Planning Report - Moonstruck Noosa

8. Conclusions

This report has been prepared by RG Strategic to accompany a Development Application made by
April Lifestyle Pty Ltd trading as Moonstruck Noosa (the Applicant). The applicant seeks a
Development Permit for a Material Change of Use for a Food and Drink Outlet use at Shop 4/5
Hastings Street, Noosa Heads 4567.

This report demonstrates that the proposed development is permitted pursuant to the provisions of
the Planning Act 2016 and the Noosa Plan 2020, and the indoor gymnasium can be supported on a
number of grounds, including:

    •    The development complies with the intent of the Noosa Plan 2020;

    •    The development is consistent with the overall outcomes for the Noosa Heads Local Plan
         Code and the Tourist Accommodation Zone Code;

    •    The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the original approval and merely seeks to
         increase the number of patrons which can dine at Moonstruck Noosa;

    •    Moonstruck Noosa currently operates with approvals from the Office of Liquor and Gaming
         Regulation (Subsidiary on Premises #213917) and Noosa Council (Food Licence FH20/0003 +
         Footpath Trading Permit FT20/0007);

    •    The proposed outdoor dining use area results in an activated streetscape and creates a
         lively atmosphere;

    •    The increase in outdoor dining area is less than the decrease in internal dining area (a total
         net loss) and thereby the reconfiguration of the dining areas does not require additional car
         parking to be provided;

    •    No new buildings or alterations to the existing external built form is proposed.


For the reasons above it is recommended that this application for Development Permit for a Material
Change of Use for a Food and Drink Outlet at Shop 4/5 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads be approved
subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
