PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                           8 NOVEMBER 2016



Application No        Applicant            Application Details          Fees & Charges       Fee
                                                                        Policy               proposed

OPW16/0220            Keaton               61 Morinda Cir               $1,645               $871
                      Grandemange          Noosaville
                                           Earthworks

The applicant has requested consideration of a fee waiver due to the small scale of the earthworks
mainly over the sewer easement for a detached house lot. Limited assessment is required and an
information request will be issued to request certification by RPEQ for the works and an endorsement
from Unitywater. Under the circumstances it is recommended the minimum fee of $871 be applied in
this instance.



The following 2 fee waivers are for proposals which have not been lodged with Council to date.

Application No        Applicant            Application Details          Fees & Charges       Fee
                                                                        Policy               proposed

Not yet lodged        Padre Coffee         Retail business Type 2       $16,236              $5,412
                                           Shop
                                           10 Eenie Creek Rd
                                           Noosaville

In relation to current breach action underway with Padre Coffee at 10 Eenie Creek Rd Noosaville and
a meeting with the operator, it is proposed to reduce the application fee for a café for the following
reasons:
 Advice to the operators through an application for a kitchen fit out lacked clarity.
 The café is relatively small, say 40m 2, and appears to be an integral part of a bona fide industrial
   roasting business on the site.
 The site is a standalone site that was previously a showroom and parking impacts appear
   manageable.
In this instance, a reduction of the fee to the base impact assessment figure of $5,412, rather than the
figure for an inconsistent use or a use commenced without approval, is the appropriate fee.




Application No        Applicant            Application Details          Fees & Charges       Fee
                                                                        Policy               proposed

N/A                   Cheyne Douglas       Martial Arts Studio          $12,243              $4,080
                                           29 Eumundi Noosa Rd
                                           Noosaville

The proposal is to establish a martial arts studio in the newly constructed Coastal Laundry building
which currently has a couple of vacant tenancies. The site is in the Attached Housing Zone therefore
the application fee is subject to a x 3 multiplier with a discount of 25% for the use in an existing
building. The applicant has requested consideration of a waiver of fees in full and while this is not
supported, given the finite assessment issues (parking and residential amenity) it is considered that
the base impact assessment fee of $5,441 less 25% for the existing building is appropriate.
