Since the closure of the Peregian Beach Caravan Park, the greater site (being the whole of Lot 77 on SP231615)
has been the subject of a number of development applications/approvals as follows:


         Development Permit for Material Change of Use (Visitor Accommodation Type 4:Conventional,
         Commercial Business Type 1: Office, Retail Business Type 2: Shop and Salon, and Entertainment and
         Dining Business Type 1: Food and Beverages) issued by the Planning and Environment Court on 12
         February 2010 (Appeal No. 2587 of 2009);


    n    Generally in Accordance advice from Council dated 7 July 2010 incorporating minor changes consistent
         with the aforementioned Court approval;


    n    Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot (4 lots into 1 lot into 3 lots) issued by Council on 29 October
         2010 (note: this approval has not yet been enacted);


         Permissible Change to Development Permit for Material Change of Use (Visitor Accommodation Type 4:
         Conventional, Commercial Business Type 1: Office, Retail Business Type 2: Shop and Salon, and
         Entertainment and Dining Business Type 1: Food and Beverages) issued by the Planning and Environment
         Court on 24 January 2012 (Appeal No. 4783 of 2011). The key change resulting from this approval was to
         split the development into three stages, with the commercial/retail/visitor accommodation building
        fronting David Low Way (and its associated driveway and carparking) comprising Stage 1.


The application for permissible change included the current proposal which is for changes to the commercial
building in Stage 1 to include the addition of juliette balconies to the visitor accommodation and the addition of
outdoor dining to the restaurant. However, the Court ruled that these components did not meet the criteria for a
permissible change under section 367(1)(c) of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 as they were likely to attract a
submission.


In issuing his ruling on 10 February 2012, the Planning and Environment Court Judge advised that, on merit, the
proposed juliette balconies and outdoor dining were supportable. It is these two components that now form the
subject of this development application.




The current Material Change of Use development approval over the site incorporates the following uses within
each stage (refer to drawing no. TP1001 at Appendix A for Site/Staging Plan):


Stage 1:
    n Commercial building fronting David Low Way, including 306m2 of restaurant and 387m2 of retail on the
        ground level and 58 bed visitor accommodation on the upper level; and
    n    Rehabilitation and dedication of park/environmental reserve at the rear of the site.




 PLANNING REPORT - Revision A                         215A - 219 David Low Way, Peregian Beach                        5

                                                                                                    URBAN



Stage 2:
      n     Two visitor accommodation buildings comprising a total of 32 x 3 bedroom apartments and pool/BBQ
            area.


Stage 3:
    n 30 individual beach shacks, comprising a mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom.


The current proposal affects only the commercial building within Stage 1 of the development. Details of the
proposal are as follows (refer also to Appendix A for Architectural Drawings):


      1.    Addition of 13 x juliette balconies to the upper level visitor accommodation, with each balcony measuring
            3.2m wide x 1.2m deep (total area 3.84m2);
      2.    Addition of an outdoor dining area of maximum 70m2 adjacent to the ground/podium level restaurant,
            comprising a 30m2 area fronting David Low Way and a 40m2 fronting the northern boundary and
            adjoining Peregian Beach Hotel.


It is noted that the original development approval granted in February 2010 included a single balcony off the
communal lounge fronting David Low Way, as well as balcony areas to the rear of the building. The current
proposal essentially retains these balconies, with the smaller juliette style balconies added as a new element.


A Noise Amenity Review has been undertaken by MWA Environmental to address any potential noise impacts
arising from the proposed extensions (refer Appendix B). This report concludes that the proposed extensions are
not likely to result in adverse noise impacts on nearby residential dwellings to the north or south of the site,
primarily due to the existing ambient background noise levels.


Carparking to service the outdoor dining area is provided within Stage 1 of the overall development and is located
at the site entry and within the basement of the commercial building. A total of 7 additional carparks were
provided at a rate of 1 space per 10m2 of additional gross floor area (70m), which is consistent with Council's
requirements. This carparking has been endorsed by Council and approved by the Court as part of the previous
permissible change request (Appeal No. 4783 of 2011).


