Pursuant to Clause 81(3) the responsible entity -
   (a) must assess against, or have regard to, the matters that applied when the development
       application was made; and

    (b) may assess against, or have regard to, the matters that applied when the change
        application was made.

        Comment: The Noosa Plan includes the site within the Noosaville Locality and the Business
        Centre Zone. The proposal is consistent with the overall outcomes of the Noosaville Locality
        Code.

        The proposal does not comply with Specific Outcome O80c) in that the proposal increases the
                                                                       2
        retail floor space of the centre. The proposal represents a 27m increase in Total Use Area and
                 2
        a 54m increase in Gross Floor Area. These are very modest increases equating to
        approximately 1% of existing areas. The proposal does not elevate the status of the centre.
        The proposal is also entirely consistent with Overall Outcome ss) vi) which states that Noosa
        Village Plaza retail centre provides for the local community needs of residents and visitors of
        Noosaville, with development resulting in no significant change in retail floor space.

        TTM has confirmed that the changes to the existing parking supply will improve vehicle and
        pedestrian safety and operational efficiency. TTM have also confirmed that the proposed
        parking supply is consistent with current best practice and exceeds minimum and peak
        parking demands.
