PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                            8 MAY 2018


4.     CONSULTATION
4.1. Referral Agencies
The application was referred to the following Referral Agencies:
     Energex Limited
Energex Limited is an advice agency as the premise is subject to an Energex easement. The
Department has responded by letter on 10 January 2018 advising that they have no objection to
the proposal.
4.2. Other Referrals
The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers:
     Development Engineer
     Environmental Health Officer
4.3. Public Notification
The application was publicly notified for 15 business days in accordance with the Planning Act
2016. No submissions were received.
5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The application proposes to amend the existing development approval to facilitate a car wash
use on the site. The new use will be positioned within the existing at grade car park north of the
existing large mall part of the Noosa Civic shopping centre. The proposed use will result in a
reduction in the number of existing and approved car parks and accordingly the application seeks
approval to amend condition 4.2 and 152 to accommodate the new use.
The proposed car wash is considered in keeping with the Overall Outcomes sought for the Shire
Business Centre in the Noosaville Locality Code with the predominant land use comprising retail
development as the core function. The proposed car wash facility is ancillary and subordinate
and considered complementary to the primary use.
Although reducing the total number of retail car spaces available, it considered that the proposed
car wash use will not attract any additional car parking demand and the vehicles of customers
making use of the facility will be parked within the proposed detailing and wash bays provided for
within the area of the car wash facility.
