The Proposal

The applicants’ are requesting a change to the existing approval of the Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving
Club, the original of which was approved in April 2005 under Council Ref 2004/4078 - indoor
Entertainment.

The most recent changes to the Club approved by Council in November 2007 involved significant
renovations of both the ground floor ‘actives’ area and the upper floor restaurant, kitchen, TAB and
gaming areas. The applicant now seeks a further change to the existing Material Change of Use
approval to enable a small extension of the existing restaurant facilities. This extension is to provide
for a small coffee servery to be located at the ground level. Middap Ditchfield Pty Ltd has prepared
proposal plans for the proposed extension, which are included in Appendix A.

The existing restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week and in the past, there
has been some congestion between patrons wanting coffee and patrons who are dining on the site.
As a result, the applicant is seeking approval to extend the existing restaurant through the location of
a coffee servery area on the ground level. This servery area will be located in front of the kitchen on
the ground floor level and have an area of 15m. This area is currently used by lifesavers as a
seating and gathering area however, the servery will not impact on the overall use of this area for
lifesaving facilities.

The servery will have similar operating hours to the restaurant and will sell coffee and pre-packaged
biscuits. One to two persons will attend the servery dependant on demand.

Integrated Planning Act

The Integrated Planning Act defines a minor change as:

minor change, for a development approval, means a change to the approval that would not, if
the application for the approval were remade including the change—
(a) require referral to additional concurrence agencies; or
(b) cause development previously requiring only code assessment to require impact
assessment; or
(c) for a development requiring impact assessment—be likely, in the assessment manager's
opinion, to cause a person to make a properly made submission objecting to the proposal, if
the circumstances allowed.

The proposal is considered to fulfill the requirements of the Act, as the changes are minor and do
not required referral to additional concurrence agencies, does not change the level of assessment
and would not cause any person to object to the proposal. It is noted that submissions received to
the origina! application related to the impacts of the expansion of the Clubhouse on residents to the
east of the site. The proposed servery is located underneath the building and will not be visible to
surrounding residential areas.
