 23% of the site GFA and
               requires assessment against PO5 of the zone code.
               PO5    Development         is      predominantly      of    a     residential   nature    to
               accommodate visitors with ancillary uses limited to Gympie Terrace, Thomas Street and Weyba
               Road.
               Assessment
               The site’s non-residential component complies with the Noosaville Local Plan code being located
               on Thomas Street and Gympie Terrace and involves 4 tenancies.
               Noting the size and scale of the site the proposed development does not compromise the
               opportunity to provide meaningful residential density as evidenced by the development of 16 short-
               term accommodation dwelling units. The units provide a flexible range of accommodation units
               from 1 – 4 bedrooms.
               Furthermore, all the Food and Drink outlets comprise ‘kitchen’ areas which are included within the
               definition of GFA. The publicly accessible areas of the Food and Drink outlets GFA comprise the
               areas of internal dining which is 446m² or 15% of total site GFA.
               The building will present predominately as a Short-term accommodation development with two
               levels above ground floor covering the ground floor Food and Drink outlets.
               The development is considered to comply with PO5.
               Building Height
               AO9.1 Buildings and other structures have a building height of no more than:
                          b) Noosaville and Sunshine Beach – building height of no more than 12 metres;
               The proposed development exceeds 12 metres building height above ground level and therefore
               falls to PO9 for assessment.
               PO9 Buildings and other structures:

                   a) are low rise and present a building height consistent with structures on adjoining and
                      surrounding premises;


                                                                                                     Page 39 of 55

                   b) do not visually dominate the street or surrounding areas;
                   c) preserve the amenity of surrounding premises including privacy, views and access to
                      sunlight;
                   d) respect the scale of any nearby vegetation, retaining a vegetated skyline;
                   e) respond to the topography of the site;
                   f)   have a maximum building height of:
                             a. Noosaville - three storeys and appear no more than three storeys from any
                                elevation;
               Assessment
               Ground levels around the site vary from approximately RL1.5 along Albert Street increasing to RL
               1.7 fronting Gympie Terrace and Thomas Street. The entire site is subject to flooding from the
               Noosa River and therefore new development is required to achieve a minimum flood immunity floor
               level of 2.7 AHD, approximately 0.7 to 1.2 metres above ground level (see Figure 12).
               Council’s information request raised concerns that the total overall height of the building when
               accommodating flood floor levels and measured from ground level exceeded 12.0 metres and
               requested the height be reduced.
               The Applicant submits the proposed development is an appropriate height in metres for the
               following reasons:
               The proposal has been amended to present as 3 storeys and a rooftop terrace with a roof over the
               stairwell only. The proposed rooftop terraces are substantially smaller than the previous design
               and accessible from the large 4-bedroom penthouse units 2-02 & 2-03 only.
               No other access is provided to these terraces and are directed towards the river. No noise nuisance
               is expected from these private terraces and an acoustic assessment is not required because they
               are not available for communal use.
               A lightweight open timber pergola is proposed on the roof terrace, which does not constitute a roof
               or level. The plans also demonstrate the finished ground levels around the edges of the building
               and measured from the finished.

                Figure 13 – Building height comparison from natural ground (red line - left) and from FFL 2.7 AHD (red line –
                                                      right) Gympie Terrace section

               The Applicant’s response to this matter has involved numerous design amendments including
               reducing the number of roof top terraces from 6 to 2 and use of sympathetic building materials
               involving recycled timber for construction of the roof top terrace pergolas.
               Figure 12 indicates two red line measurements of 12 metres building height measured from ground
               level and from the flood level of 2.7 AHD. Importantly, the three storeys will be contained within a
               maximum 12 metre height when measured from ground level or flood level (Figure 13 - red lines).
               It is acknowledged that as part of the applicant’s response to Councils Information request
               substantial amendments were made to the roof volume by reducing the number of roof top terraces
               (from 6 to 2) and removal of communal facilities which reduced the bulk of the roof and maximum
               height from RL 16.9 to 15.6.
               PO9 of the code requires that building height is consistent with structures on adjoining and
               surrounding premises and do not visually dominate the street or surrounding area. Existing
               development to the east, south and west of the site contain buildings which are three storeys in
               height.
               The building is setback 9.3 metres from the southern side boundary which will ensure
               overshadowing does not occur to the adjoining residential resort property (Twin Quays/ 9 Albert
               Street).
               It is agreed that due to site flooding an allowance should be made to consider building height above
               12 metres from ground level. Building floor-to-ceiling heights are an appropriate height with


                                                                                                              Page 41 of 55

               elevations indicating a ground level height of 3.6 metres with the remaining upper two floors being
               3.3 metres each.
               The ground level landscape design to all street frontages include a minimum 1.0 metre landscape
               buffer therefore minimising the visual prominence of the ground-level being viewed as an ‘elevated’
               ground-level of approximately 1.2 metres.
               The additional height is supported as the building presents as three storeys, is located on lots with
               three street frontages, is subject to site flooding and is not located within close proximity to adjacent
               premises.
               Roof Top Terrace
               AO20.2 of the Tourist Accommodation Zone code states that development does not include roof
               top terraces.
               The Applicant proposes two rooftop terraces of approximately 96 and 85 square metres
               respectively with private pools to each. Access to the terraces will be from the second level, Units
               2-02 and 2-03 and are setback approximately 14 metres from Gympie Terrace, 17 metres from
               Albert Street and 18 metres from Thomas Street.
               Assessment
               PO20 of the code aims to ensure that roof form contribute positively to the local skyline and avoids
               boxy profiles and parapets. The roof top terrace areas will be partially located within the roof void
               which provides a degree of enclosure, particularly to the southern, eastern and western frontages.
               The two rooftop terraces also contain pergola structures which are 2.7 metres in height (see Figure
               4 – Elevations and Figure 12 - top right of image) which while visually permeable in construction,
               contribute to the overall building height. While the applicant has setback the terraces from all
               frontages, they are likely to be noticeable from the surrounding areas and it is recommended
               amendments are made to the plans and elevations to:
               •   reduce the height of the pergola's from 2.7 to 2.2 metres to be consistent with surrounding
                   roof top terrace heights (i.e. existing Da’vos roof top pergola height, 2.2 metres);
               •   reduce the height of the dividing walls surrounding the terrace areas from 1.8 to 1.2 metres;
               •   remove connecting walls between the terrace areas; and
               •   reduce the area and height of the roof over the stairs accessing the roof terraces.
               It is also recommended that a condition is included to ensure that the pergolas are not roofed.
               The above listed amendments will reduce the visual perception of building structures at the roof
               level.
               Setbacks
               Building setbacks for the site are required to be in accordance with AO13 and PO13 of the Tourist
               accommodation zone code as highted below.
               AO13.1 Properties fronting 185-207 Gympie Terrace, 235-257 Gympie Tce or properties facing
               Thomas Street where a mixed use building incorporating a non-residential use:

                   a) 6 metres from the front boundary for up to two storeys provided that
                      this setback area may contain ramps, stairs, open awnings and unenclosed outdoor
                      dining areas;
                   b) 8 metres from the front boundary for the third storey;
                   c) 6 metres from the rear boundary for up to two storeys;
                   d) 8 metres from the rear boundary for the third storey; and

