Bounce Noosa - Other Change Planning Report · MCU18/0102.02

5.   Planning Assessment

5.1 Development Codes

Strategic Framework

While the application for a Food and Drink Outlet is inconsistent and requires impact assessment
subject to the whole of the Planning Scheme, assessment is limited given there are only 2 key matters
raised, noise (amenity of surrounding residents) and carparking. An assessment of need is not
considered appropriate in this instance given that the use is minor in nature and scale and one that
is generally located in a resort such as Bounce.

An assessment is provided against the relevant provisions of the Noosaville Local Plan Code, the
District Centre Zone Code and the Driveways and Parking Code below and in Table 1.

Amenity

The subject site is unique as the short-term accommodation (STA) is an inconsistent use in the
Precinct except for on the subject site where STA is identified specially as a consistent use. The
proposed Food and Drink Outlet is a use which is ordinarily seen in a resort of this type and used for
guests and non-staying guests. A business model required for commercial sustainability. The
following list provides a few of the resorts which offer food and beverages to the public, most of
which are in residential zones and subject to the same potential impacts as this proposal. The list
demonstrates that Food and Drink Outlets can be successfully integrated into resorts in residential
areas without negative impacts on surrounding residents or guests. Some examples (not an
exhaustive list) around the Shire are:

     •   The Islander Resort Noosa has multiple food and drink offerings located along Thomas
         Street and Gympie Terrace;

     •   Da Vos, while not all STA is a situation where residential coincides with Food and Drink
         Outlets;

     •   South Pacific Resort has both permanent and visitors accommodation and offers a busy
         Thai, Izzy Chai;

     •   RACV resort has 2 food and drink offerings, Arcuri Restaurant and Dazza’s Bar;

     •   Noosa Blue Resort offers Pressed@Blue a fully licenced café;

     •   Noosa Lakes Resort - Nguyen Brothers Vietnamese restaurant.
