A roof top terrace has become a major sticking point for a new dining and entertainment and shop development at a former convenience store at 6 Heron Street, Peregian Beach Village that is a topic of discussion at a Special Meeting called by Noosa Council on 5 June.
On 7 June 2012, Council approved a Development Permit for a two-storey building with a mixed restaurant and shop on the ground floor, and office tenancies on the first floor. At the time a roof top terrace was also approved for the use of tenants only and specifically prohibiting the use of the terrace for any restaurant or shop use.
Council officers have recommended the current application submitted to Council last December by Andema Pty Ltd be refused.
Officers say the proposed development exceeds the required 2 storeys and 8 metres in height and consists of a roof top terrace which is to be used in conjunction with the entertainment and dining business.
“Whilst acknowledging that there is an existing approval which permits redevelopment of the site the proposed height and built form of the current application is not consistent with surrounding
development and the informal character of the Peregian beach village,” they say.
Council cites the lack of additional car parking as another reason for the refusal of the application.
