         manufactured, dismantled, altered, repackaged, repaired or stored at a scale of greater than that defined by retail
         business. The use includes the sale of goods, resulting from such operations, provided that sales space does not
         exceed 20% of the use area. Any space dedicated for administration or accounting work in connection with such
         operations does not exceed 20% of the use area. The term includes the following types:

           Type 1 Warehouse: The use of premises for the storage of goods, merchandise or materials in large stocks
           (whether or not such storage is required for an adjoining shop or other commercial premises), pending their
           distribution or wholesale. The use includes a warehouse or self-storage facility.


The proposed use is consistent with the above scheme definition and Type 1 Warehouse uses are
indicated as being consistent code assessable uses in the Industry zone in which the site is contained.

The Noosa Plan 2006 indicates that Industrial Building Type 1 are to comply with the following
codes:

            •    Noosaville Locality Code;
            •    Business Uses Code;
            •    Landscaping Code; and
            •    Engineering Works Codes.

The proposal has been reviewed against the Noosaville Locality Code in Attachment 2 and is generally
considered to comply with the specific outcomes.

The proposal complies with the Business Uses Code as the proposed extensions and use are consistent
with the provisions of the code. With regard to waste disposal it is noted that only two wheelie bins are
required on site for waste generated by the office. Patrons of the storage sheds are not able to dispose of
rubbish on site. The premises are also appropriately lit and well secured.

The proposal has also been reviewed against the Engineering Works codes and is considered to be
consistent with detailed requirements.

The applicant is currently preparing a landscape plan for the site which will be submitted shortly.
