Town Planning Report

8.0    Conclusion
This Development Application seeks Noosa Shire Council’s approval of the following:
Development Permit for Material Change in Use for Commercial Business – Type 2 Medical
(Doctor’s Practice) over land described as 15 Pearsons Road, Cooroy – Lot 103 SP287641.

The proposed Doctor’s Practice is considered to comply with all State and Local Government
Planning instruments. No conflicts with the planning scheme were identified.

The proposed Doctor’s Practice will assist in providing essential medical care for the Cooroy
community and surrounding regional areas. The location of the proposal is considered to be
appropriate, being within a Business Centre and within close proximity to Cooroy Township,
a large retirement community and residential developments.

The purpose of this application is driven by potential tenant interest in servicing this location
and providing high quality medical services to the local community.

The proposed Doctor’s Practice, if approved, will form an additional approved use to the
Sales Office that currently utilises the existing building on site. We intend to maintain the
current Sales Office approval (MCU15/0119) for Commercial Business Type 1 – Office (Sales
Office) in addition to the proposed Type 2 – Medical (Doctor’s Practice).

Having regard to the tests set out in Section 45 of the Planning Act 2016, it is considered that
the proposed development should be supported and warrants approval by Noosa Shire
Council.
