PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                      26 MAY 2015


RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Organisation
Committee Meeting dated 26 May 2015 for Application No. MCU14/0053 for a Development
Permit for Material Change of Use for a Retail Business Type 2 – Shop & Salon, situated at 15
Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads and:
A.    Refuse the application for the following reasons:
      1.    The proposed development does not meet the Overall and Specific Outcomes of the
            Driveways and Car Parking code as sufficient car parking is not provided on site to
            accommodate the number of vehicles likely to be generated by the development.
      2.    The proposed development does not meet the Overall and Specific Outcomes of the
            Noosa Heads Locality Code as the proposals exceeds the 45% site cover
            requirement for Visitor Mixed Use Zone, having a 65% site cover.
B.    Give notice to the property owner that the unapproved building works on site must be
      demolished within 6 months of Council’s decision.




REPORT
1.    PROPOSAL
The application seeks approval to use an additional 100m2 of shop area at the ‘Golden Breed’
surf shop situated at 15 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads. This would increase the total approved use
area of the shop from 85m2 to 185m2.

The application is the result of breach action following a complaint received by Council. The
additional floor space has been constructed without a Building or Planning Approval and is
currently being used by the surf shop.

Additional building works are proposed to make the existing floor space compliant with Building
Code of Australia (BCA), including a fire rated wall along the northern property boundary, and a
portion of new roof and guttering. No additional parking is proposed on site for the additional floor
space. In lieu of onsite parking for the proposed extension, the applicant is offering to pay
contributions towards public transport facilities in the area.

The locality and proposal plans are included as Figures 1 & 2 with supplementary plans and site
photos included as Attachment 1 & 2.
