         CHANGE OF USE (DETACHED HOUSE) & RECONFIGURING A LOT (1 INTO 2
         LOTS) AT 20 MITTI ST, NOOSA HEADS
         Council Resolution
         Moved:            Cr Stockwell
         Seconded:         Cr Lorentson
         That Council note the report by the Manager Development Assessment to the Special
         Meeting dated 13 May 2020 regarding Application No. MCU20/0028 & RAL20/0005 for
         a Development Permit for Material Change of Use (Detached House) & Reconfiguring
         a Lot (1 into 2 lots) situated at 20 Mitti St, Noosa Heads and:
         A.     Refuse the application for the following reasons:
                1.   The proposal is not consistent with The Noosa Plan’s Reconfiguring a Lot
                     Code as the proposed lots are not suitable for their intended use as they
                     do not contain house site areas 100% above the 1% AEP flood level with
                     lot 1 subject to significant flooding from an overland drainage path.
                2.   The proposed lots are not consistent with The Noosa Plan’s Noosa Heads
                     Locality Code as the proposal will not maintain the safety of people and will
                     not achieve a high level of residential amenity for residents given the
                     overland drainage path that traverses the property.
                3.   The proposed development will cause offsite flooding impacts contrary to
                     Overall Specific Outcome O2 of the Detached House Code and Specific
                     Outcomes O19 and O20 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code.
                4.   The proposed reconfiguration will ultimately place more people within an
                     area which has a clear risk of flooding compromising people’s safety.
                5.   The proposed lots do not comply with The Noosa Plan’s Reconfiguring a
                     Lot Code and Noosa Heads Locality Code as the lots are located within
                     50m of Noosa National Park, which is mapped as having very high/high
                     values under the Biodiversity Assessment V4.1. Further the site is part of
                     a wetland complex that is in proximity to a record of endangered (Oxelyan
                     Pygmy Perch) and vulnerable (Honey Blue Eyes) aquatic species whose
                     range may include the development site.

                                                                                     Page 4 of 5
