NOOSA PLAN

The assessment table for the Business Centre zone details that Entertainment and Dining Business
uses are consistent uses and acceptable development in the zone and do not require approval where
located in a building that has been approved for commercial, retail and entertainment and dining uses.
The assessment table however details that any expansion or new outdoor use area is code
assessable development. This application involves new outdoor dining areas on the site and therefore
triggers an application to Council.
