            Gympie Terrace and it is unlikely that a person would make a valid submission objecting to
            an additional restaurant in the area.

         (d) cause development to which the approval relates to include any prohibited development.

              Not prohibited development.

The proposal is therefore considered to be able to be considered as permissible change.


Noosa Plan

The site is included in the Noosaville Locality which provides a Visitor Mixed Use zoning over the
property. The proposal has triggered assessment due to the change in the floor area and the
calculation of carparking for the use. The existing restaurant approval did not require any additional
carparking due to the kitchen configuration.


The Noosa Plan 2006 details car parking for Entertainment & dining business at a rate of 1 space
per 10m2,or part thereof, of use area and outdoor dining area (excluding kitchen and food storage
areas) on the property…

The existing approved restaurant layout has the following areas and carparking calculations:

    •
                       2
         Kitchen: 28m               - Nil car parking spaces
    •
                          2
         Dining area: 28m           - 3 car parking spaces
    •
                             2
         Outdoor dining: 12m        - Nil area already approved and assessed for outdoor dining

The revised layout results in the following areas:

    •
                       2
         Kitchen: 13m               - Nil car parking spaces
    •
                          2
         Dining area: 32m           - 3.2 car parking spaces
    •
                             2
         Outdoor dining: 10m        - Nil area already approved and assessed for outdoor dining

The revised calculations have not included the pedestrian accessways surrounding the kitchen that are
required for access to the amenities outside the premises.

The revised kitchen layout triggers the requirement for part of one additional carparking space to be
provided on site however due to the existing development on the site there is not available room for any
additional carparking or scooter parking.

The proposal does not increase floor area or site cover as it is located within the boundaries of the existing
approved building. The change provides for a more efficient and functional kitchen layout and has no impact
on the amenity of the area. Further it is noted that when the site was originally approved in 2005, no
recognition was given to the fact that due to the removal of driveways to Gympie Terrace two additional
public carparking spaces were created in the road reserve.

The proposed works have been reviewed against Specific Outcome O7 of Driveways and Carparking Code
and is considered to comply with the code as detailed below:

        O7
        Sufficient carparking is provided to accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to be
        generated by the development having regard to the specifics of the use including—

           a) the type and intensity of land use; - Premises already approved for use as a restaurant.
           Minor increase in dining area does not significantly impact on the carparking associated with
           the restaurant use.
