Ref:  INFORMATION REQUEST RESPOSNE under the Planning Act 2016


Application No. MCU20/0067

Street Address: 6/11 Bartlett Rd Noosaville Qld 4566

Real Property Description: Lot 6 SP 190837

Planning Scheme: The Noosa Plan (8 June 2018)



The information requested and response is set out below:



Issue

The plans refer to Tenancy 3 & Tenancy 6. The application has been made over Tenancy 6.



Information Required



1. Clarify which Tenancy is subject to the application and amend plans/application where

applicable.



  *   Confirming Tenancy 6  - the Tenancy 3 was just a typo.





Issue

Not all activities or uses in an industry or commercial zone are of a nature that requires 24 hour security or a maintenance requirement that justifies personnel to be living on site. No information has been provided in the application material to demonstrate the need for an ancillary dwelling unit for a caretaker’s residence in this location. The definition of a Caretaker’s residence means: a dwelling unit situated on the same premises as a business use, community use or infrastructure use where it is occupied by the owner or employee of the business or operation for reasons of ensuring security and maintenance of the business or operation.



Information Required



2. Provide a statement or business plan that details the type of business that is or will be lawfully operating from Lot 6 on SP190837 describing the activities which justify the need

for a caretaker in residence on the property.



  *   My client operates a building company from the shed. The owner stores the company building material and tools that employees pickup and drop off before and after  each job – often very early in the morning and late into the evening.  The company often meet clients before and after business hours at the premises making the business day long.  My client is often required to work into the evenings and over the weekend from the premises - cleaning up and preparing for the coming week and he often needs to be onsite for the delivery of building materials before and after business hours during the week.   The caretakes residence is a fatigue strategy for the owner!  The owner works long hours, the onsite accommodation will be valuable to his health and reduce travel fatigue when required.






3. Confirm if there are any existing caretaker’s residence operating on the site across all tenancies.

Issue.



  *   There is no existing caretakers in the overall development or (night Security) the proposed care takers residence will be a positive externality to the other Tenancies.





The proposal appears to include additional use areas (storage). Additional use area triggers additional parking requirements.



Information Required



4. The plans advise there is an additional 97m2 for the storage and caretaker’s residence, bringing a total proposed floor area of 3719m2 (existing 3622m2). The town planning

report and existing approval refers to existing non-residential GFA of 211m2 for Tenancy



  *   Pease refer to amended plans for clarification.



5. Confirm existing and additional floor space.



  *   Please note – we are only seeking approval of the caretakers residence GFA.  The additional storage on the mezzanine will be considered minor building work and will be certified by a building certifier.



  *   Please refer to amended plans


6. Confirm the available car spaces accord with Noosa Plans car parking provision to accommodate all the approved uses on site, including the additional floor space proposed for storage and the caretakers.


  *   Minor building work for the additional storage space is considered Minor building work and will not trigger the need for additional carparking.


  *   The site has ample onsite parking under the original development ( 78 Shared carparks between 7 tenancies–  Please not onsite parking is not constrained at this location.


  *   The owners work vehicle can be parked inside the shed at night if required and during inclement weather.  Reaffirming, undercover parking can be provided inside the premises for the caretakers residence.


  *   Note:  When my client needs to stay in the accommodation overnight, the site 78 shared carpark is empty.





Please note that any additional use area (and including the care taker’s residence) will incur infrastructure charges.



  *   The minor  building work does not incur infrastructure charges.  We understand the caretakers residence will incur infrastructure charges.

All information requested has been responded to – please progress with the DA assessment.
