         3.1       Applicable Codes

In accordance with the Noosa Plan, the development is required to be assessed against the provisions of
the entire Noosa Plan. The Codes that are most relevant with regard to this proposal include the Noosa
Heads Locality Code, Business Uses Code and Landscaping Code. A summary review of the proposal
against these codes is detailed below:

         Noosa Heads Locality Code

         The proposal complies with the Specific Outcomes of the Noosa Heads Locality Code and proposes
         no new building works and is well located with regard to pedestrian and bicycle paths. The use
         involves a change to an existing commercial tenancy to allow another commercial use in the
         premises.

         Business Uses Code

         The proposal has been reviewed against the provisions of the Business Uses code and is considered
         to comply with the requirements of the Code. With regard to bicycle parking it is noted that an office
         use has a greater requirement for the provision of bicycle parking and therefore no additional spaces
         are required to be provided on site.

         Landscaping Code

         A review of the proposal against the Landscaping Code indicates that it generally complies with the
         Code. No alteration to the existing grounds are proposed.


A review of the proposal against the Works Code with regard to carparking indicates that a Type 2 - Shop
                                                            2                             2
and Salon has minimum requirements of one space per 20m of use area for the first 100m and one space
         2                        2                                                             2
per 15m of use area over 100m . A Type 1 Office use is required to provide 1 space per 20m , or part
                                                                 2
thereof, of use area. Therefore as the proposed use area is 100m no additional carparking is required for
the development.
