GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                18 JANUARY 2021


The Tewantin Local Plan Code includes the following provisions which are similarly
included in the Waterways Works Code and are most relevant to the proposal.
PO18     Commercial development on or adjacent to the Noosa River:
         a) provides for uses for marine facility purposes only, including water transport and
             boat hire;
         b) is compatible with the scenic values of the waterway;
         c)    provides a high level of amenity, including ensuring low ambient noise levels;
         d)    does not increase the overall scale and intensity of commercial operations;
         e)    ensures no net increase in the gross floor area of building and structures;
         f)    uses materials, natural finishes and colours that blend with the surrounding natural
               landscape; and
         g)  reflects the character and setting of the waterfront locality (such as timber and tin
             construction with a traditional pitched roof design).
PO19 Commercial development on and adjacent to Noosa River is not increased or expanded
       beyond existing building footprints and structures within existing lease areas
AO19.2 Development does not increase the overall building footprint, gross floor area or height of
       buildings or structures associated with commercial jetties.
PO22 Noosa Marina at Parkyn Court:
       a)    provides for the continued operation of the marina moorings, marine based
             businesses and river transport services and ancillary business uses and food and
             drink outlets;
       b)    does not provide residential uses, indoor sport and recreation, nightclub
             entertainment facility; and
       c)    provides required car parking on site.
The proposed development is not fully consistent with the above provisions, as the proposal will
result in an increase in gross floor area of 50m2 for Tenancy 2A. Notwithstanding this, the proposal
will not result in an overall increase to the scale and intensity of commercial operations given the
area was previously approved and used for outdoor dining. Enclosure of this space also has the
potential to better manage amenity impacts for residents on north eastern side of the river opposite.
The building works are in keeping with the existing built infrastructure in the marina and utilise
similar materials and finishes to the existing building.
The proposed conversion of part of the food and drink outlet tenancy for a shop raises no planning
issues and is consistent with other uses in the Marina and provides for the continued operation the
marina moorings and the intent for the marina to include some ancillary type business uses.
The proposed increase in gross floor area for Tenancy 2A will not result in any increase in parking
demands and similarly the conversion from food and drink out to shop attracts the same car parking
rates under the Driveways and Parking Code.
The replacement of the canvas roof with a flyover roof for Tenancy 8A raises no issues.
