M AT T E R S T O R E S O L V E
This document responds to the assessment benchmarks of the Noosa Plan 2020, Amendment No. 2, for a
Material Change of Use for a Showroom at 12 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville. The use is impact assessable and
categorised as an inconsistent use under Table 5.5.10, and is therefore assessed against the whole planning
scheme. The tables below respond to each Performance Outcome of the codes most directly engaged. The
grounds relied on for approval despite the conflict are set out at section 12 of the accompanying Town
Planning Report and are not repeated here.
Each table below responds to every Performance Outcome of the code named, in scheme order.
Where an Acceptable Outcome is not met, the response states the departure and the performance
grounds relied on. Matters recorded as "To be resolved" are disclosed rather than asserted as
compliant.
