2.1. Background
The Noosa Business Centre has partly been developed with the Noosa Civic established in
October 2006 as Stage 1. Stage 1 involved the establishment of a discount department store-
based shopping centre of approximately 18,300m2 total use area, along with 7,000m2 total use
area of retail showrooms, a service station and 5,000m2 total use area of commercial office space.
As part of the approval for Stage 1, Lot 3 SP182845 was dedicated as open space to the State.

In 2003, the applicant entered into an Infrastructure Agreement which in part provided for
infrastructure items to be provided by the applicant for the existing and future development of the
land in total. The agreement also included dedication of land as road reserve and for public open
space purposes. Furthermore, the agreement provided that there would be no requirement for
contributions to be paid (by way of conditions imposed on any application) nor pay infrastructure
charges associated with the future development of the land provided that the intensity of
development of a future stage did not exceed that envisaged by MP2.

On 20 February 2020, Council, at its Ordinary meeting resolved to refuse an application to
reconfigure 1 lot into 23 lots. As a result of Council’s decision to refuse the subdivision, the
applicant lodged an appeal to the Planning & Environment Court. During the course of the appeal
a series of without prejudice meetings were held, which resulted in a negotiated settlement on 3
September 2020 which allowed for 1 into 23 lot reconfiguration to proceed subject to conditions.
The works for this subdivision are currently under construction and expected to be fully completed
in next few months.

On 16 September 2021, Council at its Ordinary meeting resolved to agree to a request to assess
an application for Commercial Business Type 1 Office and Commercial Business Type 2 Medical
