                                                                                           proposal report




The proposal plans detail an internal use area of 575m2 including the main building, lunch room and staff
toilets. Of this area, only 150m2 is to be used for seating associated with the bakery and kitchen uses on
the site with the remainder used for kitchen, associated food storage areas, amenities for guests and staff
and foyer areas. Therefore a total of 150m2 is applicable for carparking assessment which equates to 15
spaces.

Carparking for the proposed use has been assessed as:

         Existing use credit                           11 spaces
         Carparking on site                             2 spaces
         New bays in Maple Street                       3 spaces
                                                       16 spaces
The proposal therefore complies with carparking requirements as detailed by the Noosa Plan.

The site is also mapped as being located in a Character Area under the Noosa Plan and an assessment of
the proposal is included in Appendix C. The reuse of the existing building is considered to comply with the
relevant requirements of the Code.


5.0 State assessment and other matters

5.1 State interests
5.1.1 Matters established in the Planning Regulation

Nil

5.1.2 State Planning Policy

The proposal has been reviewed against the State Planning Policy and due to the use of the existing building
and infrastructure the proposal is consistent with the relevant requirements.

5.1.3 Contaminated Land
The site is included on the Environmental Management Register (EMR site id – 10234) due to the sites
previous use as a Service Station. The proposal however does not trigger assessment or referral under the
Planning Regulations 2017 as it is not a sensitive land use and does not involve underground works.
