EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This application seeks a Development Approval for a Bar to operate in association with an existing
Distillery known as Seabourne on an industrial site in the Rene Street. The proposed Bar is an
inconsistent use in the Medium Impact Industry zone and entertainment activities are generally not
supported due to the potential for reverse amenity impacts on existing industrial businesses,
parking and traffic conflicts and a reduction in land available for industrial uses.
The Noosa Plan provides support for ancillary uses where they are subordinate to industrial uses
and are small scale, however the area of the use and numbers of patrons and non-compliance with
parking as proposed by the applicant are not considered to meet the relevant provisions and intent
of the industrial zone. It is considered that the imposition of conditions requiring a reduction in
patron numbers and hours of operation will ensure the use remains ancillary to the distillery and
