KHA DEVELOPMENT MANAGERS                                                        TOWN PLANNING REPORT 100407




4.0 PROPOSAL

The proposal is for a Convenience Centre in accordance with the Proposal Plans prepared by Donovan
Hill, included in Attachment 1. The application seeks a Development Permit for Material Change of
Use to for Retail Business Type 2 Shop and Salon; Entertainment and Dining Business Type 1 Food
and Beverages; and Commercial Business Type 1 Office.

The development will establish a Convenience Centre with a mix of commercial uses including a
variety of food outlets, cafes, bakery, delicatessen, general store and a bank. A total of eight (8)
tenancies are proposed, ranging in area from 73m² to 165m², with a total use area of 1,013m2.
Indicative tenancy use is tenancy 1 and deck – cafe, tenancy 2 – bakery, tenancy 3 general store,
tenancy 4 – bank, tenancies 5 to 7 – food outlets, and tenancy 8 and deck – food outlet, although it
is intended that the use mix be flexible and not specific to any particular tenancy.

For the purposes of application fee determination the proposed uses have been allocated as:
 Retail Business Type 2 Shop and Tenancies 1 - 3 & 5 - 8           804m2
 Salon
 Entertainment and Dining Business Tenancies 1 & 8 Decks           98m2
 Type 1 Food and Beverages
 Commercial Business Type 1 Office       Tenancy 4                 111m2

The convenience centre will operate 7 days a week. While it is proposed to allow the general store
the option to operate 24 hours per day, the other shops and food outlets will not open outside the
hours of 6am to 10pm.

Background
The purpose of the application is to replace the existing commercial use (Nursery) and establish a
convenience centre that will service the local community. This proposal is in response to an identified
deficiency in convenience retail facilities in Noosaville and the need for local facilities that have
extended hours of operation to serve the local resident and visitor population and provide a greater
choice of shops and food services.

It is anticipated that the development will ultimately create somewhere in the vicinity of 40 - 50
permanent jobs and numerous additional temporary jobs (construction, and ongoing maintenance,
body corporate etc).

Site Layout and Built Form

The design intent is detailed in the Architectural Design Report prepared by Donovan Hill Architects,
included in Attachment 3. In summary, a single storey commercial development is proposed that
includes eight (8) tenancies, carparking and associated facilities. The building is sited to the rear of
the property to buffer the adjoining residential and create a legible built form and carparking area
easily visible and accessible from the street frontage, set amount existing and proposed landscape.
The building is sited to maintain a presence to the street front with the majority of the building
setback so as to not dominate the street edge.

The layout provides the optimal buffering to the adjoining residential uses; a clearly visible, accessible
and user friendly centre for customers; and optimal causal surveillance opportunities to the street
frontages.
