Information Request Response

Philip,

We have reviewed the Planning Assessment Report as prepared by our office in response to the
Council's Request for Further Information (RFI), with particular reference to the following item:-

“A written summary of planning grounds to support the proposed development, given that
preliminary assessment finds the proposal is not fully consistent with the Plan of
Development for the site and the 1997 Strategic Plan objectives for Open Space —
Recreation”

The planning grounds that support the proposed development are provided below. The individual
points have been directly summarised from the original planning report.

= The Plan of Development supports the proposal because it includes the following
provision which is detailed under the Permissible Uses header for Precinct H. The
provision states “Any development extending from one Precinct in which it is a Permitted
Use or Permissible Use into the adjacent area of an adjoining precinct where it is not a
Permitted Use or Permissible Use.” The proposal is deemed to be a Column 4 consistent
use subject to Impact Assessment for the following reasons:-

o Itis located in Precinct H which adjoins all five (5) existing residential precincts;
o Itis located in an area which is adjacent to these existing residential precincts; and,
o It extends the residential uses from the existing residential precincts into Precinct H.

= The proposed development is included in a precinct within the Plan of Development that
provides for using the land for a golf course and associated uses. However, the proposed
residential subdivision will not affect the existing golf course use as the site is currently
used predominantly for growing palm trees, and is an "out of bounds" area for golf
players. As such, the current use of the land represents a very inefficient use of land
which is otherwise suitable for residential development, especially given its location within
the existing Noosa Springs development and its proximity to all relevant services.

" The proposed development will not exceed the overall density and development area
limits set out in the Dwelling Unit Yield Schedule in the Plan of Development. The Plan of
Development provides for a dwelling yield of seven hundred and forty-four (744) dwellings
that are to be distributed across Noosa Springs. At this time, only five hundred and
twenty-seven (527) dwellings have been approved within Noosa Springs. A balance of
