MCU22/0051 Representations To Development Approval For Material Change Of Use - Hardware & Trade Supplies At 178 Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville · Attachment 2 - (MCU22/0051) - Planning Officer'S Report

                    Figure 3 – Revised Proposal – Comparison to adjoining buildings.



While the proposed cuts to site the building are substantial, ranging from 1m at the building façade
to approximately 4.3 metres midway along the building on the northern side, the proposed
earthworks are not unlike the earthworks undertaken to construct the existing Bunnings building to
the south and would be expected given the industrial zoning. The proposed earthworks are also
unlikely to significantly impact on the streetscape given the extensive landscaped front setback,
screening afforded by adjoining development, and by the landscaping now proposed along both
side boundaries. Condition 15 which relates to landscaping, has also been amended to provide for
architectural and landscape treatment along the northern boundary.




The amended plans have also appropriately incorporated a 1.2m overhang to the building’s
frontage to provide some visual interest to the Gateway Drive frontage. The applicant’s submission
to amend the conditions to reflect the revised plans is supported.


Condition 5 – Existing Bunnings Warehouse Store
5.   The approved Bunning Warehouse Store on the balance area of the site must be operated
     in accordance with the development approval (07/0256), which includes a significant
     hardware component and trade sales area
Applicant’s Representation
The applicant requested deletion of the condition for reasons detailed below:
The inclusion of this condition is unnecessary and of no utility given the scope of the development
application for the trade centre does not encompass the existing Bunnings Warehouse or anything
relating to the operation of that separate facility. Regardless of this condition Bunnings is bound
by the requirements of the approval 07/0256. The imposition of this condition will cause an
administrative burden to Bunnings and Council should it ever be necessary to amend the 07/0256
approval or should another development approval ever be obtained for redevelopment over that
other part of the site.
