        Moved:           Cr Jurisevic
        Seconded:        Cr Wilkie
        That Council note the report by the Manager Development Assessment to the Special
        Meeting dated 13 May 2020 and the Further Report to the Special Meeting dated 13
        May 2020 regarding Application No. 152006.1999.4 to make a minor change to an
        existing approval to Reconfigure a Lot (52 lots and park) situated at 191 Hollett Rd,
        Noosaville and:
        A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
             1.     The proposed development conflicts with the South East Queensland
                    Regional Plan as the site is located in the Regional Landscape and Rural
                    Production area, in an area where the intent is to protect the landscape,
                    environmental values and capacity for rural production and where rural
                    settlement lots are not expected.
             2.     The proposed development conflicts with the requirements of Planning
                    Regulation 2017 as it is located in the Regional Landscape and Rural
                    Production Area and will result in the removal of koala habitat. The
                    proposed development would be prohibited development under the current
                    regulations.
             3.     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.
             4.     The proposed development is not consistent with the outcomes sought for
                    the site by the Tewantin and Doonan Locality Code, being located outside
                    the urban growth boundary, and on rural land intended to be protected and
                    managed to preserve the scenic and environmental values of the locality.
             5.     The proposed development fails to meet the Overall and Specific
                    Outcomes of the Biodiversity Overlay Code as the proposal will result in
                    the removal of significant vegetation, intrude into riparian buffers, and
                    remove koala habitat.
             6.     The proposed development does not satisfactorily address the risks to
                    people and property from bushfire and the proposed bushfire mitigation
                    measures will adversely impact on the site’s environmental values.
             7.     There is no need for the proposed development.
             8.     Changes are sought to conditions and the approval including conditions
                    concerning the timing of the development which are the subject of dispute
                    in other appeals.
        B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act
             2016.
                                                                      Carried unanimously.
