6 ENVIRONMENT PROJECT & ALLIANCE GRANTS
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stockwell provided the following
declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Stockwell, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation to
the application by the Noosa District Landcare due to my long standing connection with the organisation
as one of the inaugural members of the unincorporated group dating back to the 1980s. Although I have
a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias
considering the community nature of this relationship. Therefore, I will choose to remain in the meeting
room. However, I will respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the
decision.
That Council note the report by the Environment Services Manager to the Planning &
Environment Committee Meeting dated 6 July 2021 and approve the Environment Project
Grants and Environment Alliance funding recommendations for this round as outlined in
Attachment 1 to the report.
7 PLANNING APPLICATIONS DECIDED BY DELEGATED AUTHORITY – MAY 2021
I, Cr Stewart, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation to
the application by Barry Taylor, listed in the report at Item 31. I have attended Mr Taylor’s house for
lunch and we have socialised together very occasionally. Although I have a declarable conflict of
interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I believe I do not
have a close personal relationship with Mr Taylor and Council's consideration of this application is not
to approve or reject it, it is only for noting of a decision that has already been made by staff. Therefore,
I will choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I will respect the decision of the meeting on
whether I can remain and participate in the decision.
That Council note the report by the Development Assessment Manager to the Planning &
Environment Committee Meeting dated 6 July 2021 regarding planning applications that have
been decided by delegated authority.
Committee Recommendation
That the report of the Planning & Environment Committee dated 6 July 2021 be received and the
recommendations therein be adopted except where dealt with by separate resolution.

the funding recommendation to Noosa District Rugby Union Club Inc. I am a member, my husband is a
member and sponsor and my son plays for this club. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I
do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of bias because I believe I do not stand to
receive a personal benefit or loss in relation to this funding. Therefore, I will choose to remain in the
meeting room. However, I will respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and
participate in the decision.

the funding recommendation to Sunny Kids Inc. I make regular monthly donations to this charity.

perception of bias because I believe I do not stand to receive a personal benefit or loss in relation to this
funding. Therefore, I will choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I will respect the decision of
the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the decision.

ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 15 JULY 2021
plays for the Noosa District Rugby Union Club. My son also plays for the Noosa Australian Football Club

I will respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the decision.
That Council note the report by the Community Development Manager to the Services &

