Bounce Noosa - Other Change Planning Report · MCU18/0102.02

3. Development Intent – Proposed Change

The applicant is proposing an ‘other change’ to the approval to include a Food and Drink Outlet.
This is to allow for external guests (non-staying) to attend the site for the consumption of food and
beverages sold on site. Noting the café, sundeck and associated facilities within the resort will be
non-exclusive and will be used for both staying and non-staying guests.

No building work is required for the Food and Drink Outlet to operate with the existing kitchen and
café bar area utilised for food and drink preparation. These areas are lawful to offer food and
beverages with relevant approvals in place (food licences and liquor licence from the Office of Liquor
and Gaming Regulation).

The key aspects of the development are:

     •   No change to the current operation as the Resort has been lawfully operating since
         December 2021 under the Temporary Use Permit (current until June 2023) which permits non-
         staying guests to attend the site and consume food and beverages. Noting that no
         complaints from surrounding residents have been registered by Council in this time. The
         proposal only seeks to operate in this way on a permanent basis.

     •   The operator has demonstrated over the year that external guests can visit the site without
         any negative impacts on surrounding residents.

     •   A manager lives onsite and is available 24 hours.

     •   No car parking or traffic issues have been created or raised in this period of the Temporary
         Use Permit. Importantly, this application is requesting that the 3 car spaces and 3
         motorcycle spaces created on street as part of the original approval are included in the car
         parking calculation for the Food and Drink Outlet Use.

This request includes the following changes to the conditions of approval.

Delete condition 5 – it is superfluous as the approval clearly sets out the use.

Amendment condition 8 to read:

8.       The café, sundeck and associated facilities within the resort, as indicated on the approved
         plans, is approved to be used by resort guests and non-staying guests associated with the
         Food and Drink Outlet use.
8.       The café, pool and sundeck must only be available for the residents of the visitor
         accommodation use and must not permitted for use by persons not staying in the visitor
         hostel.
