                                       Figure 2 – Zoning Plan

The application does not seek approval for uses consistent with the zoning of the land and rather
proposes to expand on the range of business uses able to operate from the site. The proposed
industrial business relies on a broad definition allowing a range of Service Industry uses to
operate from the site and the proposed Garden and Lifestyle Centre is a new use as a whole with
no connection to any existing use rights. Overtime it is considered that sites with non-conforming
uses, such as this one will be redeveloped in line with the zoning intent. The proposed
commercial uses are more appropriately located in the designated business or industrial areas.
Approval is also sought for a larger 2 storey commercial building with gross floor area of 710m2.
Where the existing commercial building is single storey with a floor area of 444m 2. This
represents an additional gross floor area of 266m2 intended for business use. The applicant
suggests that there is no increase in gross floor area over the land as the existing shed located in
the north-eastern corner and over the common boundary of Lot 101 and 105 has historically
been used in association with the existing use rights. Council does not have any records to
suggest either of the buildings were included in the planning approval (TPC 658) over the site,
however based on limited information on the file there is evidence which suggests the shed in the
north-eastern corner of the site was permitted to be used for storage purposes only in association
with the approved uses. There are no other records of the shed located over the common
boundary of Lot 101 and 105.
The application does offer various improvements to the site when viewed from Eumundi Noosa
Road and provides an improved interface between adjoining residential uses. The proposed
