PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                        8 NOVEMBER 2016



Application No        Applicant           Application Details          Fees & Charges          Fee
                                                                       Policy                  proposed

MCU15/0116            Kitchen Shed        Retail business Type 2       $12,157                 $8,118

                                          9 Selkirk Dr Noosaville

The application fee applied to this application included a standard 3x fee multiplier for an inconsistent
use in the zone. The applicant formally requests Council review the application fee on the basis the
assessment is likely to be relatively straight forward and should not involve external consultants to
undertake peer reviews, impact assessments or the like. The applicant requests the fee multiplier be
waived entirely.
It is agreed that a partial waiver is reasonable for the reasons submitted by the applicant.
However, Council applies a 2x fee multiplier for developments commenced without a necessary
development approval. Given Council officers advised in writing a development approval was
required for the retail use and the use subsequently commenced without approval, which required
Council to undertake additional compliance action, it is reasonable for this multiplier to apply. It is
recommended the fee multiplier be adjusted from 3x to 2x accordingly (from $12,157 to $8,118).

Not yet lodged        Downes Group        85 Rene St Noosaville        $29,760                 $15,428
                      Pty Ltd on behalf   MCU Industrial business
                      of client           Type 2 Brewery and
                                          ancillary bar

An application for MCU and OPW for the above use is intended to be lodged for assessment. The
industrial use is currently a consistent but impact assessable use in the Shire Business Centre Zone
but drops to code assessable under the upcoming planning scheme amendments.
It is recommended that the fee for the industrial use be the code assessable fee for 1600m 2 use area
(from $13,215 to $9,913) and that the multiplier of x 3 be waived for the café/restaurant component
(tasting room) which is considered ancillary to the brewery. The base impact fee for a café/restaurant
(from $16,545 to $5,515).




Application No        Applicant        Application Details             Fees & Charges          Fee
                                                                       Policy                  proposed

MCU16/0130            Noosaville       101 Eumundi Noosa Rd            $49,635                 $12,408.75

                      Professional     Retail business Types 6 &
                      Centre           7, Industrial business Type
                                       2

The applicant seeks approval for the above uses to provide a mix of approved uses for the site to
allow future development potential. Retail business Type 6 & Industrial business Type 2 are existing
uses on the site and are generally in line with a previous approval for a hardware store.
The uses are inconsistent and impact assessable as the site is zoned Attached Housing. As the site
has been operating with commercial uses for many years it is appropriate to waive the x 3 multiplier
for inconsistent uses and apply a 25% discount for uses within an existing building/s.
A total fee of $12,408.75 is recommended under the circumstances which will cover the cost of the
assessment of the application.
