Peregian’s new venue

Development for food and drink outlets on two storeys have been approved for this site in Peregian Village.

Noosa Council last week approved the development of a two-storey development in Peregian Village that includes an upstairs and downstairs food and drink outlet, facing the village square, and able to open until midnight Friday and Saturday nights.

The application was lodged by AG22 Pty Ltd ATF Peregian Beach Shopping Centre Discretionary Trust to redevelop 214 David Low Way, a 271sqm site zoned Local Centre with frontages to the David Low Way – Grebe Street service road and the village square.

The applicant proposes to partially retain the existing single storey building and remodel it to retain two shop tenancies, currently operating as retail stores facing the David Low Way – Grebe St service road, and convert three tenancies into a food and drink outlet.

A new upper floor level is proposed for office tenancies and a small food and drink outlet and balcony overlooking the square.

In reviewing the application council staff said the proposed uses were consistent with the zoning intent for the site and areas of con-compliance with the planning scheme including car parking, landscape open space and setback, they considered acceptable due to the small area of the site, the existing built form of the area and the provision of an infrastructure agreement to address carparking contributions.

The approval included extended opening hours beyond 10pm for the food and drink outlet to midnight Fridays and Saturdays on condition it not result in environmental nuisances such as noise, visual or odour impacts that unreasonably diminish the amenity of the area or surrounding uses.

Any live music must be contained within an enclosed acoustically treated environment.

Acoustic live music (not reliant on electric or electronic equipment) must cease to operate in outdoor spaces by 9pm Sunday-Thursday, 10pm Friday and Saturday and amplified live music outdoor must shut down by 7pm every night.
