SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA                                                           25 FEBRUARY 2021

           xi.     The height of club house will dominate surrounding spaces and the existing
                   skyline.
           xii.    Parts of the development are located too close to Myall Street and are not
                   consistent with the streetscape.
           xiii.   The excessive site cover results in excessive bulk and development which is not
                   compatible with surrounding development.
           xiv.    The development has the potential to impact on the acoustic amenity of the
                   surrounding area, as no acoustic measures are proposed to be implemented for
                   the new golf club house.
     6.    The proposed development does not comply with Overall Outcomes 14.44.2 a), b) and
           j) and Specific Outcomes O16 and O17 of the Residential Uses Code as:
           i.      It is proposed on land that is not suited to the development of residential
                   buildings;
           ii.     It is not consistent with the character of the neighbourhood;
           iii.    It does not maximise the use of the natural topography and minimise the need
                   for cut and fill; and
           iv.     It is not located within reasonable proximity to a variety of essential services.
     7.    The proposed development fails to meet Overall Outcomes 13.7.2 a), b), c), d) (i), (ii),
           (iii) and (v), e) and g) and Specific Outcomes O1, O3, O4, O5, O6, O8, O9, O10, O14,
           O15, O18 and O19 of the Biodiversity Overlay Code as the proposal will result in the
           removal of significant vegetation and intrude into the site’s riparian buffer.
     8.    The application proposes development within the Water Supply Catchment which may
           result in adverse effects on the quality of water entering Lake Macdonald contrary to
           Specific Outcome O11 of the Natural Hazards and Natural Resources Overlay Code.
     9.    The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcome 14.111.2 (c) and Specific
           Outcome O7 of the Driveways and Car Parking Code as:
           i.      Sufficient visitor parking is not provided and appropriately located for visitors of
                   the Retirement and Special Needs use; and
           ii.     Sufficient parking is not provided for the golf club house.
     10.   The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcome 14.111.2 (c) and Specific
           Outcome O8 of the Driveways and Car Parking Code and Specific Outcome O7 and
           O36 of the Residential Uses Code as internal driveways are too narrow to satisfactorily
           accommodate internal traffic movements.
     11.   The proposed built form and landscaping is not consistent with the preferred character
           within Cooroy and will result in an appearance of excessive bulk, limited landscaping
           and continual roof form.
     12.    There is no significant need for the proposed development.
     13.   The proposal is not consistent with the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020 which seek
           that the land is developed for rural residential purposes.
B.     Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
