SOFT DRINK FACTORY WITHIN AN EXISTING BUILDING
271 LAKE MACDONALD DRIVE, LAKE MACDONALD                                                                         23

6      Conclusion and Recommendations
62.    This planning report demonstrates that approval of the proposed extension to an existing Material Change
       of Use for an Industrial Business (Type 2) to extend Wimmers Soft Drink Factory at 271 Lake Macdonald
       Drive, Lake Macdonald is warranted, subject to reasonable and relevant conditions on the following basis:

               The proposal demonstrates sufficient grounds for approval, in particular with respect to the
                conflicts with the Rural Zone and Regional Landscape and Rural Land Area designations;
               The proposed development complies with the relevant State Planning Instruments and
                State Development Assessment Provisions;
               The proposed extension of 3,021m2 will allow for an increase in manufacturing and
                storage areas and will also provide for an increase in production as required during peak
                operations. An exact estimate of production has not been determined, however will not
                exceed more than 20,000 tonnes annually;
               The proposed development generally complies with the provisions set out in the
                applicable Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality and Rural Zone Code of The Noosa Plan
                2006. Non-compliance with the land use intent, building height, and the applicable codes
                has been appropriately addressed by way of providing an alternative solution through the
                incorporation of mitigation measures, which will not result in impacts upon the amenity of
                the surrounding locality;
               The proposed extension is designed to provide high quality standards for health, safety
                and amenity;
               The proposal is located to avoid areas of environmental significance, will not result in the
                clearing of any mapped vegetation and will not result in environmental harm or nuisance;
               The proposal is provided with sufficient on-site vehicle parking, access and manoeuvring
                areas to service employees and visitors of Wimmers Soft Drink Factory. Notably, the
                proposal will not result in an increase to truck movements; and,
               The subject site is serviced by all relevant services (e.g. water, sewerage and
                telecommunications).

63.    On the basis of the assessment contained within this report, it is requested that Council favorably
       consider the development proposal subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