It is noted that the proposed juliette balconies do not constitute gross floor area and therefore do not require
additional carparking.


          SITE IN I

4.1        LAND USE AND ZONING

4.1.1        Development Site

The greater site (being the whole of Lot 77 on SP231615) was formerly occupied by the Peregian Beach Caravan
Park and is now vacant, other than the presence of a small administration/office building which will ultimately be
demolished.

The site the subject of this application (commercial building within Stage 1 only) falls partly within the Semi-
Attached Housing Zone and partly within the Open Space Recreation Zone (refer to Figure 1 below):


                                                                               Detached Housing

                                                                            n Open Space Conservation

The site is located directly opposite the Peregian Beach Village Centre, which comprises a mix of commercial,
residential and dining businesses, many of which have outdoor dining areas. Immediately adjoining the site to
the north is the Peregian Beach Hotel which has a drive-thru bottle shop and carpark at its southern end adjoining
the site.


To the south of the site, is an existing retail premises currently operating as a hardware store. Residential
dwellings exist diagonally to the south-east and also further to the north. The closest residence on the corner of
David Low Way and Grebe St, is separated from the proposed juliette balconies and outdoor dining by a distance
of 46m and 50m respectively.


Figure 2 below shows the site in context with surrounding uses:

5.1       REGIONAL PLANS

The site falls within the Urban Footprint under the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009 - 2031. The
proposal is consistent with the intent of the Urban Footprint.

5.2       PLANNING SCHEME LOCALITY, ZONING AND OVERLAYS

The site falls within the Eastern Beaches Locality and within the Semi-Attached Housing Zone and Open Space
Recreation Zone under the Noosa Plan. The Eastern Beaches Locality Plan provides the level of assessment tables
for the different types of development. Under this Plan, the proposed uses are subject to impact assessment.


The only applicable overlay for the subject site is the Eastern Beaches Natural Hazard: Bushfire and Acid Sulfate
Soils Overlay (Map OM4.4), which shows the site as Low Potential Acid Sulfate Area 5-20m AHD. Given there are
no earthworks required as part of this development, no further assessment in relation to acid sulphate soils has
been undertaken.

5.3       PLANNING SCHEME CODES & POLICIES

The following codes are applicable to this development application:
    n   Eastern Beaches Locality Code
      n    Business Uses Code
      n    Visitor Accommodation Code


The Overall Outcomes of each of the above codes are addressed in Sections 5.3.1 - 5.3.3 below. Due to the minor
nature of the proposal, a full assessment against the Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions of each code has
not been carried out as these criteria relate primarily to the establishment of new uses rather than minor
extensions to existing approved uses.


The key issues of design/character and noise impacts are adequately addressed in the responses to the Overall
Outcomes provided below. Compliance with Table 14-10, Specific Outcome 036/Probable Solutions 536.1- S36.3
of the Business Uses Code in relation to design and operation of the proposed outdoor dining area can be
regulated through conditions of approval. Specifically, it is recommended that the eastern outdoor dining area,
fronting David Low Way, be limited to operating hours of 7am - 10pm.


The provisions of Planning Scheme Policy 14 - Outdoor Dining largely relate to the design, construction and
ongoing operation of the outdoor dining activity rather than the assessment of whether the actual use is
appropriate. Notwithstanding, the policy "recognises that outdoor dining is an integral part of the dining
experience offered..." and seeks to encourage outdoor dining areas and structures that are aesthetically pleasing
and user friendly in locations that "will not result in significant adverse impacts on adjacent uses". The design and
overall appearance of the podium area to be used for outdoor dining was assessed as part of the previous
development application approved by the Planning and Environment Court in 2010 (Appeal No. 2587 of 2009).
The current proposal merely seeks approval to allow the inclusion of tables and chairs outside the approved
restaurant use. Any structures or shelters that are used within this area will be fully compliant with the provisions

5.4        REFERRAL. AGENCY ISSUES

In accordance with Schedule 7 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, the proposed development triggers referral
to the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) for the following matters:

       n    All or part of the premises is in an area for which an area management advice has been given for
            unexploded ordnance (UXO) - Concurrence Agency
       n    Part of the land is within 100m of a conservation estate under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 - Advice
            Agency
       n    Part of the land is situated in a wetland management area - Advice Agency




The application for Extension to Restaurant (to include outdoor dining) and Extension to Visitor Accommodation
(to include juliette balconies) has been assessed against the relevant provisions of the Noosa Plan and is found to
be generally compliant.


