5.1. Applicable Codes

The codes identified in The Noosa Plan as being applicable to code assessable development for the
proposal are the:

+ Noosa Heads Locality Code;
* Business Uses Code;

+ Landscaping Code;

« Engineering Works Codes.

5.1.1 Noosa Heads Locality Code

The proposal has been assessed against the requirements of the Locality Code and is
considered to comply with the Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions detailed. The use is
located in an existing commercial area and will provide goods that will service the needs of
visitors to the area.

5.1.2 Business Uses Code

The proposal has been reviewed against the provisions of the Business Uses code and is
considered to comply with the requirements of the Code. The proposal involves the utilisation
of an existing shop premises and no additional floor area is proposed. No outdoor dining is
proposed and the entrances to the shop are well lit and visible from the sales area.

The external area to the shop is currently well lit.
5.1.3 Landscaping and Engineering Works Codes

A review of the proposal against the Landscaping and Engineering Codes indicates that it complies
with these Codes.

It is noted that the Noosa Plan indicates that a Type 1 Local is required to provide 5 carparking
spaces on site. This requirement directly correlates to the carparking requirement f for Type 2 Shop &
Salon, which requires the provision of carparking at the rate of 1 space per 20m? for areas of up to
100m? (5 spaces). The proposal is therefore one space short of the carparking requirements.

There is no carparking provided on site and the subject premises has an area of only 80m? of which
56m’ is retail. This is clearly demonstrated on the proposal plans which indicate office and storage
areas to the rear of the premises. The requirement for 5 car parking spaces is excessive and not
reasonable based on:
