Planning Report - 115 Poinciana Ave · MCU22/0101

1.   Summary

RG Strategic has prepared this development application on behalf of Retail Vending Australia Pty
Ltd (the Applicant). The subject site comprises rectangular shaped parcel of land located at 115
Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin and is formally described as Lot 3 on RP71997 as shown on Figure 1
Subject Site.

The purpose of this report is to seek approval for a Development Permit for a Material Change of
Use for a Food and drink outlet.

The site is included in the District Centre Zone within the Tewantin Local Plan area of the Noosa Plan
2020. An application for the change of use from a bank to a Food and drink outlet in the District
Centre Zone would otherwise be accepted development subject to requirement but the applicant
seeks to expand the rear of the building, triggering a code assessment process.

The proposed use will be located within the existing tenancy and a small extension to utilise the rear
of the lot with outdoor dining, kitchen, bin storage and rear pedestrian access and generous
landscaping. No vegetation exists onsite with the area proposed to be utilised currently grass.

The proposal constitutes ‘development’ as defined by Schedule 2 of the Planning Act 2016. This
report demonstrates that the proposed Material Change of Use is defined by the Noosa Plan 2020
as consistent and permitted.

This planning report provides details of the nature of the proposal, describes the site characteristics
and surrounding land uses, and provides a statutory assessment against the intent of the Noosa
Plan 2020. 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 Noosa Plan 2020; and

       • A conclusion that provides summary grounds which support the proposed development.

This report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying covering letter, DA Form and
Appendix A. The proposed Food and drink outlet is consistent with the intent of the Noosa Plan 2020
for the subject land and warrants approval subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
