Planning Report - Moonstruck Noosa

5. Proposed Development Details

5.1 Material Change of Use

This application is seeking a Development Permit for Material Change of Use to develop a Food and
Drink Outlet use. The proposed indoor gymnasium is Code Assessable as defined within the Noosa
Plan 2020.

Moonstruck Noosa is a tapas café located at Shop 4, 5 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads. The intention
of this development application is to seek approval of the outdoor dining area.

The proposed Food and Drink Outlet is intended to be established in accordance with the proposal
plans provided in Appendix A. The design comprises:

    •    Indoor and outdoor dining areas,

    •    Café and bar areas,

    •    Storage area,

    •    Food preparation area,

    •    Kitchen washup area.

Shop 4 is currently approved as a Shop and as such limits dining to 10 patrons. Moonstruck wish to
increase their dining capacity and hence are seeking a Material Change of Use to establish a Food
and Drink Outlet. The proposed use will enable Moonstruck to seat additional patrons, both inside
and outside.

A survey of all patrons who dined at Moonstruck Noosa for the weekend of 3rd and 4th of October
2020 was undertaken by the applicants. Of those who were surveyed, 93% of the patrons who visited
Moonstruck Noosa originated from the Hastings Street precinct. Hence, the car parking
requirements generated by the proposed Food and Drink Outlet is negligible.

The proposal will not result in any additional infrastructure requirements that are not already
available at the site. All urban services are existing at the site and will not require significant
alteration.



5.2 Existing Approval

In 1987 Noosa Council issued a Town Planning Consent (#1884) and approved Shop 4 as a shop, as
apart of the Maison Noosa Resort (Maison La Plage). No alterations to the approved built form are
proposed.

Moonstruck Noosa currently operates as a tapas café with approvals from

    •    The Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (Subsidiary on Premises #213917),
