and:
A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
     1.    The proposal is not consistent with SEQ Regional Plan as the development would
           result in a high density residential development within an area which contains
           ecological vales and is not included with the planning schemes urban growth
           boundaries.
     2.    The proposed development is contrary to State Planning Policy as it will irreversibly
           impact on good agricultural land.
     3.    The proposed development is not consistent with Desired Environmental Outcomes of
           the Noosa Plan 2006 as the proposal will adversely impact on good agricultural land,
           is at odds with the expected rural character and amenity of the area and is more
           suitably located within the urban growth boundary. The proposal will also result in the
           loss of land intended to accommodate recreational activities for the community.
     4.    The proposed development is inconsistent with the Noosa Plan’s Strategic Framework
           as the proposed development will not conserve land for agricultural purposes and will
           result in development inconsistent with the rural character and amenity of the locality.
     5.    The proposed development is not consistent with Overall Outcomes 6.7.2 a) (i) and
           (iv), c), d), r), s), y), cc), gg), rr) and ss) and Specific Outcomes O1, O3, O7, O8, O9,
           O10, O15, O18, O19, O20, O25, O27, O81, O82 and O88 of Cooroy and Lake
           Macdonald Locality Code as:
           i.      It results in high density residential development outside of the Urban Growth
                   Boundary which is not consistent with the Priority Infrastructure Plan.
           ii.     It utilises Rural zoned land for the purpose of Multiple Housing which is an
                   inconsistent use in the zone with the land intended to be maintained for its rural
                   character and use for agricultural.
           iii.    It utilises Open Space Recreation zoned land for the purpose of Multiple Housing
                   which is an inconsistent use in the zone with the land intended to be used for
                   recreational purposes.
           iv.     It utilises rural land intended to be protected and managed to preserve the scenic
                   and environmental values of the area.
           v.      It does not preserve agricultural land, conserve open space for biodiversity and
                   water quality purposes or provide development at a density consistent with the
                   sites environmental constraints and proximity to the Lake Macdonald water
                   supply catchment.
           vi.     The development does not minimise cut and fill and is excessive.
           vii.    The development results in adverse impacts on the sites environmental values.
           viii.   The development has the potential to impact on water quality of Lake Macdonald.
           ix.     The proposal will result in a detrimental impact on the scenic vista from the major
                   road network and the entry into Cooroy township.
           x.      The proposed built form does not complement traditional streetscape and
                   building forms.