The key issues arising from the assessment are design/character and noise impacts. These matters have been
addressed in detail in this report and within the Noise Amenity Review in Appendix B of this report.


Based on this assessment, it is recommended that the proposal be approved, subject to reasonable and relevant
conditions.

Dear Leanne

Re:       Development Application
          Essence of Peregian - Outdoor Dining and Balconies
          Noise Amenity Review


This assessment considers the noise amenity aspects of:

       (i) Proposed Outdoor Dining Areas at the Commercial Building; and
       (ii) Proposed Juliette Balconies to Level 1 accommodation - Commercial
            Building.

To prepare this assessment I conducted an inspection of the site and surrounding
areas on the night of Tuesday 31 January 2012 between 8.15pm and 10.05 pm.
During this inspection I undertook a series of noise measurements adjacent to the
nearest off-site residence being the residence to the Southeast across David Low
Way and concurrently undertook traffic counts of passing traffic on David Low Way
and Grebe Street. Weather conditions during the noise measurements were fine,
with still to light wind conditions.

I also note that on Tuesday night during my inspection that 3 restaurants with outdoor
dining were trading within the retail centre off Grebe Street and one restaurant on the
northern side of Heron Street. The Peregian Beach Hotel was operating with outdoor
dining. I note that the Hotel had approximately 40 seats in the outdoor dining area.

1.0       Ambient Noise Levels

To assess the potential impact of the outdoor dining uses and additional residential
balcony uses I undertook a series of noise measurements . Tuesday night was
selected as being one of the quieter nights of the week in terms of local
restaurant/retail and traffic activity. On this basis, ambient noise level measurements
would be representative of lowest noise conditions through the week with ambient
noise levels expected to be higher over the weekend period with higher visitor
numbers and restaurant and hotel activity. On this basis, the assessment provided is
representative of the low ambient noise conditions, whilst on busier nights such as
during holiday periods and around weekend periods, when restaurant uses are
busier, the ambient noise levels would be higher. The noise measurement location is
shown on Figure 1.

The above demonstates the variability in noise levels with respect to the LA10 whilst
the background noise level LA90 remains relatively constant by comparison.

The variability in the LA10 levels is primarily due to noise from passing traffic on
David Low Way. Traffic counts during noise measurements ranged from 38 cars and
2 buses in 10 minutes down to 13 cars in 10 minutes at 10pm. The reduction in
traffic as the evening progressed is to be expected.

The noise data demonstrates little variation in the ambient background noise level
over the measurement period. This is typical of a coastal location where noise from
surf is a significant influence on the ambient noise environment.

The intrusive noise levels (L10) are shown to decrease as time progresses in the
evening/night. On my inspection, this was predominantly due to decrease in traffic
movements over time.

In summary, the ambient noise environment is typical of a coastal location with
ambient background noise levels primarily influence by surf and breezes.


2.0            Noise Assessment


      2.1 Inclusion of Outdoor Dining Areas (total 70 square metres)

               The architectural plans which depict the proposed changed (Drawing
               WD2002) show two shaded areas proposed for outdoor dining. A 30 square
               metre area is proposed on the eastern facade of the restaurant tenancy area
               at the northern end of the site fronting David Low Way whilst a separate 40
               square metre area is proposed on the northern facade of the same restaurant
               tenancy area.

Re: Essence of Peregian - Development Application                      L03812/PAK/09-047

       In terms of noise amenity impacts, outdoor dining areas generate noise
       primarily from voices and general noise from movement of chairs and
       associated items.

