PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                       26 MAY 2015


2.    SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
On the 13 October 2008, Council issued a development approval (08/0890) for a Retail Business
Type 2 – Shop & Salon with a total gross floor area of 85m2. At the time, the tenancy was being
used by a real estate agent and the change of use to a shop did not generate additional
carparking demand. A copy of the approved plan is included as Figure 3.

On the 28 November 2013, Council responded to a written complaint from a local trader relating
to the establishment of a coffee cart and unapproved building works on the site. Since the
commencement of breach action, the coffee cart has been removed and this development
application seeks to address the unapproved building works associated with the increased shop
area.
2.2. Site Description
The 286m2 site includes 11m of road frontage to Noosa Drive and 34m of road frontage to Halse
Lane. An awning and raised deck area extends along the building frontages, which is currently
being used as shop display area.

The site is relatively flat and includes existing mature vegetation at the rear of the building. A 1m
high retaining wall extends along the rear of the property.
2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
Directly adjoining the site to the north is an existing vehicle hire business. To the east of the site
is the access driveway for the Mantra French Quarter Resort and Halse Lodge. Across Noosa
Drive to the west of the site are the Noosa Heads Lion Park and the Noosa Heads bus stop.
