PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                12 JULY 2016


Land Use & Works Provisions
The following codes which regulate land use and design are most applicable to this application:
      Business Uses Code
      Landscaping Code
      Engineering Works Code
The Noosa Plan Codes were addressed as part of the Material Change of Use for the whole
complex (MCU14/0102) and the proposal has no impact on any of these provisions. The
proposal attracts a slightly lower car parking rate than the industrial use originally approved and
therefore raises no parking concerns.

Existing approved Uses

The application seeks to maintain the existing approved Industrial Businesses Types 1 and 2.
Both uses are consistent in the Industry zone and maintaining these provides flexibility into the
future and raises no concerns.

4.      CONSULTATION
4.1. Public Notification
The application was publicly notified for 15 business days in accordance with the Sustainable
Planning Act 2009. No submissions were received.

5.      CONCLUSION
Despite the use conflicting with the industrial zone, the retail sale of automotive parts and
accessories is considered well located near a service station, tyre retailer and within the
Noosaville auto park precinct. The proposal is considered complementary to and compatible with
vehicle uses nearby and is unlikely to create any adverse impacts.

Despite the conflict with The Noosa Plan, the following are considered grounds to support the
application:
1.      The showroom for the sale of automotive parts and accessories provides an automotive
        service-related business suitably located in the Noosaville auto precinct.
1.      The proposal is compatible with and complementary to surrounding industrial and vehicle
        uses.
The showroom for the sale of automotive parts and accessories does not raise any other
significant planning concerns and is recommended for approval, subject to conditions.
