PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                  8 NOVEMBER 2022


•     the use is located in main street of Pomona and in this regard well serviced by pathways and
      public transport infrastructure; and
•     there is historical evidence that the rear yard area has been used for business purposes
      earlier that than 2006, with a very elderly customer confirming that they held their wedding
      in the yard area in 1937 and another customer confirming that it operated as a ‘milk bar’ in
      the 1970s. Consequently, the proposal would not result in an increased demand to what
      could be reasonably expected throughout the historically of the premises.
The application is considered to meet the performance outcomes of the Driveways and Parking
Code and due to the site constraints, maintenance of the existing building and surrounding
carparking in the township and no further contribution is required.

5.    CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The application seeks approval for a Material Change of Use for an extension to an existing Food
and Drink Outlet at Pomona to formalise the existing outdoor dining areas at the subject site.
The proposed outdoor dining areas and use of the site are consistent with the intent of the zone
and triggers the requirement for the provision of two additional car spaces under The Noosa Plan
2020. The site has no existing onsite carparking spaces nor the ability to provide additional
carparking, however as the use has historically operated successfully without onsite carparking
and taking into consideration the available spaces within the township of Pomona, the proposal is
considered to comply with the Driveways and Car Parking code. The application is recommended
for approval accordingly.
The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
