Dear Jack
CHANGE TO DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL
23 HASTINGS STREET, NOOSA HEADS
I refer to our discussion regarding the carparking implication of the proposed change to the
development approval and respond as follows.
As you have identified, the current approval allows for a use area of 100m 2 for the ground floor
tenancy and does not provide any surplus in carparking provision.
The proposed enclosure of the recessed area along the eastern side of the building will provide for an
additional 11.91m2 of floor area. Having regard to probable solutions S7.1 and S7.2 of the Driveways
and Carparking Code, this potentially triggers the need for an additional carpark or payment of a
monetary contribution in lieu.
In assessing this matter, the project architect Foster Designs has calculated the existing use area of
the ground floor tenancy from as-built design plans and has advised that the use area is 96.5m 2. This
means that the existing and proposed total use area is 108.41m 2. Based on a carparking requirement
of 1 space per 20m2 under table 14-51, this results in the need for an additional 0.42 of a carpark.
S7.1 and S7.2 are probable solutions only and represent one way of satisfying the Specific Outcome.
It is not considered that the additional 0.42 of a carpark justifies the need for either an additional
carpark or contribution under S7.1 or S7.2 to achieve compliance with specific outcome O7.
O7 Sufficient carparking is provided to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to be
generated by the development having regard to the specifics of the use including—
a) the type and intensity of land use;
b) any existing parking available on the site;
c) hours of operation;
d) likely numbers of users;
e) the peak parking demand periods of uses on the site; and
f) the availability of alternative carparking.

Compliance with specific outcome O7 is achieved as follows:
The proposed minor floor area extension of will not result in an intensification of the use. No
additional employees or sales will result, with the area only providing more room and amenity for
the current operation;
The real estate business is not a typical real estate business in the sense of the ‘high end’ sales
product and market. The business specialises in the Noosa Heads market, with national sales and
a high proportion of absentee buyers. Walks ins are people who are already holidaying in
Hastings Street;
The real estate office services the 3 residential units within the building. This means that when
the units are vacant, the unit carparks are available for use by the real estate office;
The existing carparking provided for the use is therefore sufficient to accommodate the minor
extension to use area in accordance with O7.
Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me direct.
Yours faithfully