       I have considered the Noosa Planning Scheme Policy 14 - Outdoor
       Dining which includes:

       1.7    Amenity
              a) Outdoor dining is to be in keeping with the character and amenity
                  of the locality.
              b) In existing well established commercial and tourists precincts such
                  as Hastings Street, Sunshine Beach, Noosa Junction and Gympie
                  Terrace, outdoor dining is encouraged.
              c) In other areas assessment of outdoor dining will consider the
                  impact the proposal will have on adjoining residential and other
                  land uses.
       With respect to the above policy the following is relevant:

       The location of the proposed outdoor dining areas is at the northern end of
       the frontage, nearest to the Peregian Beach Hotel which has established
       outdoor dining areas. The surrounding land uses to the east and north of the
       site include retail/commercial uses which include restaurant type uses with
       outdoor dining. Hence, the proposed outdoor dining will be in keeping with
       established uses in the locality.

       The impact of the outdoor dining proposed upon adjoining residential and
       other land uses is considered as follows:

             o   The location of the outdoor dining areas is separated from the nearest
                 existing off-site residential areas which are to the southeast by at least
                 50 metres and separated from the site by the David Low Way.

             o   Proposed on-site residential accommodation will be located
                 immediately above the outdoor dining areas on Level 1 of the
                 commercial building as well as to the west in the proposed Building B.

             o   The primary influence on the ambient noise environment is traffic on
                 the David Low Way which is a well trafficked roadway which results in
                 elevated noise levels at residential areas with frontage to this
                 roadway. Second to traffic noise on the David Low Way is noise
                 generated from existing retail and commercial operations to the north
                 and east including the Peregian Beach Hotel. A further influence on
                 the local noise environment is the weather and surf, being a coastal
                 location, ambient noise levels are elevated due to these sources.

Figure 2 provides an overlay on an aerial photo of the proposed ground floor plan of
the commercial building with the proposed outdoor dining areas shaded.


I have been advised that the 30 square metre outdoor dining area fronting David Low
Way would seat a maximum of 26 persons, whilst the 40 square metre outdoor dining
area would seat a maximum of 30 persons. The Restaurant tenancy area on the
ground level will likely be subdivided into up to 3 separate tenancies with the outdoor
dining areas linked to two of these tenancies.

Re: Essence of Peregian - Development Application                       L03812/PAK/09-047


In considering the noise impact of outdoor dining upon residential amenity I have
prepared the following calculations.


Noise Criteria

To ensure amenity of noise sensitive receptors is maintained, noise from outdoor
dining (ie voices, clattering of plates/cutlery and glassware) should not exceed
ambient background noise level by more than 5 dB(A).

On the basis of the measured ambient noise levels in the evening period which
averaged 47.7 dB(A) with a minimum of 46.6 dB(A) I propose an assessment
criterion of 47 + 5 = 52 dB(A) to 10pm and 44 + 5 = 49 dB(A) to 12 midnight.

These criteria are considered appropriate for residential areas in proximity to the
south/east and north of the site.


Noise Predictions (At Nearest Residence)

Previous studies of outdoor dining areas with up to 50 persons seated, provides a
source noise level of 55 dB(A) at 30 metres.

Calculating the resultant noise level at the nearest residence being the house to the
southeast across the David Low Way, provides the following:

Eastern 30 m2 Outdoor Dining Area

Distance:        50 metres from closest point of outdoor dining area.

Resultant Noise Level from 30 m2 outdoor area at residence;

Resultant Noise Level = 50.5 dB(A)

This is thus below the adopted conservative criterion of 52 dB(A) to 10pm and above
the 49 dB(A) criterion to 12 midnight. Hence my recommendation is that this outdoor
dining area is not used after 10pm.


Northern 40 m2 Outdoor Dining Area

For the 40 m2 outdoor dining area on the northern facade, the resultant noise level
is calculated to be:

Distance = 70 metres
Screening from building = 8 dB(A)

Resultant Level         =       39.6 dB(A)

This is thus below the adopted conservative criterion of 52 dB(A) to 10pm and 49
dB(A) to 12 midnight.

