3.2. State and Other Statutory Instruments
South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan 2009 - 2031

consistent with the regional policies of the SEQ Regional Plan and the associated SEQ Regional
Plan Regulatory Provisions.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The subject site is located in the Noosaville Locality and is zoned Industry. The proposed use is
identified as an inconsistent use within the zone and is required to follow an impact assessable
application process.
Noosaville Locality Code Provisions
The Noosaville Locality Code provides the following overall Outcomes for new uses:
Overall Outcome 11.8.2 reads
11.8.2 The overall outcomes sought for the Noosaville Locality are the following—
           a) New uses and works are located, designed and managed to—
                i     be compatible with other uses and works;
                ii    maintain the safety of people and works;
                iii          avoid significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users
                       of other premises, including acoustic and visual qualities; and…
                                               AND
The following Specific Outcome for the Industry zone is also relevant:
Specific Outcome O188

O188        Uses are predominantly of an industrial nature ordinarily expected in an industrial
            estate with ancillary uses compatible with industrial businesses
The proposed showroom for the sale of automotive parts and accessories is located within a
mixed use industrial complex that includes a service station and a tyre retailer. The site is also
within the northern portion of the Noosaville auto park precinct where Retail Business Type 4 –
Showroom for vehicle sales is a consistent use, as the lots front Lionel Donovan Drive. The intent
of the Planning Scheme is to cluster vehicle sale uses to lots that front Lionel Donovan.
The nearby vehicle sales businesses include the sales of vehicles parts and accessories. The
proposal is similar to these businesses but with a larger stand alone floor space and without the
vehicle sales component. The proposed use is considered compatible with and complementary
to the nearby vehicle uses within the auto park and will service the surrounding Noosaville
industrial area. Council has approved automotive and trade related showrooms in the past,
finding them compatible with the industrial zone.
The proposal is unlikely to create any adverse impacts to the surrounding area given its
compatibility with nearby uses.
The Noosaville Locality Code Overall Outcome 11.8.2 y) is relevant to the assessment and
reads:
11.8.2 y)      For the Industry zone – land in this zone
            …ii   is protected for industrial functions including Industrial business Type 2 to the
                  exclusion of incompatible uses including Residential Uses, Community Uses,
                  Commercial business and most sport and recreation uses and Retail business
                  uses;
Specific Outcome 11.8.2 y) excludes residential, community and commercial uses but allows for
some retail uses. In this instance, it is considered a showroom for the sale of automotive parts
and accessories is well located in amongst vehicle uses and provides an integrated complex
servicing the nearby auto precinct and the greater industrial area.
