PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                        9 AUGUST 2016


    Create the precedent for creation of a more substantial medical precinct along Goodchap
      Street, which would be a significant departure from the planning intent for Noosa’s
      commercial precincts broadly and particularly for the NBC.
    Undermine the long term viability of the NBC becoming Noosa’s business and employment
      focus as its principal business centre.
The application’s conflict with the provisions of the SEQ Regional Plan associated with the
protection of the NBC for employment growth and diversification are considered significant. Strong
grounds must be identified to overcome these statutory planning conflicts if the application is to be
supported.
State Planning Regulatory Provisions
The following State Planning Regulatory Provisions apply to the application:
    SEQ Regional Plan Regulatory Provisions
The proposal is for an urban activity within the Urban Footprint and is consistent with the SEQ
Regional Plan Regulatory Provisions.