To further the calculations, I have considered the additive noise of the internal areas
of two adjacent restaurant tenancies both with doors open to David Low Way, in
addition to the 30 m2 and 40 m2 outdoor dining areas. My predictions are as follows:


                                             5

Re: Essence of Peregian - Development Application                  L03812/PAK/09-047



Noise from in door restaurant areas (open doors )

Source level   60 dB(A) at 30 metres

Attenuation    Directivity and building opening     -9 dB(A)

Resultant level at nearest residence to southeast   46.5 dB(A)

Add outdoor dining area noise =

46.5 + 50.5 + 39.6            =        51 dB(A).

Thus complying with the 52 dB(A) noise limit to 10pm.

With the 30 m2 outdoor dining area closed after 10pm the resultant noise level with
the northern 40m2 outdoor dining area operating and restaurants with doors open
operating the resultant level would be:

46.5+39.6      = 48 dB(A)

Thus complying with the 49 dB(A) noise limit to 12 midnight.

In summary, detailed noise measurements on a relatively quiet weeknight have
provided conservative noise limits for assessment. The predicted noise levels with
outdoor dining areas demonstrate the noise limits can be readily achieved at the
nearest residence to the south. I have also assessed the impact at residence to the
north which is located beyond the Peregian Beach Hotel at further setbacks than the
house to the southeast considered above. My findings are that resultant noise levels
from restaurant uses with outdoor dining on the site will also comply at the nearest
residences to the north as identified on Figure 1.

Further, in considering the noise from dining in terms of the existing intrusive noise
levels recorded, shows that the 51 dB(A) predicted to 10pm is less than the average
intrusive L10 noise levels of 54.5 dB(A), thus causing minimal impact upon
residential amenity.

On this basis, I confirm my previous advice that on the basis of my assessment I
consider that outdoor dining uses are appropriate on the subject site and are a use
which exists in the local area and is a use which can operate without adverse impact
upon residential amenity.

However, it is my recommendation that the eastern outdoor dining area (30 square
metres) should be restricted in operating hours of 7am 10pm only. The northern
outdoor dining area (40 square metres) has minimal potential to impact upon off-site
residential areas with respect to noise and hence does not require any trading hour
restrictions other than the existing approved trading hours. This statement applies to
residences to the north and south/east with the residences to the north situated at
greater distances and screened by the hotel to the north of the subject site.

   2.2 Proposed Additional Balconies to Commercial Building Level 1
      Accommodation

It is my understanding that a change proposed to the development relates to addition
of small balconies off the accommodation rooms on Level 1 of the Commercial
Building.

These balconies are shown on Figure 3 on the first floor plan overlaid on an aerial
photo base.

I note that the approved plans for the development, as per the 2010 Court Order had
a single balcony off a communal area fronting David Low Way as well as balcony
areas to the rear.

The proposal under consideration is to construct small Juliette style balconies
attached to individual accommodation rooms to provide a private balcony space.
Thus limiting the use to the specific room to which the balcony is attached..

I have considered the noise impact of use of 3.84 m2 balconies and consider that at
this size only two persons could use each balcony. The small size of the Juliette
balconies would be such that very limited noise would be generated on each balcony
and would be limited to 2 persons talking, not for loud parties or groups of people.
The resultant noise at residences to the south/east would be only marginally higher
than if persons were talking within the accommodation rooms with windows open.

The proposal is for nine additional balconies on the southern wing and four on the
northern wing. It is noted that the previously approved balcony on the eastern face of
the southern wing is now proposed to be divided into two balconies, each serving a
single room.

It is my opinion that use of the additional Juliette Balconies will not result in adverse
noise impact at residential areas on the basis of the following:

       Small size, limiting the number of persons on each balcony;
       Each balcony serves a single room;
       The existing noise environment is dominated by noise of the surf and traffic
       noise which from the noise measurements undertaken is quite elevated; and
       Noise from persons talking on the small balconies will not generate significant
       nor adverse noise at residential areas.

On this basis, I consider that use of the Juliette Balconies will not result in adverse
noise amenity impact.

In summary, the proposal for outdoor dining and Juliette balconies will not result in
adverse noise amenity impact. Please contact the undersigned for any clarification
as required.

Yours sincerely
