SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA                                                         25 FEBRUARY 2021

must be a party to the agreement as the works are occurring on their land and they must be bound
to ensure the completion of the works. Should Council wish to approve the application, the
agreement would require amendment before Council decides the application.
4.    DRAFT PLANNING SCHEME
The new Noosa Plan adopted by Council commenced on 31 July 2020, and as such it is
appropriate to give some weight to the content of this new scheme.
The Noosa Plan 2020 includes the land the subject of this application partly in the Rural
Residential Zone and partly in the Recreation and Open Space Zone. The land sits outside of the
Urban Area Boundary. As such it is not the intent of the scheme that this land be developed for
urban purposes within the life of the planning scheme. It is also outside of the Priority
Infrastructure Area. A new club house for the golf club is a suitable use within the Recreation and
Open Space Zone.

In preparing the planning scheme and in reviewing submissions pertaining to this property Council
considered the development potential and suitability of this site and it was considered that despite
its inclusion within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ Regional Plan, commitment of the land for
urban purposes was neither necessary nor appropriate.
As already indicated, urban development of this land is not planned for within this scheme and
the use is not supported in the zone.
