Planning Statement and plans · 132004.240098

          b) any existing parking available on the site; - Sufficient carparking provided on site for staff
          with patrons encouraged to utilise the existing 17 visitor car parking spaces at the rear of the
          site.

          c) hours of operation; - The minor increase does not impact on hours of operation.

          d) likely numbers of users; - Due to the change in layout of the kitchen the dining area has
          been increased slightly however pedestrian accessways into the restaurant and external
          public amenities reduce the actual restaurant floor area.

          e) the peak parking demand periods of uses on the site; - the minor increase to the
          restaurant will not have a significant impact on the peak operating times of the restaurant.

          f ) the availability of alternative carparking – Kerb side carparking including scooter parking
          is available on both the northern and southern sides of Gympie Terrace. This kerbside
          parking generally supports the commercial and recreational users of Gympie Terrace.

As detailed above the proposed increase is relatively minor and has limited impact upon carparking
demands associated with the restaurant. The subject site provides 17 visitor spaces that are able to used as
part of the restaurant whilst the surrounding area also provides on street carparking. It is also noted that as
part of the original development no credit was ever given to the creation of two additional on street spaces
due to removal of two access driveways.


CONCLUSION
The request to change the approved plans for the restaurant use to enable a different configuration of the
kitchen does not alter the approved use or impacts from the site. Whilst additional carparking is triggered by
the minor increase under the Noosa Plan, there is sufficient carparking in the area and on site to cater for
the minor change.

It is considered the proposed changes are consistent with the provisions of the Sustainable Planning Act
and the applicant seeks Council support for the proposal.

The attached development application includes:

               Proposal plans prepared by Andrew McKellar Design;

               A completed Noosa Council Request to Change Existing Approval and/or Extension of
               Relevant Period form; and

               Councils application fee of $1625.00 will be paid separately.


The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is therefore
recommended. Please contact our Sunshine Coast office if you require any further information and/or
clarification with respect to the above application.
