Development Assessment Report (002) · 51987.44.01

2.     INTRODUCTION

This Development Assessment Report has been prepared to support a Change to
Development Approval (Other Change) to Development Notice Approval (Council
Reference DNA 89) for a Retail Shop in accordance with Section 78 of the Planning
Act 2016.

The current owners purchased the property in 2016 and have recently discovered
that some of the floor areas in use have not been approved. A previous owner
undertook the unapproved works approximately 10 years ago. In association with
renovating the existing building on the property, the owners are also seeking to
rectify the use of these floor areas.

The application seeks a retrospective approval for the enclosure of a 29m2 area of
space adjacent to the Thomas Street frontage and the use of single garage space
that has a total area of 27m2 for retail purposes. The application also seeks approval
for the following uses to occur over the premises:
    • Entertainment and Dining Business Type 1 Food and Beverages.
    • Retail Business Type 2 Shop & Salon.

The subject site is situated at 6 Thomas Street, Noosaville and is described as Lot 1 on
RP161212. Under the Noosa Plan the site is included within the Noosaville Locality
and the Visitor Mix Use Zone. The proposed ‘other change’ is subject to impact
assessment.

This report describes the characteristics of the site and surrounding land uses, details
the proposed development, site history and provides an assessment against the
applicable assessment benchmarks.

This report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying covering letter, DA
Forms and Architectural Plans.
