PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                    12 JULY 2016


2.   SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
A Material Change of Use for various industrial businesses, a service station/convenience shop
and a food outlet and Operational Works for signage was issued on 4 June 2015 and took effect
on 10 August 2015.
On 24 September 2015 Council approved a change to the approval which primarily related to the
inclusion of a vehicle drive-through to the rear of the food outlet and minor changes to the floor
layout and car parking.

On 23 October 2015, Council approved a change to the approval to remove the Retail Business
Type 6 – Hardware Store from the Material Change of Use approval.

The service station is proposed to be operated by the 7–Eleven group, the drive-through food
outlet by KFC and one of the tenancies is a national tyre retailer.

At the time of writing this report, the old buildings that were on-site have been demolished and
the applicant has submitted an operational works application to Council.
2.2. Site Description
The site comprises Lot 4 and Lot 30. Lot 4 is a triangular shaped lot of 4,166m² fronting Eumundi
Noosa Road. There is some existing fill to the northern part of the lot that accommodated past
buildings. The lot has a small frontage to Lionel Donovan Drive.

The adjoining Lot 30 has 2 frontages, Lionel Donovan Drive and Walter Hay Drive. The 3,574m²
lot is generally rectangular in shape with a rounded frontage to Walter Hay Drive and a triangular
section to Lionel Donovan Drive. The lot has roughly 2.5m of diagonal cross fall from the Lionel
Donovan Drive frontage to the north east corner of the Walter Hay Drive frontage.

Figure 3 below shows the site’s location and surrounding uses.
2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
The lots have frontage to Lionel Donovan Drive which is the ring road that creates the Noosaville
auto park. Retail showrooms for vehicle sales are a consistent use fronting Lionel Donovan Drive
and as such dominate the southern portion of Lionel Donovan Drive. Vehicle related businesses
such as tyre retailers, vehicle service and mechanical centres, caravan repairs, car wash and
auto electrical businesses are interspersed around the other areas of Lionel Donovan Drive along
with some other industrial uses.

A vehicle sales showroom has recently opened diagonally opposite the site to the south west
along Eumundi Noosa Road (the old Bunnings site).

The Good Shepherd Lutheran College is diagonally opposite across Walter Hay Drive to the
north east and the Venture Drive industrial precinct is across Eumundi Noosa Road to the North
West.
