Minor Change - Planning Report 15.08.2025 · MCU17/0024.03

5.1 Development Codes

The development codes applicable to the proposed Minor Change are:

    •    Coastal Communities Local Plan Code,

    •    Recreation and Open Space Zone Code

    •    Business Uses Code.

When the recommended changes to Condition 8 are fully imposed and the club management complies
with these updated conditions, the club is not expected to generate "unreasonable noise," as explicitly
defined within the Liquor Regulation 2002.

This is achieved through the implementation of Close External Monitoring Location (CEML) noise limits,
which are designed to account for all cumulative noise, including amplified music and patron noise.

These new noise limits and the acoustic assessment supporting them have been accepted and
endorsed by the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR) and are reflected on the club's current
liquor licence.

A thorough review confirms that the proposed Condition 8 fully complies with all relevant Acceptable
Outcomes, Performance Outcomes, and Overall Outcomes, specifically addressing the Amenity and
Safety outcomes of the Business Uses Code.

Ultimately, these proposed changes ensure full compliance with the Noosa Plan 2020 and continue to
protect nearby residents from adverse noise impacts emanating from the club.
