7            Conclusion
The above development application has been submitted to the Noosa Council as the Assessment Manager of
the application under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. This application seeks a Development Permit for a
Material Change of Use of Premises for a Commercial Business Type 1 Office and Operational works –
Landscaping which is impact and code assessable development respectively under the 2006 Noosa Plan.

This application can be supported on a number of grounds as provided in detail in the above report. These
grounds include:

             •     The proposal involves the reuse of an existing building that was approved for use as a medical
                   centre;

             •     Office uses have similar impacts to that of a medical centre;

             •     No significant new building works are required to accommodate the use on the site;

             •     The proposed transfer of one business use to another will not result in further impacts on
                   adjoining neighbours.

             •     The use will be generally limited to day time operations and will not be reliant on passing traffic for
                   business. Clients will generally attend the site by appointment and the use will not generate high
                   volumes of traffic.


             •     The surrounding land uses and roadways to the site and the characteristics of the locality support
                   the use of the site for offices and the existing medical centre.
