A vacant block is set to be transformed after a mixed-use development was given the green light for the site.
Noosa Council has approved a development application lodged over land at 23 and 25 Sidoni Street, Tewantin.
The development will see 14 small dwelling units, five ground-floor units and associated offices, and a food and drink outlet built on the 2002sqm site.
Noosa-based architect Tim Ditchfield and Associates has designed the development, which also fronts Blakesley Street.
The application, which was approved via delegated authority, was code assessable and not subject to public notification.
During a Planning and Environment meeting on November 12, council planning staff described the application as a “good development”.
According to the decision notice, the food and drink outlet would be allowed to operate between 7am and 9pm, and must not involve amplified music.
The 14 dwellings will comprise one- and two-bedroom units, while the five ground-floor units can to be used as a mixed dwelling and office space, or standalone offices.
The application for a material change of use for the site was lodged to Noosa Council in November 2023.
A planning report submitted at the time likened the development to similar examples of precincts that combine living and work.
This included 38 units, four Soho commercial units and a food and drink outlet approved for Ridgeview Drive at Peregian Springs, and Habitat Byron Bay, which combines residential, retail and commercial opportunities in the same precinct.
The approved development is just up the road from a proposed state-facilitated development project for 40 units over three to four storeys at 87-89 Poinciana Avenue and 10 Sidoni Street.
