and Planning), which adopts a ‘report-by-exception’ approach. The planning report only discusses the key issues and
matters where a proposed development does not exactly meet the requirements of, or conflicts with, a planning scheme
or other planning instrument.

4.0 Planning assessment
4.1 Other Change Assessment
A Change other than a minor change under the Planning Act 2016, allows for a change that may
result in a substantially different development. Section 82 (4) of the Planning Act 2016 prescribes
the matters for assessing and deciding the change application in the context of the existing
development approval.
The following assessment considers the applicable matters in the context of an existing approval for
a Restaurant, Shop & Professional Office, and the change to incorporate dual occupancy.
The application also includes a change to a dual occupancy to afford the right for the premises to be
used for permanent residential accommodation at any time.
4.2 Tewantin Local Plan Code
The Overall Outcomes of the local plan code seeks for development in the Tewantin town centre to
provide a wide range of predominantly commercial, retail and community activities with supporting
residential to provide for the needs of visitors, residents and local employment. Retail uses are
focused along Poinciana Avenue, with shop fronts activating the streetscape.
Mixed used residential developments are encouraged within the District Centre Zone, providing for
affordable housing opportunities close to shops and services. The development provides for the
needs of visitors and residents, offering mixed-use retail, commercial and residential uses, consistent
with the relevant overall outcomes of the local plan code.
An assessment against each of the relevant performance and acceptable outcomes demonstrates
compliance with the code and is included in Appendix 1.
4.3 District Centre Zone Code
The Overall Outcomes of the District Centre Zone seek for development to provide a mix and range
of goods and services, employment, residential and retail uses to service the needs of the local
community and its visitors. Development within this zone contributes to the vibrancy and economic
activity of the centre.
Residential uses including dual occupancies are a consistent use within the District Centre Zone in
conjunction with a non-residential use in a mixed-use format. The development provides housing
diversity by providing smaller dwellings integrated with business uses on ground level which are
appropriate to the centre role and function of the area. The development's mixed used formation is
consistent with the relevant overall outcomes of the District Centre Code.
An assessment against each of the relevant performance and acceptable outcomes are included in
Appendix 2. with further comment provided below.
Page 6 of 89
Page 7
PO41
Mixed-use buildings are designed and operated to ensure:
a) business uses manage potential impact on residents, including impacts associated with:
(i) visual and acoustic privacy;
(ii) safety and security; and
(iii) Lighting.
b) residential uses do not limit the business opportunities of the site; and
c) residential uses have reasonable privacy, security and private outdoor living space
AO41.4
Dwellings provide:
a) clearly identify private residential space by using features such as low walls, changes in surface
texture or other landscape treatments.; and
b) private open space or an open balcony directly accessible from a habitable room:
(a) with a minimum area of 9m²,
(b) with a minimum dimension of 2.5 metres; and
(c) clear of any utilities such as gas, water tanks and air conditioning units.
Although the development does not meet the Acceptable Outcome – AO41.4 for 2.5m minimum
width of balconies (provided 2m as shown below), the existing balcony is 12m2 and provides
sufficient private outdoor living space for the residents. The proposed re-use of the upstairs tenancy
does not limit the business opportunities on ground level - consistent with the Performance Outcome
PO41.
Figure 3: Proposal floor plan including balcony

4.4 Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code
The Overall Outcomes of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling code are to ensure dual
occupancies are of a high-quality design with respect to the local character, built form & amenity of
the local plan area. Dual occupancies are a consistent use within the District Centre Zone, where in
conjunction with a mixed-use format and where neither dwelling has a gross floor area exceeding
100m2.
The existing retail uses on the ground level of the building support the mixed-use format of the
development. Minor enhancements to the upper-level balcony create privacy and amenity for
residents and street users with respect to the local character of the local plan area. The development
is consistent with the relevant outcomes of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code.
An assessment against each of the relevant performance and acceptable outcomes are included in
Appendix 3. with further comment provided below.
Private Open Space
PO11
Private open space:
(a) is provided to all dwellings and is adequate in size, shape and dimensions to suit the needs
of the occupants;
(b) receives adequate sunlight; and
(c) is designed and orientated to ensure privacy is maintained between uses.
AO11.1
Private open space is provided for each dwelling at the following rate:
at ground level—a minimum of 25m² directly accessed from living spaces; or
if above ground level—12m² with a minimum width of 2.5 metres accessed directly from the living
spaces.
OR
AO11.2
Private open space is provided for each small dwelling at the following rate:
at ground level—a minimum of 20m² directly accessed from living spaces and exclusive of clothes
drying area; or
if above ground level—9m² with a minimum width of 2.5 metres accessed directly from the living
spaces
AO11.3
Private open space contributing to the above calculations has a maximum gradient of 10% (1 in 10)
and is clear of any utilities such as gas, water tanks and air conditioning units.
Although the development does not meet the Acceptable Outcome for 2.5m minimum width of
balconies (provided 2m as shown in Figure. 3 above), the existing balcony is 12m2 and provides
sufficient private outdoor living space for the residents. The balcony is orientated to the north
receiving adequate sunlight and designed with privacy screens to maintain privacy for residents. The
proposed re-use of the upstairs tenancy does not limit the business opportunities on ground level -
consistent with the Performance Outcome PO11.

Car Parking
PO13
Sufficient on-site car parking is provided to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to be
generated by the residential use without impacting on the safety or amenity of the adjoining streets.
AO13
Car parking is provided in accordance with Table 9.4.1.4 in the Driveways and Parking Code
The existing development provides for 10 car parking spaces with two proposed for residential use
to be enclosed. The remaining shops will include 162m2 of retail space, this equates to 8 car parking
spaces being required (1 space per 20m2).The dual occupancy attracts a car parking rate of 1
covered space per unit and 1 for visitors. The total carpark demand for the site is 11 car spaces.
Although not meeting the car parking AO, there is sufficient car parking at the rear of the site for
visitors to utilise the 8 spaces for the shops considering the land use.
4.5 Works Code
The site is connected to all existing services and does not propose any additional operational works.
The associated issue in regards to carparking is addressed as part of item 4.4 above.
Only building works for the carport and fitout including changes in classification are proposed.
Preliminary advise has been obtained from a building certifier which informs the layout of the units
and exits. Stormwater for the new carport can be conditioned to comply as part of the building works
approval as the area is covering existing hardstand area.

5.1.2 State Planning Policy
The SPP includes assessment benchmarks that may be applicable where a local government
planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The Noosa Plan 2020 appropriately
integrates all SPP provisions, except for Natural Hazards, risk and resilience – coastal hazards – in
part. The site is not affected by the provisions.
