            a) The proposal is not a rural activity, it is an urban activity, and will not value
            add to goods produced on site.
            b) The proposal does not have an indelible connection to the rural or ecological
            values of the site and is more appropriately located in an urban area.
            c) There is no overriding community benefit for the food and drink outlet to be
            located on the site, with no particular circumstances relevant that warrant the
            proposal.
            d) The proposal will detract from the scenic amenity of Mary River Road being
            part of the major road network for the Shire.
            5. This element of the proposal is contrary to performance outcomes PO1, PO2,
            PO3, PO11, PO12, PO13 of the Business Activities Code as:
            a) The proposal is a type of business activity that is at odds and is not compatible
            with the purpose of the site’s rural zoning.
            b) The proposal seeks to locate a business activity outside the business centres
            shown in the Noosa Shire Centres Hierarchy.
            c) The proposed food and drink outlet is a use that is not typically expected to
            be found in the rural areas of the Shire.
            d) The proposal is adversely impacting the amenity of nearby residents, with its
            early and week-end operating hours, uncoordinated and uncontrolled carparking
            on the road reserve and coffee shop customers coming and going from the site.
            6.     This element of the proposal is contrary to overall outcome (b) and
            performance outcome PO6 of the Driveways and Parking Code and overall
            outcome (e) and performance outcome PO16 of the Business Activities Code as
            the proposed on-site car parking is insufficient to accommodate the number of
            vehicles generated by the development.
            D. Refuse to amend Condition 4 of the development approval for the following
            reason:
            7. The proposal is contrary to performance outcomes PO25 and PO26 of the
            Rural Activities Code as the requested change includes the sale of food and
            beverages that are not ancillary to a bona fide cropping or animal husbandry use
            on site.
            E. Refuse to delete Conditions 5 and 7 of the development approval for the
            following reasons:
            8. The proposal is contrary to performance outcomes PO25 and PO26 of the
            Rural Activities Code as the request to delete these conditions relates to the
            proposal for a food and drink outlet to operate from the site which is not supported.
            Any provision for the tasting of foods and beverages proposed to be produced on
            site would not be ancillary to a bona fide cropping or animal husbandry use on
            site.
            F. Advise the applicant that the food and drink outlet must cease operating from
            the site within 3 months of the date of Council’s decision, with any unapproved
            structures removed.
            G. Advise the applicant that the roasting of coffee beans on site must cease within
            3 months of the date of Council’s decision, and to lodge a subsequent code
            assessable development application for a Material Change of Use – Home-based
            Business (coffee roasting).
            H. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning
            Act 2016.
            I. Authorise the CEO to work with the applicant to find an appropriate location
            for the food and drink outlet/bus.
            J. That Council request the CEO to expedite an investigation into the feasibility
            of the provision of a mobile coffee trader or similar at suitable locations in the
            Hinterland which may include sites such as the Noosa Botanic Gardens and
            Hinterland Adventure Playground.
            K. Request the CEO to investigate extending the 60km per hour speed limit on
            Mary River Road to Lawnville Road to enhance the safety of vehicle interactions
