4 The Proposal
4.1 Proposed Land Use

The applicant proposes to utilise shop 4 for a convenience store. Despite previous written advice
from Council that this type of use would be consistent with the existing shop use, the applicant has
subsequently been advised that the use of the premises for a 7 Eleven convenience store would be
defined as a General Store. The Noosa Plan includes a General Store under the Retail Business
Type 1 Local definition which states:

Type 1 Local - Serves a local function selling general merchandise, or sells produce
grown on the same lot. The use includes a general store or a roadside stall where the
use area exceeds 5m2. The use may include the sale of prepared food and dining
facilities for up to 10 people.

Retail Business Type 1 Local is a code assessable use in the Visitor Mixed Use zone in which the
site is contained.

The applicant notes that the proposed convenience store is located in an existing commercial tenancy
and will provide a range of goods predominantly for patrons of the Hastings Street area. It is noted
that the existing convenience store in Hastings Street is closing and this new premises will effectively
replace this existing store.

The provision of a convenience store in the Hastings Street area will enable users of the area to
purchase general items (milk, confectionary, cereal, premade sandwiches and toiletries) without the
need to drive to other locations across the Shire.

No food preparation is to be undertaken on the site.

The existing shop is proposed to be converted into a 7-eleven convenience store. Appendix A
provides plans of the proposed fit out and indicative items for sale. These plans indicate the area of
demolition of the existing internal layout and new internal arrangements as well as proposed signage.

The Convenience store is proposed to operate from 7 days a week 24 hours a day. One to two staff
will generally operate the store.

Deliveries to the premises will occur prior to 6am and after 6pm. The premises will be serviced daily
by a small refrigerated truck with a semi rigid vehicle delivering a greater range of items once a week.

The existing shop disposes of waste in two wheelie bins located to the rear of the site. The
convenience store proposes to utilise this existing arrangement.

premises with a drop safe provided with time delay. A panic button is also provided for staff which is
connected to a security firm employed by 7 Eleven Stores.
