KHA DEVELOPMENT MANAGERS                                                          TOWN PLANNING REPORT 100407




7.0 CONCLUSION

This Town Planning report has been prepared by KHA Development Managers to accompany a
Development Application made by Marquette Bowen Pty Ltd over land at 37 Gibson Road, Noosaville,
described as Lot 1 on RP802167. The development application seeks a Material Change of Use for a
Convenience Centre comprising Retail business Type 2 Shop & salon; Entertainment and dining
business Type 1 Food & beverages; and Commercial business Type 1 Office

The subject site is identified in The Noosa Plan as being within Noosaville Locality and zoned as
Attached Housing. The proposal is a Inconsistent Use, and subject to Impact Assessment under the
provisions of The Plan.

Planning support is justified on the following grounds:

   there is a genuine community need for the proposed development;

   there is significant demand for the facility particularly in light of the existing undersupply of
    convenience retail facilities in the Noosaville area;

   there is a lack of alternative suitably zoned sites in the local area;

   the proposal will increase the range and availability of convenience retailing including food and
    beverage services in the local area;

   the proposal will create additional employment opportunities in the short-term during the
    construction phase as well as the long-term;

   the facility will not jeopardise the vitality or viability or threaten the functional roles and levels of
    service competitive centres provide to the community;

   the proposal will not compromise the overall outcomes for the Noosaville Locality or the retail
    hierarchy of the planning scheme;

   the site is currently used and has historically been used for commercial purposes;

   the proposal can be established without any detrimental impacts to the locality or adjoining
    residential uses; and

   the planning scheme has been partially overtaken by events, for the reasons identified above.

Approval of the application, subject to the imposition of reasonable and relevant conditions is
warranted.
