1.Summary
Fiddlewood Pty LTD ATF Fiddlewood Unit Trust TA Noosa Pots & Plants (the Applicant) has engaged RG
Strategic to seek a development approval for a Material Change of Use to establish a wholesale supply
warehouse and garden centre (Industrial Business - Type 1 Warehouse & Retail Business – Type 7 Garden
Centre).
The subject site comprises a rectangular parcel of land located at 124 Eumundi Noosa Road, Noosaville and is
formally described as Lot 3 on RP 173877, as shown on Figure 1 Site Location Plan.
The site is included in the Industrial Zone within the Noosaville Locality of the Noosa Plan 2017. An application
of this nature within the Industrial Zone triggers Impact Assessment.
The proposed development of this site constitutes ‘development’ as defined by Schedule 2 of the Planning Act
2016. This report demonstrates that the proposed Material Change of Use of Premises for an Industrial
Business - Type 1 Warehouse and Retail Business – Type 7 Garden Centre on the site is permitted.
The building is largely constructed from insulated panelling and the site has been previously cleared of all
native vegetation. No alterations to the external built form are proposed.
The purpose of this application is to formalise the current nonconforming use as an industrial warehouse and
garden centre (Noosa Pots and Plants).
This planning report provides greater detail of the nature of the proposal, describes the site characteristics and
surrounding land uses, and provides a statutory assessment against the intents and code requirements of the
Planning Scheme. These matters are set out in;
    •   Proposed development intent;
    •   Description of the characteristics of site and surrounds;
    •   Proposed development details;
    •   An assessment of the proposal against the State planning interests;
    •   An assessment of the proposal against the SEQ Regional Plan;
    •   An assessment of the proposal against the Noosa Plan 2017; and
    •   A conclusion that provides summary grounds which support the proposed Material Change of Use.


This report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying covering letter, Development Application
Form, Site Plan (Appendix A) and Landscaping Plan (Appendix B). A code assessment has been carried out in
relation to the proposed development and is detailed within Appendix C. The issues relevant to the site and
the proposed development have been adequately addressed in this report.
The proposed Type 1 Warehouse and Type 7 Garden Centre aligns with Council’s strategic vision for the site
and is consistent with the intent of the Planning Scheme. It is therefore recommended that the development
be approved, subject to relevant and reasonable conditions.
