Dear Sir/Madam,

RE:      LODGEMENT OF A DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
Material Change of Use – Development Permit Material Change of Use – Extension to an
Warehouse located at Proposed 16 and 17/11 Bartlett Street, Noosaville and described as Lot
16 onSP290687.

Martoo Consulting has been engaged by Michael Tozer and Sunshine Coast Commercial to submit a
development application seeking a Material Change of Use for an extension to a Warehouse for new
mezzanine floor areas. The Noosa Council is the Assessment Manager for this development
application under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.

The applicant seeks approval to utilise the extend the existing industrial building by providing two new
mezzanine areas for two proposed industrial tenancies on the site.

This letter supports the above development application by explaining the site and the applicant’s
rationale for the proposed land use and concludes by providing our brief town planning assessment of
the proposed extensions.


THE SUBJECT SITE

The subject site comprises two proposed industrial tenancies (Lot 16 and 17) located within an
existing industrial building located along the southern boundary of 11 Bartlett Street, Noosaville. The
building was previously used for a bowling alley and Lazer Tag facility however these uses have
ceased with the western portion of building recently subdivided into four industrial tenancies. The
owner of the site is now in the process of subdividing existomg Lot 16 into two tenancies.

The aerial photograph below in Figure 1 illustrates the sites location and surrounding uses and Figure
2 the proposed subdivision to create two tenancies.

THE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION

This application seeks approval to construct a mezzanine floor in each industrial unit. The floor area
comprise:

         Proposed Unit 16 - mezzanine area of 102m2
         Proposed Unit 17 – mezzanine area of 45.95m2

Proposal plans prepared by Clo Studios and Collins Building Design are included in Attachment A
and B.


NOOSA PLAN 2020

The site includes the site in the Low Impact industry zone. The assessment table for the zone details
that a warehouse is accepted development subject to requirements where it is an existing building and
not involving any new buildings or the expansion of building or use area. The applicant intends to
increase the floor area and therefore the proposal is code assessable and required to be assessed
against the following codes:

              Noosaville Local Plan Code;
              Low Impact Industry Zone Code;
              Industry Activities Code; and
              Works Codes.

The proposal has been reviewed against the relevant Codes and is generally considered to comply
with the specific outcomes. The extension is located within the existing building and will not impact the
external appearance of the building or site. It is noted that the proposed office areas on the mezzanine
levels comply with the Low Impact Industry Code of not providing more than 30% administration for
each tenancy.

The proposed mezzanine have been assessed against the Driveways and Parking Code. The original
Court Order for the Bowling Alley detailed a requirement for 78 spaces which was based upon:

         Existing industrial premises: 1667m2 - 1 space/50m2 = 33.34 cars
         Industrial premises: 198.6m2 – 1space/50m2 = 4 cars
         Bowling alley: 1269m2      = 40.6 spaces

The Bowling alley has now ceased operation and is being converted to use as industrial tenancies. As the
site will be used for industrial uses carparking is to be provided on site based the Noosa Plan 2018 rates of:

         1 space per 30m2 , or part thereof, of use area, for areas up to 150m2 ; AND
         1 space per 50m2 , or part thereof, of use area, for areas up to 500m2 ; AND
         1 space per 100m2 , or part thereof, of use area in excess of 500m2 ;

The existing approved floor area for the whole site totals 3134.6m2 which equates to a requirement for 39.8
spaces. Council has also recently approved a caretakers residence on the site which requires one car
parking space to be provided bringing the total required on site to 41 spaces.

The proposed mezzanine floors have a combined area of 147.9m2 and at a rate of 1 space/100m2 attracts
a requirement of 1.5 spaces. Sufficient carparking is therefore available on site.

The proposed mezzanine is consistent with the intent of the industrial zone and is recommended to be
approved.