                   e) From a side boundary where adjoining a mixed use building:
                            I. 0 metres up to 7.5 metres height; and
                           II. 2 metres plus 500 milimetres for every 3 metres or part thereof above 7.5 metres
                               height.
                   f)   From a side boundary where not adjoining a mixed use building:
                            I. 1.5 metres setback up to 4.5 metres height;
                           II. 2 metres setback between 4.5 metres - 7.5 metres height; and
                          III. 2 metres plus 500 milimetres for every 3 metres or part thereof above 7.5 metres
                               height.
               Development fronting all street frontages is required to be setback 6 metres at ground and first
               floor and 8 metres at the second floor. The proposed development does not comply with these
               acceptable outcome setbacks and therefore falls to PO13 for performance assessment.
               PO13
               Buildings and other structures are designed and sited to:
                   a) provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and adjoining premises,
                      including provision of visual and acoustic privacy;
                   b) not unreasonably obstruct views or cause overlooking of private open space or habitable
                      areas of adjoining premises;
                   c) provide adequate distance from adjoining land uses;
                   d) preserve existing vegetation that will help buffer development;
                   e) allow for space and landscaping to be provided between buildings including adequate area
                      at ground level for landscaping with trees, shrubs, outdoor living and utilities;
                   f)   be consistent with the predominant character of the surrounding area, maintaining the
                        visual continuity and pattern of buildings and landscape elements within the street; and
                   g) protect the natural character and avoid adverse impacts on ecologically important
                      areas such as the beach, Noosa River, national parks and other parklands.
               Assessment
               The design has been amended on several occasions to ensure that building setbacks to Thomas
               Street and Gympie Terrace reflect the development outcomes anticipated under both the Tourist
               accommodation zone code and Noosaville local plan code. The following information highlights the
               proposed building setbacks for both street frontages.
               Thomas Street setbacks
               At ground-level the proposed design incorporates a 3.5 to 9 metre setback range to the glazing
               line of the Food and Drink outlets increasing to 5 – 6 metres at the first floor to the contained planter
               and minimum 6 metres to the second floor. Therefore for this frontage the ground level and first
               floor do not comply with the minimum setback of 6 metres stipulated in the acceptable outcome.
               The Noosaville Framework and Character plan shows Thomas Street as a ‘key view’, looking north
               to the Noosa River. The proposed Thomas Street corner involving Tenancies 2 and 3 achieve the
               required 6 metres to ensure that the building bulk at the corner enables a compliant setback
               towards the foreshore when approaching the Thomas Street corner from the south.
               Gympie Terrace setback
               At ground level the proposed design incorporates a 10 metre setback to the glazing line and at 5
               metre setback to the first floor (contained planter) and increasing to 6 metres at the second floor

                                                                                                        Page 43 of 55

               (contained planter). Therefore, for this frontage the second and third floors do not comply with
               acceptable outcome setbacks and requires performance assessment against the PO13.
               The proposed setbacks to Gympie Terrace provide an appropriate built form and setback which
               includes ground-level landscaping and an active frontage as required under the Noosaville
               framework and character plan. The proposed setbacks do not unreasonably obstruct views or
               cause overlooking of private open spaces to adjoining premises and are supported.
               Albert Street setback
               At ground level the proposed design incorporates a 5-metre setback at first and second floor
               increasing to 8 metres at the second floor.
               The applicant submits that setbacks are appropriate for the following reasons;
               The setbacks have substantially increased with the revised design, with a 5m setback along
               Gympie Terrace to the edge of the concrete planter beds and 6m to the balcony.
               The Level-2 setback is 8m to the balcony and roof line, with planters creating a soft landscape
               edge to the balconies, as well as providing a ‘green-roof’ covering for the Level-1 terraces below.
               The setbacks are considerably larger and more compliant with the Acceptable and Performance
               Outcomes - consistent with the character, pattern and landscape character along this important
               part of the Noosa River frontage.
               The site adjoins one residential ‘resort’ property at 9 Albert Street ‘Twin Quays’. The closest units
               within this site contain two balconies, a 4m² rear balcony and a larger 12m² balcony fronting Albert
               Street. The larger 12m² balcony appear to have partial view lines towards the north and the Noosa
               River foreshore. Aerial photography of the premises also shows two rooftop terraces, above the
               third level, setback approximately 20 metres from Albert Street.
               The proposed development includes 5.0 metre and 8.0 metre building setback along Albert Street
               and 9.3 metre southern setback to the Twin Quays boundary. It is likely that the existing partial
               views to the north and northeast (mainly resulting from the Albert Street road reserve width) relating
               to the larger 12m² balcony for each unit will be maintained. View lines from the smaller, 4 m² rear
               balconies and the roof top terraces are likely to be impacted by the proposed development. It is
               noted that the proposed development is a code assessable, consistent use in the Tourist
               accommodation zone and proposes development areas within the site generally in accordance
               with the planning scheme.
               On 22 January 2025 an email was received from a representative of the Twin Quays resort notifying
               Council of their objection to on-site waste removal due to the potential of creating unnecessary
               noise pollution at early hours of the morning. In response to this concern it is noted that Noosa
               Plan 2020 requires that waste generated from a development is managed and appropriately
               serviced on site. The site is large in area, has substantial frontages to three streets and therefore
               is a reasonable requirement.
               No issues were raised in their correspondence in respect of views and or proximity of the
               development proposal.
               Site cover
               PO11 The maximum site cover does not exceed:
                   a) 45% in the Hastings Street mixed use precinct ; or
                   b) 45% where a mixed use development incorporating non-residential uses
                      with frontage to:
                             a. 185-207 Gympie Terrace or, 235-257 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville; or
                             b. Thomas St, Noosaville; or
                             c. Duke Street, Sunshine Beach; or

