        of locals and visitors”.
    •   “initiatives are designed to increase the cost and/or reduce the attractiveness of travelling by car
        compared to sustainable transport modes”.
    •   “Noosa Council seeks to actively commit to environmentally, socially and economically sustainable
        transport and be bold in this commitment”.
    •   “Noosa Council consider managing the supply of car parking rather than continuing the philosophy
        of supplying free parking in response to demand”.
    •   “it is important to resist the pressure to increase capacity for more card and more car parking. It is
        neither affordable nor practical to attempt to cater for all traffic during our busiest periods”.



6.4 Assessment Against Incoming CEO Report (16 June 2022)

The following extracts have been taken from the Incoming CEO Report June 2022, and are in support of the
proposed development and existing car parking arrangements:

    •   “Noosa Shire Council is recognised as ‘different by nature’ in managing the vehicle congestion, car
        parking and the movement of residents and visitors around the local government area.

    •   “The future of Noosa Shire Council, ‘Different by Nature’ can be categorises as: Sustainable, Future
        Focused”.

As demonstrated by the outcomes sought by the Noosa Plan 2020, Driveways and Parking Code, Noosa
Transport Strategy 2007-2027 and the Incoming CEO’s Report, sufficient car parking for the proposed hair
salon is provided.



7. Unapproved Uses

It must be noted that in Tenancy 2 a Health Care Service use is operational. The information available online
about this use reveals that there is a potential for an additional 17 clients plus staff to be on site at any one
time associated with this use. A search of Council’s Online Enterprise Mapping indicates that there is no
approval for this use on site.



8. Availability of Alternative Car Parking

9 car parking spaces are provided directly adjacent to Noosaville Central on Gibson Service Road as
illustrated in the Figure below. Therefore, in addition to the 27 spaces provided at Noosaville Central, the total
number of parking available for staff and clients is 36 spaces.

If the 9 spaces provided along Gibson Service Road are not to be utilised by the staff and clients of Noosaville
Central, who are they provided for. The availability of these additional car parking spaces are to be
considered for the proposed use.
