Minor Change Request - 101558

2.0       BACKGROUND & OVERVIEW OF ‘PROPOSED CHANGE’


The original Development Approval for an Industrial Business – Type 2 and associated
Operational Works was granted on 2 March 2018, with a Negotiated Decision Notice
subsequently issued on 20 April 2018 (MCU17/0568). The approved development
comprised a total Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 1,992m² and required the provision of 27 car
parking spaces and 6 bicycle parking spaces.

On 5 October 2023, Council approved a Minor Change application to the Development
Approval (MCU17/0568.01), which included:

      •    Retrospective approval for building extensions established at the rear of the
           premises, comprising a beam shop, storage shed, and additional drying shed, with
           a combined area of 366m²; and
      •    A display eco-cottage area located within the north-western corner of the site
           adjacent to the Jarrah Street frontage.

The purpose of the proposed change is to improve site functionality by aligning the
approval with the current as-built site configuration and parking arrangement. Refer to the
Design Plans prepared by Building Suncoast Green, included in Appendix B.

A summary of the proposed changes is provided below:

      •    The approved display village has been removed from the proposal.
      •    The approved drying shed has been removed from the proposal.
      •    The car parking layout has been amended to accurately reflect the existing on-site
           arrangement. The proposed number of parking spaces complies with the parking
           requirements applicable to the site's defined GFA of 708m². Under the current
           Noosa Plan 2020, 12 parking spaces are required. The proposal provides 15
           parking spaces and therefore exceeds the applicable requirement.
      •    In relation to GFA, it is noted that the existing covered beam shed and loading
           areas are unenclosed roofed structures and are therefore excluded from the
           calculation of GFA. Accordingly, only the existing industrial building and storage
           shed contribute to the site's GFA, consistent with the current Noosa Plan and
           Planning Regulation definition of Gross Floor Area:

           "Gross floor area for a building means the total floor area of all storeys of the
           building, measured from the outside of the external walls and the centre of any
           common walls of the building, other than areas used for:
           (a)     building services, plant or equipment;
           (b)     access between levels;
           (c)     a ground floor public lobby;
           (d)     a mall;
           (e)     parking, loading or manoeuvring vehicles; or
           (f)     unenclosed private balconies, whether roofed or not."

As a consequence of the amended proposal, amendments are sought to Conditions 2, 16,
28 and Advisory Note 4, together with the deletion of Conditions 83–86.
