Town Planning Report - Peregian Village Market · MCU13/0251

56. The proposed development is proposing a professional office use as one of the
    uses allowed in the speciality shop area. The design of the built form, while not
    of domestic appearance, will accommodate small scale businesses consistent with
    the amenity of the surrounding area.

57. It is accepted that the proposed development will not be in keeping with the
    character of a residential property. However, at this location there are adjoining
    commercial developments and infill development is proposed, which is desirable.
    The proposed uses and built form is also compatible with the commercial uses
    directly opposite site.

Open Space Recreation Zone

Consistent and Inconsistent Uses (O73 & O74)

58. Within the Open Space Recreation Zone, Entertainment and Dining Type 1 is a
    consistent use where in conjunction with an Open Space use. Both the Retail
    Business and Commercial Business uses are inconsistent in this zone. However,
    again it is relevant that the current approval over the land provides for these
    uses, along with visitor accommodation proposed.

Caravan and camping facilities at Peregian Beach (O75)

59. The subject land was previously used as a caravan park, but this use has not
    operated for some time, because it is not a viable option for the land. The current
    approval maintains the use of the remainder of the land for low cost visitor
    accommodation close to the Neighbourhood Centre consistent with the intent of
    the planning scheme.

60. The proposed development uses the portion of the land that is primarily occupied
    by Stage 1 of the current approval, which allows for Retail Business and
    Entertainment and Dining uses as well as other visitor accommodation uses. The
    proposed development occupies only a small portion of the subject land included
    in the Open Space Recreation Zone and this makes no material difference in the
    circumstances.

61. It is accepted that there is some conflict with the planning scheme, but there are
    sufficient grounds to overcome any conflict with the planning scheme.

Business Uses Code

62. The overall outcomes sought for the Business Uses Code state:

         a)         Existing and future populations have access to an adequate level of
                    goods and services; and
         b)         Business Uses meet the needs and expectations of the Noosa
                    community in terms of providing—
                     i.   human scale in the building design;
                    ii.   development that integrates with natural landforms and
                          landscape features;
                   iii.   development that is compatible with the existing character and
                          amenity of the streetscape and surrounding area;
