COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL


1    MCU21/0194 APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR ROADSIDE STALL
     AT 201 MARY RIVER ROAD, COOROY
     That Planning & Environment Committee Agenda Item 1 be referred to the General Committee
     for a further report which includes:
     A.    A set of conditions that would allow Council to approve those uses that can be lawfully
           conducted as a Roadside Stall on the grounds that:
           1.    It meets the Strategic Intent of the Planning scheme which supports rural tourism
                 and further acknowledging those aspects of the use are consistent with the aim to
                 facilitate: “The evolution of traditional agriculture and the emergence of new
                 sectors are supported by encouraging opportunities for value adding to occur
                 before agricultural produce leaves the farm gate or leaves the region” and staff be
                 requested to liaise with the applicant to ascertain their position.
           2.    The use contributes to the overall outcome 2 (h) of the Rural Zone that envisages
                 that “The establishment of outdoor recreation and small-scale tourism facilities in
                 suitable locations is facilitated in a manner that does not significantly compromise
                 the rural productivity or ecological values of the land.”
     B.    Wording to append to the conditions of approval an advisory note that would indicate to
           the applicants that Council would be amenable to considering an application for a Low
           Use Commercial activity on the road reserve immediately in front of the premises for the
           running of mobile coffee bus on the grounds that such a use is consistent with the
           Commercial Use of Community Land Policy that requires the commercial use activity to
           enhance the visitor and local experience of Noosa Shire.