                   c) 40% where not listed above.
               The proposed development results in a site coverage of approximately 2,054m² or 53% which
               exceeds permitted site coverage stated under the performance outcome. Assessment of the
               proposed site coverage falls to the overall outcomes. Relevant overall outcomes include:
               The overall outcomes sought for the Tourist accommodation zone are as follows:

                   •    Development provides for a mix of medium to high density visitor accommodation in the
                        form of resorts, hotels and short-term accommodation such as hostels and self-contained
                        holiday units.

               Assessment
               The applicant submits the site coverage is acceptable for the following justifications:
               Considering the significantly large road frontages on three sides, the building has been designed
               to include a large setback to the southern boundary (the only adjoining development). The
               significant separation gives an open feeling to the rear of the building and space for car parking
               away from the street, deliveries and waste collection. A wide soft landscaped garden is provided
               adjoining the neighbouring residential use. As a result, the design does not present or appear bulky
               from adjacent properties.
               The building is orientated towards Gympie Terrace and Thomas Street consistent with existing
               development and the Local Plan code. The design includes large, roofed breezeways and awnings
               which contribute to site cover, however in reality provide an open built form and a fine grain
               outcome required by the Codes. Generous residential balconies above the ground level provide
               openness to the 3 street facing elevations softening the building and offsetting the additional site
               coverage.
               The application has been substantially amended to include greater setbacks and integration with
               the streetscape. Full details of the design are included below and demonstrate compliance with
               carparking, gross floor area, height in storeys and landscaping….

               GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                                 17 MARCH 2025


               The proposed mixed use building incorporates an articulated building form across the length of all
               street frontages (178 metres) which presents as five separate smaller buildings and includes four,
               3.3 metre wide physical breaks within the facades to vary the streetscape when viewed from
               ground level.
               It is agreed that the streetscape presentation to Gympie Terrace and Thomas Street will provide
               an outcome sought under the Local plan code by creating an activated street which presents as
               three storeys while identifying a key corner building form with articulated screening involving a
               range of building materials and finishes. The building includes an interesting building form in
               elevation from all streets and will not present as an overbearing development.
               The closest neighbouring developments along the southern side boundary involve a three storey
               resort complex and single storey commercial premises. The proposed site layout includes a
               significant rear set back to existing development of approximately 9.3 metres, which separates the
               building to ensure overlooking and overshadowing does not occur.
               It is also noted that existing development to the western side of Thomas St (Da’vos) involves a
               three storey mixed use building which exceeds 55% site coverage. This building extends down a
               greater length of the western side of Thomas Street which establishes a streetscape character
               which is more ‘urban’ and compact when compared to the proposed development which
               accommodates significantly increased ground level building setbacks reflected in the Noosaville
               local area plan code.
               The proposed development is considered to comply with the overall outcomes of the Tourist
               accommodation zone because it facilitates human scale development, adopts outcomes required
               by the local plan code and is three storeys in height. The development is setback from existing
               neighbouring development and manages residential amenity by ensuring no overlooking or
               overshadowing can occur and positions proposed rooftop terraces towards the northern half of the
               site away from neighbouring properties.
               Business activities code
               The code encourages business activities to develop in a manner consistent with the Noosa Shire
               centre hierarchy. Notably building design and siting requires a minimum ground floor ceiling height
               of 3.5 metres and outdoor dining areas to provide a minimum 2.1 metre height clearance, located
               away from sensitive land uses and orientated towards the street.
               Assessment
               The proposed Food and drink Outlets are consistent with the above parameters and are positioned
               within the site in accordance with the Noosaville local plan code ‘active frontages’ to Gympie
               Terrace and Thomas Street. Information submitted by the applicant indicates that the Food and
               drink outlets will not involve live or amplified music.
               PO11 – PO14 of the code requires the use or activity to be operated in a manner which minimises
               nuisance to surrounding sensitive land uses. The Food and drink outlets are intended to be
               operated in accordance with AO11.2 which for the Tourist accommodation zone allows for trading
               times between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM Sunday to Thursday and until 12:00 midnight on a Friday
               and Saturday.
               PO15 and AO15 requires that waste storage areas are located within basements and are visually
               screened. Information from the applicant regarding refuse management has not been fully
               resolved, however conditions have been included which will require amended waste management
               plans to be prepared to the satisfaction of the Coordinator Waste to ensure that refuse storage and
               collection can be appropriately managed on site.
               In accordance with PO16 and AO16 the proposed development provides adequate on site and on
               street carparking provision for future customers of the Food and drink outlets. Conditions have

