Bounce Noosa - Other Change Planning Report · MCU18/0102.02

6.   Conclusions

The proposal is inconsistent in the zone but fully complies with all the relevant criteria set out in the
Planning Scheme.

The use is in a centrally located courtyard surrounded by 150mm thick concrete walls which provides
a high value acoustic barrier to contain any noise created by the uses.

The proposal simply seeks approval to operate as the resort has done for the past 12 months under
the Temporary Use Permit. It is considered this report and the operators have demonstrated that
the inclusion of non-staying guests onto the premises, does not negatively impact on the
surrounding resident’s amenity. To the Bounce managements credit, the primary submitter against
the original development has provided a letter of support (lives to the rear of the site) for this other
change application.

Car parking fully complies with the code, as 3 car spaces and 3 motorcycle spaces were provided
as a result of the original development but were not attributed to the car parking calculation. These
spaces are now included and equate to the necessary number of spaces required for the use, as if
it were a standalone use. Notwithstanding this, the Carpark Circulation Count provided clearly
shows that over a 7 day period with occupancies between 90 – 100%, 6 days out of 7 there was at
least 6 vacant car parking spaces available for use, which were surplus to current requirements and
uses.

The proposed Other Change is recommended for approval on the following grounds:

     •   The resort has been operating as a Food and Drink Outlet under the Temporary Use Permit
         for more than 12 months.

     •   The resort has demonstrated it can operate with non-staying guests onsite consuming food
         and drinks without any negative amenity impacts to surrounding residential uses.

     •   Existing kitchen and café facilities are used.

     •   Existing conditions of approval provide sufficient regulatory controls if the management
         were to change.

     •   Car parking is provided by the original development with 3 car spaces and 3 motorcycle
         spaces provided on-street directly in front of the development. Noting these spaces were
         not attributed to the parking calculation of the original development but are now sought to
         be used.

     •   Basement car parking is significantly underutilised and could be used for patrons if needed.

We look forward to Council processing the application at its earliest convenience. Should you
require any additional information or have any queries please to not hesitate to contact us.
