PROJECT URBAN – 16216                                                                   February 2017


2.0 INTRODUCTION

This Town Planning Report has been prepared by Project Urban on behalf of the applicant,
Doonella Street Pty Ltd. The report is submitted to Noosa Council as part of the common material
for a development application that seeks approval to redevelop 30 - 32 Doonella Street, Tewantin
to provide ten (10) Multiple Housing Type 4 Conventional and two commercial buildings that the
application seeks consent to use either as Type 1 Offices or Type 2 Medical.

The subject site is located within the Tewantin & Doonan Locality and forms part of the
Community Services Zone in the Noosa Plan 2006. Although the site already accommodates a
total of seven (7) residential properties, the proposed conventional Multiple Housing Type 4, is an
inconsistent use in the Community Services Zone and as such, the application is impact
assessable. Both the proposed commercial uses are identified in the Assessment table for the
zone as code assessable uses on the application site.

Council records will show that a material change of use for Multiple Housing Type 4 (16 units)
was approved on the site on 23 October 2015.

The applicant has had a number of pre-lodgement meetings with Council Officers to discuss the
proposed development. The current development proposal has been refined to respond to the
feedback provided by Council Officer’s at these pre-lodgement meetings.

The purpose of this town planning report is to explain the proposed development, describe the
application site and its locality, and provide an assessment of the proposal against the relevant
planning documents which include the:

      •    State Planning Regulatory Provisions;
      •    State Planning Policies; and
      •    Noosa Plan 2006.

This Town Planning Report concludes that whilst the proposed Multiple Housing is not
consistent with the Council’s intent for the site, given that there is an existing approval for 16
residential units on the site, there are sufficient planning grounds to overcome this apparent
conflict with the Noosa Plan. On this basis, it is concluded that the application should be
approved subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