               been included which will ensure that these areas are made available to customers. The site also
               includes provision for an MRV space for commercial deliveries.
               Additional information is proposed to be conditioned regarding waste management and servicing
               within the site, this is discussed further below.
               Works Code - Driveways and parking code
               Assessment
               57 car spaces are provided within the basement and ground floor level as a total and is not divided
               between the Food and Drink outlet and Short-term accommodation uses. The proposal has not
               specifically designated car parking for the accommodation use, a condition is recommended
               requiring the required 29 car parking spaces to be designated for this purpose.
               Based on the remaining 28 parking spaces, the Food and drink outlet requirement of 34 car parking
               (less 3 carparks in lieu) is specified in the Noosa Plan 2020 resulting in a shortfall of 6 onsite car
               parking spaces and 3 motorcycle spaces.
               The applicant submits the removal of existing driveway crossovers to Gympie Terrace (2
               crossovers) and a repositioned driveway on Albert Street, results in additional on street parking
               which justifies the shortfall.
               There is currently 3 on street parking spaces on Gympie Terrace and no designated on street
               spaces within Albert Street. The ground level plan of the proposed development shows a total of 6
               on street parks fronting Gympie Terrace and 6 on street parks fronting Albert Street and an
               additional 8 motorcycle spaces. Therefore, creating a net increase of 6 on street parking spaces
               and 8 motorcycle spaces.
               It is agreed that the closure and repositioning of crossovers along Gympie Terrace and Albert
               Street will provide additional on street car parking spaces to increase the total overall parking to a
               sufficient provision in accordance with the planning scheme which directly fronts the development
               site.
               Waste management code
               Historically the collection of waste from the site has occurred from Thomas Street (on street) using
               several 240 litre bins. It is understood this occurs daily. This collection method has been relevant
               to the existing smaller scale development within the 203 Gympie Terrace site first established in
               the 1970s. The Noosa plan 2020 Works Code / Waste Management Code requires that:
               AO1.2 Adequate area is provided on-site for the collection and separate storage of recyclable,
               non-recyclable, vegetative and hazardous materials in their specific waste streams during
               construction or demolition works and the operational phase of development.
               As part of this current application the applicant submits that on street collection is still appropriate
               for the following reasons;
               The proposed development shall have waste collected directly from the kerb along Thomas Street
               for commercial tenancies and along Albert Street for the residential collection as shown in Figures
               5a and 5b, consistent with the current servicing strategy. This approach is adopted for several
               reasons:
               1. Safety Concerns: Internal waste collection would require a 12.5m rigid vehicle to navigate
               heavily pedestrianized zones within the development. This presents significant safety risks to
               residents, visitors, and pedestrians.
               2. Noise Concerns: Waste collection within the internal driveways would generate noise
               disturbances for nearby residents. There have already been noise complaints from adjacent
               property managers regarding this proposal, reinforcing the need for kerbside collection.