10 COMMUNITY TENURE RENEWALS
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Lorentson provided the following
declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Lorentson, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation
to the proposed lease renewal for Sunshine Coast Sports Aviators as one of the Club members, David
Cookman, approached me after a Meet the Candidates night and asked for some election campaign
posters to advertise on his properties. I did not know Mr Cookman or have any relationship with him
prior to meeting him that night. Mr Cookman is not a current committee member, although he has been
a committee member in the past. I understand that he is a life member of the community group. As such,
there does not appear to be any personal benefit accruing to Mr Cookman as a result of the lease
renewal. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could
have a perception of bias because I do not consider that I have a close personal relationship with Mr
Cookman and I believe Mr Cookman does not stand to receive a personal benefit or loss in relation to
this matter. Therefore, I will choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I will respect the decision
of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the decision.
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stewart provided the following
declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest in this matter:
I, Cr Stewart, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this matter in relation to
the proposed lease renewal for the Sunshine Coast Sports Aviators as one of the Club members, David
Cookman, donated $500 on 17 March 2020 to my 2020 election campaign and also put up corflutes for
me during this campaign. Mr Cookman, is not the applicant for the proposed lease renewal nor is the
renewal being issued to him. As such, there does not appear to be any personal benefit accruing directly
to Mr Cookman. He is simply a member of a community organisation that is receiving a proposed lease
renewal from Council. Mr Cookman is not a current committee member, although he has been a
committee member in the past. I understand that he is a life member of the community group. Although
I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a reasonable person could have a perception of
bias because I believe Mr Cookman does not stand to receive a personal benefit or loss in relation to
this application. Therefore, I will choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I will respect the
decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the decision.
That Council note the report by the Property Officer to the Services & Organisation Committee
Meeting dated 6 July 2021; and
A. Authorise the Chief Executive Officer to enter into tenure renewal negotiations with
community organisations noted in Attachment 1, in accordance with the Community
Purpose Land and Infrastructure Tenure Policy; and
B. Apply the exception to the requirement for tendering under Section 236 (1) (b) (ii) of the
Local Government Regulation 2012 for disposal of a non-current asset other than by
tender or auction if the valuable non-current asset is disposed of to a community
organisation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL
1 MCU19/0119.02 OTHER CHANGE TO A DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL FOR A MATERIAL
CHANGE OF USE FOR MULTIPLE HOUSING - TYPE 2 DUPLEX AND SHORT-TERM
ACCOMMODATION AND OPERATIONAL WORKS (DRAINAGE WORK, STORMWATER,
EARTHWORKS, LANDSCAPING, CARPARKING & ACCESS) 2 NOLA STREET,
NOOSAVILLE
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 6 July 2021 regarding Application No. MCU19/0119.02 &
OPW19/0216.02 for an Other Change to a Development Approval for a Material Change of
Use for Multiple Housing - Type 2 Duplex and Short-term accommodation and Operational
Works (Drainage work, Stormwater, Earthworks, Landscaping, Carparking & Access) situated
at 2 Nola Street, Noosaville and
A. Request staff to prepare a further report for the Ordinary Meeting dated 15 July 2021
including conditions for approval of the application.
B. Write to the Minister, State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and
Planning to request his agreement to make a Temporary Local Planning Instrument to
make short-term accommodation an inconsistent use in the Medium Density
Residential and High Density Residential zones, on the basis that further short-term
accommodation is depleting housing supply for permanent residents and this poses a
significant risk of serious adverse economic and social conditions in Noosa Shire, and
the delay involved in amending the planning scheme would increase this risk.
C. Note that Council at its Ordinary Meeting of 18 March 2021 resolved to “update the
Noosa Council Housing Needs Assessment prepared by Briggs & Mortar Pty Ltd in
2017 with regard to the provisions of Noosa Plan 2020 and the local housing situation
and trends” and that this review shall address the supply of housing for permanent
residents, and the impact short term accommodation has on this supply; and inform the
assessment of future development applications for short term accommodation.
A. Refuse the application for the following reasons:
1. The proposal is not consistent with 3.2.4 Housing to meet diverse needs of the
community and 3.3.3 Housing Choice (n) of the Strategic Framework, as it will
further erode the permanent housing in the area, impacting permanent resident
amenity.
Page 10 of 47
Section 11
ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 15 JULY 2021
2. The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(a)
and (h) of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code as:
a. The proposal is located in an area that it is not predominantly home to
permanent residents, with many properties being used for visitor
accommodation and/or properties permitted for visitor accommodation.
b. The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor accommodation
facility within a recently approved dual occupancy, and is not located within
a well-established resort or holiday units.
3. The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.4.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(t)
and Performance Outcome PO21 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code as:
a. Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental
impacts on the residential amenity of permanent residents.
b. While the code seeks to maintain visitor accommodation in the area, it does
not seek to increase the extent of visitor accommodation within the area to
the detriment of permanent residents.
4. The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) and
(2)(f) of the Visitor Accommodation Code as:
a. The proposed visitor accommodation is not appropriately located and
integrated with permanent residents in the area given the number and
density of properties currently being used for visitor accommodation and/or
permitted for visitor accommodation.
b. The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity
enjoyed by residents.
5. There is no need for additional short term accommodation in the area.
B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

Erosion and Sediment Control
11. Prescribed Water Contaminants (as defined in Schedule 10 of Environmental Protection
Regulation 2019) must not be released from the site or to waters within the site, or be

measures are taken to prevent or minimise the release and concentration of
contamination.
12. Sediment and erosion control measures must be in place prior to works commencing. If
such measures are not in place or are not satisfactory, “on the spot” fines may be issued.
Such fines can be issued if sediments from the site are found to enter or have the
potential to enter Council’s stormwater system, natural waterways, any downstream
stormwater filtration system or adversely impacting on other properties. It is the site's
Principal Contractor who is responsible for ensuring that the sediment and erosion
control measures have:
a. Been revised to address predicted rainfall events, and
b. Achieve the desired environmental outcomes.
Council may request further controls to be installed should the implemented measures
be found inefficient.

