REPORT

1            INTRODUCTION
RPS has been engaged by Bunnings Properties Pty Ltd to seek development approval for establishment of a
bulk trade yard on land at 178 Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville. The subject site is more properly described
as Lot 101 on SP279285 and has an area of 2.793 hectares. The bulk trade yard is proposed over a vacant
northern portion of the allotment.
This development application seeks:
•     Development Permit for Material Change of Use for Hardware and Trade Supplies
The proposal involves:
•     Establishment of a bulk trade yard. The bulk trade yard will cater to builders and trades customers,
      rather than being targeted to retail customers.
•     Built form will comprise two levels, set into the slope of the land, and will comply with PO8 of the
      Medium Industry Zone Code including that it has a two storey building height.
•     Car parking will be provided at under croft level beneath the enclosed trade yard, as well as some
      loading spaces within the upper level. Parking provision will exceed minimum planning scheme rates.
•     A six metre setback to Gateway Drive (after verge widening) will be landscaped.
•     Vehicular ingress and egress are provided via separate entry and exit driveways to and from Gateway
      Drive.
•     Appropriate stormwater quality and quantity measures are proposed including, to collect and discharge
      flows onto the site from the property to the west, and to provide bio retention.
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.
Under the Noosa Plan 2020, the subject site is within the Medium Impact Industry Zone and within the
Noosaville Local Plan. In accordance with the Tables of Assessment, the proposal is subject to Code
Assessment.
This report provides greater detail on the nature of the proposal and provides an assessment of the proposal
against the intents and code requirements of relevant statutory planning documents. Technical issues
associated with the proposal are addressed in appended technical reports.
Based on these assessments approval is sought subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
