PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                 8 NOVEMBER 2016


Of these, the statutory planning instruments relevant to this application are discussed in the
sections that follow.
3.2. State and Other Statutory Instruments
State Planning Policy
The development is within a mapped potential acid sulfate soils area and triggers assessment
against the State Planning Policy in regard to Water Quality. This aspect is assessed in Section
3.3 of this report, with the development able to comply, subject to appropriate conditions.
South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan 2009 - 2031
The site is located within the Urban Footprint area of the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is
consistent with the regional policies and Regulatory Provisions of the SEQ Regional Plan.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The site is located in the Noosaville locality and is zoned Industry. A service station is identified
as a consistent use within the zone but the retail shop and food outlet components are identified
as inconsistent uses. The application is required to follow an impact assessable application
process.
The service station is adjacent to a major arterial road, being well located to service the high
volume of passing traffic and will complement the 7-eleven service station and drive through food
outlet under construction directly across the road.
Locality Provisions
Convenience shop
The retail shop component raises conflicts with the uses sought within the zone. Generally, The
Noosa Plan seeks to avoid retail shops (of the type normally expected within shopping centres
and retail shopping strips) from the Industry zone. Overall Outcome 11.8.2 (y) of the Noosaville
Locality Code states:
For the Industry Zone—land in this zone—
… is protected for industrial functions including Industrial business Type 2 to the exclusion of
incompatible uses including Residential Uses, Community Uses, Commercial business and most
sport and recreation uses and Retail business uses;
The retail shop component is an ancillary and commonly expected component of a modern
service station development. The convenience retail role of service stations has largely replaced
traditional corner stores, which have all but disappeared, and now form an important part of the
retail network to meet residents’ needs. The site is located on Eumundi Noosa Road, a major
arterial road, and will serve the high levels of passing traffic. At 100m 2, the retail shop component
will not significantly detract from the site’s overall industrial function, nor the Industry zone more
broadly, and is unlikely to have any adverse impact on Noosa’s existing retail centres.
Food Outlet
The proposed food outlet also raises conflicts with the uses sought for the zone. There is an
existing lawful food outlet use on-site, which the proposed food outlet would essentially replace,
albeit with a 57m² larger floor plate. A food outlet is a common expected component of a
contemporary service station development and is unlikely to adversely affect other food outlets
within the nearby industrial area and retail centre.
Land Use & Works Provisions
The following codes which regulate land use and design are most applicable to this application:
 Business Uses Code
 Engineering Works Codes
 Landscaping Code
