Carparking requirements as prescribed within Table 14.51 of the Noosa Plan 2006 for a Type 1
Food and Beverages use = 1 space per 10”, or part thereof, of use area and outdoor dining
area (excluding kitchen and food storage areas) on the property.

Carparking requirements as prescribed within Table 9.4.1.4 of the Draft New Noosa Plan 2019
for a Food and drink outlet use =1 space per 20m? of use area and outdoor business area,
excluding kitchen and food storage areas

Table 4: Carparking Requirements for Proposed Amended Plans

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Planning Scheme Carparking Ratio Total Carparking Spaces Required
Planning Scheme 1990 48m?x 1 space / 15m? 3.2 spaces
Noosa Plan 2006 48m? x 1space / 10m? 4.8 spaces
Draft New Noosa Plan 2019 48m?2x 1 space / 20m? 2.4 spaces

 

 

The existing plan approves 85m of indoor dining area which at the time of the approval required 5.6
carparking spaces (in relation to the indoor dining area only). As demonstrated within Table 4 above,
with the reduction of the indoor dining area to 48m? the required carparking infrastructure is reduced.
The existing carparking infrastructure meets the requirements of all three carparking ratios as
prescribed within the planning scheme (1990, 2006 and 2019).

Therefore, it can be argued that the credit in carparking spaces as a result of the significant
reduction in dining area can be applied and is justified for the outdoor use which is proposed to be
covered and contribute to GFA / Use Area calculations.

Furthermore, Season Restaurant caters primarily to the guests of Tingirana Noosa’s 36 apartments
and offers guests room and pool side service. Carparking for the guests of Tingirana Noosa is
provided on site.

NOOSA DESIGN PRINCIPLES GUIDELINE

The proposed changes to the approved plans are consistent with the guiding design principles
referenced in Council's Noosa Design Principles (2015) document. The following extract is in relation
to the proposed Minor Change and current use (Season Restaurant):

FOOTPATH DINING HAS THE ABILITY TO CREATE A VIBRANT ATMOSPHERE IN OUR TOWN AND
VILLAGE CENTRES

e Different seating styles - high, low, shaded and unshaded

e Umbrellas for shade, to attract people and create a relaxed atmosphere.

e Avariety of spaces arranged around existing features and constraints.

e = Appropriate structures that fit with the streetscape.

The existing configuration of outdoor dining at Season Restaurant promotes incidental social
interaction between diners and pedestrians along The Parade. The proposal incorporates a shade