               3. Consistency with Adjacent Developments: All neighbouring developments have kerbside waste
               collection. Aligning with this practice ensures consistency and operational efficiency. Additionally,
               an adjacent loading zone can be utilized during collection to prevent traffic congestion or
               disruptions.
               4. Existing Easement dedications: To service the development internally, the vehicles would have
               to cross multiple easements which were created to provide access to the commercial tenancies to
               the south for the proposed development. These include cafes and restaurants, many of which
               operate from early hours. It is preferred not to have trafficability issues and potential congestion
               due to truck movements adjacent these properties.
               5. This servicing strategy reduces the number of waste and recycling bins collected along Thomas
               Street compared to the current scenario. By integrating with the revised civil design, it enhances
               service efficiency, minimizes street clutter, and improves overall safety.
               Assessment
               The Applicant has been advised on several occasions that on street refuse collection would not be
               supported as part of this ‘whole of site’ redevelopment and to confirm the way in which refuse was
               intended to be managed. A waste management strategy was submitted by the applicant on 13
               February 2025 which retains the current on street method.
               On going discussions and a meeting on 19 February 2025 with Council’s Waste department have
               concluded that there are concerns with on street collection for the following reasons;
                   •    A clear strategy for the source separation of waste streams, including cardboard, organic
                        waste, glass and any proposed source separation options had not been provided.
                   •    A revised waste servicing approach that minimised pedestrian and vehicular conflicts
                        should be developed. The drive thru and turn out of the site onto Thomas Street is
                        achievable and is a preferrable onsite strategy versus on street collection.
                   •    Kerbside waste servicing in a high-pedestrian flow area presents a significant risk due to
                        side-lift arm operations. A rear-lift vehicle service, performed on-site, would minimise public
                        interaction and operational hazards.
                   •    The proposed use of 240L–360L bins will result in a higher number of bins compared to an
                        1100L bulk bin system, also limiting recycling opportunities. Consideration should be given
                        to a bulk bin system for improved efficiency.
                   •    The drive thru of waste vehicles from Albert Street and turn out to Thomas Street is
                        achievable.

               Council’s Waste section and Infrastructure engineers have reviewed the proposal in detail and do
               not believe there is any substantive reason why on-site collection could not be achieved.
               Accordingly, the applicant’s proposition of retaining on street refuse collection is not supported.
               Relevant conditions, requiring amended plans and waste management report are included within
               the recommendation which require all waste to be collected on site in accordance with Noosa
               Plan 2020 and contemporary waste management practices.

               Flood Hazard overlay
               The entire site and surrounding area is contained within the Flood hazard overlay. The applicant
               submits that even though the site is contained within the overlay only a minor portion of the site is
               subject to a Q100 flood event as indicated below;
               The subject site is located adjacent to the Noosa River. Noosa Shire Council Intramaps indicates
               that the site is located above the current 1% AEP flood event, however Gympie Terrace and
               Thomas Street are subject to minor inundation during this event. A copy of Council’s flood mapping
               layer is shown below in Figure 4-1. No impacts to site access are envisioned as a result of this.

                                                                                                        Page 48 of 55

               Council has previously advised that a minimum finished floor level of RL 2.7m AHD is required for
               the site to provide flood immunity for future climate change and increased flooding associated with
               storm tides and sea level rises. The site currently has an average elevation of around 1.7m AHD.
               Therefore, the site will need to be filled by approximately 1m to achieve climate change
               requirements.
               Assessment
               The site is subject to inundation from the Noosa River of RL 2.4 AHD. New development is required
               to achieve a minimum finish floor level of RL 2.7 AHD. Plans and elevations of the proposed
               development reflect this floor level.
               Stormwater management
               The applicant has submitted a Site based stormwater management plan which indicates the
               installation of a 30m² bioretention system within the northeast corner of the site and a basin to the
               north west corner to treat and discharge stormwater. Development Engineering have reviewed
               the treatment design are in general agreement with the location of the above devices and proposed
               method of disposal.
               Noosa Plan 2020 – Amendment 2
               A review of the proposed amendments indicates that the site is intended to be rezoned from Tourist
               Accommodation to the District Centre and High Density Residential zones.
               Under the District centre zone level of assessment table, Short term accommodation uses are
               Impact and inconsistent development with preference to smaller longer term residential uses such
               as Dual Occupancy and Multiple dwellings. Further, the draft District Centre zone code removes
               performance or acceptable outcomes for site coverage. Other design parameters in relation to
               building height, number storeys and setbacks etc remain the same.
               While the application involves Short Term accommodation uses it is acknowledged the application
               was prepared prior to the public display of the planning scheme amendments however was formally
               lodged on 7 June 2024 shortly after the scheme amendments were publicly displayed. The
               proposed development involves accommodation facilities (1-to-4-bedroom units) which are self-
               contained and provide onsite car parking provision in accordance the rates currently required for
               short term accommodation.
               Draft Noosaville Foreshore Infrastructure Master plan
               The Noosaville foreshore is located directly to the north of the site. The draft masterplan shows
               the ‘Quota Park’ and ‘Boat ramp and Ely park’ precincts near to the site.
               The Quota Park precinct supports public recreational use of established green open spaces and
               support limited levels of low impact land use activities. Planning strategies include the
               improvement of connection between business areas and the foreshores and to prioritise safe and
               accessible pedestrian and cycle connections.
               The concept plan shows the existing intersection at Thomas Street and Gympie Terrace to be
               improved with pedestrian pathways from the intersection heading north to the foreshore
               recreational areas.
               The proposed development incorporates easy pedestrian connections to the pedestrian pathways
               shown in the NPM by including a number of pedestrian connections from the ground-level active
               frontages to Thomas Street and Gympie Terrace.

               GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                                  17 MARCH 2025


               4.2. Internal Council Referrals
               The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers for review and/or comment:
               •   Senior Development Engineer, Development Assessment
               Stormwater and Flooding
               The combined development area exceeds 2,500m2 and triggers water quality treatments under the
               SPP. The development includes a 30m2 bioretention basin and two proprietary devices to achieve
               the load reduction targets outlined in the SPP and the Water Quality and Drainage Code. The
               strategy is considered generally compliant with PO7 by incorporating natural processes and
               materials, where possible.
               The development is required to achieve a minimum habitable flood level of 2.70m AHD. This will
               require approximately 1m of fill across the site to achieve this flood level and flood immunity.
               Access and Parking
               Site ingress is to occur via a proposed 7.4m heavy duty vehicle crossover from Albert St with site
               egress to occur via an existing 6.5m heavy duty vehicle crossover onto Thomas St. The Thomas
               St crossover services the existing tenancies located on Lot 2 on RP138699 and adjoining tenancies
               on Lot 1 on RP161212.
               Insufficient information has been provided demonstrating how the proposed fill and additional
               vehicle movements will avoid disadvantaging the adjoining carpark on Lot 1 on RP161212. It is
               also unclear whether the terms and conditions of the existing easements (A, B, C & D) need to be
               amended. Conditions have been included which will require the applicant to submit additional
               technical reports and amendments to gain the necessary Operational works approval for access.
               The above matters will need to be considered in any revisions to technical reports for approval.
               The carparks and associated manoeuvring areas are generally sized in accordance with the
               corresponding User Class in accordance with AS2890.
               The Civil Plans demonstrate that service vehicles, including an SRV, MRV and a 12.5m HRV (i.e.,
               a waste collection vehicle), can circulate through the site. Contrary to the information provided by
               the applicant, the applicant has provided vehicle swept paths (prepared by RECOR) suggesting
               that Council’s 10.5m Side Loader Series V is unable to internally service the development. The
               matter of waste collection is further discussed below.
               Earthworks
               The development includes up to 4,300m3 of cut, 1,600m3 of fill and a balance of 2,700m3 of
               exported material. The earthworks will occur below 5m AHD and therefore trigger assessment
               against the SPP for Acid Sulfate Soils.
               As part of Council’s Request for Information (dated 8 July 2024), Council requested:
               •      a preliminary ASS investigation;

               As part of the applicant’s response dated 27 December 2024 and subsequent correspondence,
               the requested details have not been provided. Conditions have been included which will require
               the preparation of an Acid Sulphate management plan for approval by Council.
               Waste Manoeuvring
               The applicant has been unable to provide a Waste Management Plan that complies with the Waste
               Management Code and Planning Scheme Policy (PSP) 9 Waste Management. This matter has
               been raised numerous times by Council staff (including the Waste Branch).
               The vehicle swept paths provided by the applicants consultant suggest that on-site servicing is
               more than likely achievable subject to further detail (and potentially minor design amendments).

