           life cycle costing of the system attached as an addendum. Records of all maintenance
           activities undertaken must be kept and made available to Council upon request.
     59.   Any proposed Community Management Statement required for the development must
           include the Water by Design (2009) – Maintaining Vegetated Stormwater Assets
           (Version 1) document and must include the full cost of maintaining the system in
           accordance with that document.
     60.   All water quality treatment features must include signage that states “This stormwater
           Quality Feature reduces nutrients flowing to Mary River, which drains to the Great
           Barrier Reef.” The application for Operational Works must include signage design and
           demonstrates how it is consistent with Noosa Design Principles.
           Stormwater Harvesting
     61.   Operating rainwater collection and harvesting tanks must be provided as shown in
           Section 4.2.2 and Section 5 of the Stormwater Quality Management Plan version 0
           prepared by Callahan and Toth and dated August 2019. The tanks must be provided

     62.   Operating stormwater harvesting tanks must be provided for the development. The
           tanks must be provided in accordance with approved plans and must include capacity,
           catchment, distribution and reuse as detailed in Section 4.2.2 and Section 5 of the
           approved Stormwater Quality Management Plan version 0, prepared by Callahan and

B.   Find the following matters relevant to the assessment and sufficient reason to approve the
     application:
     1.    The previous infrastructure use has been abandoned and given the site is surrounded
           by business centre type uses, the mixed use development is a logical reuse of the land.
     2.    The proposed commercial, retail and residential uses are consistent with the
           surrounding zoning and land use pattern.
     3.     The proposed development is consistent with the Noosa Plan 2020, with the site now
           zoned District Centre.
C.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.


REPORT
1.   PROPOSAL
The proposal seeks approval for a mixed use development consisting of a convenience shop and
offices on street level and 4 small dwelling units on the first floor. The proposal is split into 2
buildings separated by a vehicle access driveway.
To the east of the driveway is proposed 1 larger tenancy of 350m² for a convenience shop and to
the west of the driveway 5 x 66m² commercial tenancies with the multiple housing above. The 4
small dwellings are proposed between 80m² and 85m² gross floor area (GFA) each and would be
accessed from the rear of the building.
The development proposes a zero setback to the street boundary for ground floor tenancies and
between 1m and 3.3m to the small dwellings on the upper level. Ground floor side setbacks
proposed are 0.6m to the eastern boundary and 0.25m to the western boundary.
The proposal consists of a country style pitched corrugated iron roof with external materials
proposed, including a mix of face brick, horizontal expressed joint cladding, vertical timber look
battening, painted masonry, and a cantilevered 2.5m wide street awning with non-structural timber
feature posts.
Pedestrian access is provided to Diamond Lane with no vehicle access proposed to the Lane.