3 MCU20/0149 APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR SHORT-TERM
ACCOMMODATION AT 29 FERGUSON ST, SUNSHINE BEACH
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 6 July 2021 regarding Application No. MCU20/0149 for a
Development Permit for Material Change of Use - Short-term accommodation situated at 29
Ferguson St Sunshine Beach and
A. Request staff to prepare a further report for the Ordinary Meeting dated 15 July 2021
including conditions for approval of the application.
A. Refuse the application for the following reasons:
1. The proposal is not consistent with Strategic Intent and Outcomes for the Shire as
increased visitor accommodation is not sought or needed for the area and visitor
accommodation will further erode the permanent housing in the area, impacting
permanent resident amenity.
2. The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(a)
and (h) of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code as:
a. The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor accommodation
facility within a newly constructed dwelling, and is not located within a well-
established resort or holiday units.
b. There are a number of sites advertised as being available for visitor
accommodation in the immediate neighbourhood and zoned medium density
residential.
3. The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(o)
and (v)(iii) and Performance Outcomes PO1, PO2 & PO15 of the Coastal
Communities Local Plan Code as:
a. The extent of visitor accommodation has started to erode the available
supply of permanent housing in the local plan area.
b. The proposal, being a single dwelling unit, does not deliver on the intent of
the Medium Density Residential zone to provide greater diversity in housing
types, including dual occupancies and multiple dwellings.
c. Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental
impacts on the residential neighbourhood and amenity of permanent
residents.
4. The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) and
(2)(f) of the Visitor Accommodation Code as:
a. The proposed short term accommodation will not integrate well into the area
given the extent of visitor accommodation in the area.
b. The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity
enjoyed by residents given resident’s reasonable expectations for the area.
5. There is no need for additional short term accommodation in the area.
6. The proposed new building does not comply with Performance Outcome PO12(f)
of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code as the proposed front building
setback is not consistent with the predominant character of the surrounding area
and does not allow sufficient landscaping in the front to enhance the streetscape.
B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

community and 3.3.3 Housing Choice (n) of the Strategic Framework, as it will
further erode the dwelling units available for permanent housing in the area,
impacting permanent resident amenity.
a. The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall Outcome
(2)(v)(iii) of the Coastal Communities Local Plan Code as:
b. Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental
impacts on the residential amenity of permanent residents.
c. The proposal is located on a site which is not identified for tourist
accommodation and given the extent of visitor accommodation in the area
zoned High Density Residential will impact on the availability of multi units
for permanent residents.
2. The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(a)
and (j) of the High Density Residential Zone Code as:
a. The proposal is located in an area that is not predominantly home to

REPORT
A report on this application was considered by the Planning and Environment Committee Meeting
on 6 July 2021 and was subsequently referred to the General Committee Meeting on 12 July 2021.
During the course of discussions at the General Committee Meeting, Councillors considered that
there may be grounds to support the proposal given the 3 previous development approvals for short
term accommodation in the coastal area. Councillors in discussion though, also recognised that
short term accommodation was impacting the housing supply for permanent residents.
In the circumstances, the General Committee recommended the following:
A. Request staff to prepare a further report for the Ordinary meeting dated 15 July 2021
including conditions for approval of the application.
B. Write to the Minister, State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning to
request his agreement to make a Temporary Local Planning Instrument to make short-term
accommodation an inconsistent use in the Medium Density Residential and High Density
Residential zones, on the basis that further short-term accommodation is depleting housing
supply for permanent residents and this poses a significant risk of serious adverse economic
and social conditions in Noosa Shire, and the delay involved in amending the planning
scheme would increase this risk.
C. Note that Council at its Ordinary Meeting of 18 March 2021 resolved to “update the Noosa
Council Housing Needs Assessment prepared by Briggs & Mortar Pty Ltd in 2017 with regard
to the provisions of Noosa Plan 2020 and the local housing situation and trends” and that this
review shall address the supply of housing for permanent residents, and the impact short
term accommodation has on this supply and inform the assessment of future development
applications for short term accommodation.
Staff have considered the issues raised by Councillors, but confirm the previous Officer
Recommendation. Should Council wish to approve the application, the requested motion below has
been drafted for that purpose.

