REPORT

7            CONCLUSION
This town planning report supports a development application made on behalf of Bunnings Properties Pty
Ltd to Noosa Council for the establishment of a bulk trade yard.
The site is located at 178 Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville, and is formally described as Lot 101 on
SP279285.
The development application seeks:
•     Development Permit for Material Change of Use for Hardware and Trade Supplies
The application is subject to code assessment.
This report has demonstrated the proposal’s consistency with the intents and code requirements of the
Noosa Plan 2020, including that:
•     The proposed bulk trade yard is a separate, self-contained land use from the approved Bunnings. It is
      appropriate that a separate development permit be obtained for the use.
•     The proposed development is best defined as ‘hardware and trade supplies’ which is code assessable
      in the Medium Impact Industry zone.
•     The building height of 2 storeys is compliant with PO8 of the Medium Impact Industry Zone Code.
•     The bulk and scale are appropriate to the location, and the built form has been designed to conform with
      the natural gradient of the land and the existing Bunnings Warehouse building.
•     Materials and colours proposed for the building are consistent with the Bunnings Warehouse that
      shares the site with the development.
•     Appropriate provision has been made for car parking, land dedication for road widening, and
      landscaping.
•     Separate vehicle access and egress points are proposed to/from Gateway Drive to ensure safe and
      function access/egress.
The proposal will be located on approved lot 103 under Noosa Council subdivision approval ref:
REC14/0005. The proposal will operate entirely independently of the existing Bunnings store on the
southern portion of the site. No changes are proposed to the existing Bunnings. It is appropriate that a
separate development approval be sought for the bulk trade yard on this basis.
Based on the above, approval is sought subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