                                                                                                    Page 50 of 55

               GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                                  17 MARCH 2025


               •   Senior Environment Officer, Development Assessment
               The application material has included a landscape concept plan that meets the minimum landscape
               percentage required. Several existing Delonix regia within the road reserve and development site
               have been identified on the plans as being retained. Conditions requiring the protection of these
               trees through an arboricultural report at the time of operational works has been provided.
               Limited space has been provided to the southern boundary adjacent car parks 02-11. This buffer
               width should be no less than 2 metres wide, however the applicant proposes approximately
               600mm. As a result of this limited space no trees have been provided along this boundary.
               Conditions have been offered that require structural soil cells to be provided under the car park to
               create grow media / space for tress which have been conditioned 1 per 2 car spaces along this
               boundary.
               Street trees have been required at 1 tree per 8 metres of road. The species will have to be chosen
               from a small palette of trees suitable for use in close proximity to powerlines.
               Perimeter landscaping has been provided along Thomas Street, Gympie Terrace, and Albert Street
               at varying widths.
               •   Principal Strategic Planner, Strategic Planning
               Land use - the proposed land use ratio of commercial to residential slightly exceeds the 20%
               required by the Scheme. While the ratio exceeds the scheme, overall, the commercial component
               does not dominate the development and interfaces well with the commercial street front of the
               corner site and provides uses that service both residents and visitors. In addition, the draft
               amendments propose the site as District Centre – and increase in commercial is consistent. The
               ratio raises no concerns.
               Activated street front - the Noosaville Framework and Character plan shows active street front
               along Thomas St and Gympie Tce to Albert Street, both lots 2 and 7. The proposal activates
               (subject to flooding constraints and required setbacks) frontage of Lot 2 but not Lot 7. This raises
               no concerns as this location is adjacent to residential units along Gympie Tce and provides
               consistency in land use from the east and reduces potential commercial/residential conflicts in that
               direction. No activation east of lot 2 raises no concern. In addition, the proposed amendments also
               propose to remove the active frontage.
               Site cover/Built form - the setbacks and built form provide a key corner outcome with landscaping
               and activation (or addresses the street for the residential) considered to generally meet the
               planning scheme intent for the corner. In terms of site cover, the proposal is 53% while the scheme
               seeks 45%. This does not raise any significant concern as the building is well articulated and
               creates visual interest from the street. In addition, the proposed amendments remove the site cover
               provision on lot 2 as its proposed as District Centre zone.


               •      Coordinator - Infrastructure planning
               The open stepped access corner is a good outcome. The footpath extents along Gympie Terrace
               interface should be all hardstand pavement with street trees equally spaced along back of kerb
               and between parking bay to add scale and shade. These can be placed in grilles and of clear stem
               form to retain views from the food and beverage/retail out to the water.
               Conditions have been included which will require the full length of the Gympie Terrace and Thomas
               Street verges (back of kerb to property boundary) to be upgraded to provide an exposed aggregate
               finish which include street tree plantings, removal of redundant crossovers and reinstatement of
               kerb and channel. Existing mature tree species within the Thomas Street road reserves will also
               be required to be protected and retained.



                                                                                                    Page 51 of 55

               GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING REPORT                                                  17 MARCH 2025


               5.     HUMAN RIGHTS COMPATIBILITY STATEMENT
               In developing this Report, the subject matter has been considered in accordance with the
               requirements of the Queensland Human Rights Act 2019. It is considered that the subject matter
               does not conflict with any human rights and supports a human rights approach to decision making
               by Council. Council representatives will endeavour to act and make decisions under this report in
               a manner that is compatible with human rights. This report should be read in conjunction with
               Council’s Human Rights Policy.


               6.      CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions.
               This application seeks a material change of use for a Short term accommodation and Food and
               Drink outlets at 203 - 207 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville. The proposed uses are consistent uses
               under the Tourist accommodation zone.
               The design of the building and site layout is generally in accordance with the Noosaville Local plan
               code Framework and Character plan which requires active frontages to develop at the corner of
               Thomas Street and Gympie Terrace and a building form which is articulated, three storeys in height
               and address street frontages.
               Building height relating to the roof top terraces and the architectural presentation of the southern
               elevation raises some concerns. Amended plans will be requested to ensure roof top pergolas
               and terrace structures are reduced in height and bulk and that areas of blank walls provide
               additional design detail and articulation.
               Waste management for the proposal was not able to be resolved during the application
               assessment. While the applicant maintains that waste can be managed on site and collected on
               street, this was not supported by Council’s Waste Coordinator. Conditions have been included
               which will require amended plans and technical reports for approval to ensure that waste is stored
               and able to be collected on site.
               The application is recommended for approval subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
