Whilst it is acknowledged that in 2001 an application to remove Condition 4 was lodged and refused
by Council, a number of circumstances have changed since that time. Council has since released the
following documents which support outdoor dining experiences and the intent of the proposed Minor
Change:

Noosa Plan 2006,

Noosa Design Principles Guideline (2015),

Planning Scheme Policy — 14 Outdoor Dining, and

Draft New Noosa Plan (2019).

This application for a Minor Change to Development incorporating the deletion or amendment to
Condition 4 and change to the approved plans can be supported on a number of grounds which
include:

e No additional outdoor dining area is being created through the provision of the lightweight
shade structure,

e¢ The amended plans result in a 41m? reduction of dining area and thus a carparking credit of
2.4 spaces can be applied,

e The proposal can be defined as a Minor Change to Approval in accordance with Schedule 2
of the Planning Act 2016,

e The minor changes are supported through the strategic intent prescribed within the Noosa
Plan 2006,

e The proposed lightweight hade structure promotes subtropical design principles,

e The shade structure protects diners from the elements,

e The shade structure does not present an appearance of excessive bulk to adjacent
properties,

e The shade structure improves the existing structure and contributes positively to the local
skyline, and

e The amended plans do not result in any changes to the existing landscaped areas.

In summary, the above request for a permissible change will result in a minor change to the use of the
site and is consistent with the intent of the original approval. Approval of the above Permissible
Change is recommended.

Once receipt of the application has been confirmed we will organise payment of the application.
Please confirm the appropriate fee. We look forward to Council processing the application at its
earliest convenience. Do not hesitate to contact myself personally if you have any questions.

Kind Regards,