regarding Application No. MCU20/0149 for a Development Permit for Material Change of Use -
Short-term accommodation situated at 29 Ferguson St Sunshine Beach and:
A. Refuse the application for the following reasons:
1. The proposal is not consistent with Strategic Intent and Outcomes for the Shire as
increased visitor accommodation is not sought or needed for the area and visitor
accommodation will further erode the permanent housing in the area, impacting
permanent resident amenity.
2. The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(a) and (h)
of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code as:
a. The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor accommodation facility
within a newly constructed dwelling, and is not located within a well-established
resort or holiday units.
b. There are a number of sites advertised as being available for visitor
accommodation in the immediate neighbourhood and zoned medium density
residential.
3. The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(o) and
(v)(iii) and Performance Outcomes PO1, PO2 & PO15 of the Coastal Communities Local
Plan Code as:
a. The extent of visitor accommodation has started to erode the available supply of
permanent housing in the local plan area.
b. The proposal, being a single dwelling unit, does not deliver on the intent of the
Medium Density Residential zone to provide greater diversity in housing types,
including dual occupancies and multiple dwellings.
c. Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental
impacts on the residential neighbourhood and amenity of permanent residents.
4. The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) and (2)(f)
of the Visitor Accommodation Code as:
a. The proposed short term accommodation will not integrate well into the area given
the extent of visitor accommodation in the area.
b. The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity enjoyed
by residents given resident’s reasonable expectations for the area.
5. There is no need for additional short term accommodation in the area.
Page 23 of 47
Section 24
ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 15 JULY 2021
6. The proposed new building does not comply with Performance Outcome PO12(f) of the
Medium Density Residential Zone Code as the proposed front building setback is not
consistent with the predominant character of the surrounding area and does not allow
sufficient landscaping in the front to enhance the streetscape.
B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
REPORT
A report on this application was considered by the Planning and Environment Committee Meeting
on 6 July 2021 and was subsequently referred to the General Committee Meeting on 12 July 2021.

In the circumstances, the General Committee requested staff prepare a further report for the
Ordinary meeting dated 15 July 2021 including conditions for approval of the application.
Staff have considered the issues raised by Councillors, but confirm the previous Officer
Recommendation. Should Council wish to approve the application, the requested motion below has
been drafted for that purpose.
Notably a condition has been included requiring that the building be setback a minimum of 6m from
the front boundary. Currently the proposal plans indicate a roofed terrace setback 4m from the front
boundary. This reduced setback is not consistent with the predominant character of the streetscape
and is contrary to the performance outcomes for the area.

Meeting dated 6 July 2021 and the Further Report to the Ordinary Meeting dated 15 July 2021
regarding Application No. MCU15/0069.01 for an Other Change to a Development Approval for a
Material Change of Use for Multiple Housing - Type 2 Duplex situated at 1/39 Duke Street, Sunshine
Beach, and:
A. Refuse the application for the following reasons:
1. The proposal is not consistent with 3.2.4 Housing to meet diverse needs of the
community and 3.3.3 Housing Choice (n) of the Strategic Framework, as it will further
erode the dwelling units available for permanent housing in the area, impacting
permanent resident amenity.
a. The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall Outcome (2)(v)(iii)
of the Coastal Communities Local Plan Code as:
b. Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental
impacts on the residential amenity of permanent residents.
c. The proposal is located on a site which is not identified for tourist accommodation
and given the extent of visitor accommodation in the area zoned High Density
Residential will impact on the availability of multi units for permanent residents.
2. The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(a) and (j)
of the High Density Residential Zone Code as:
a. The proposal is located in an area that is not predominantly home to permanent
residents, with many properties being used for visitor accommodation and/or
properties permitted for visitor accommodation and the proposal will erode the
availability of dwelling units for permanent residents.
b. The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor accommodation facility
within a recently approved dual occupancy, and is not located within a well-
established resort or holiday units.
3. The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) and (2)(f)
of the Visitor Accommodation Code as:
a. The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity enjoyed
by residents given resident’s reasonable expectations for the area.
4. There is no need for additional short term accommodation in the area.
B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

REPORT
A report on this application was considered by the Planning and Environment Committee Meeting
on 6 July 2021 and was subsequently referred to the General Committee Meeting on 12 July 2021.
During the course of discussions at the General Committee Meeting, Councillors considered that
there may be grounds to support the proposal given the previous approvals for short term
accommodation. Councillors in discussion though, also recognised that short term accommodation
was impacting the housing supply for permanent residents.

Meeting with conditions of approval.
Staff have considered the issues raised by Councillors, but confirm the previous Officer
Recommendation. Should Council wish to approve the application, the requested motion below has
been drafted for that purpose.
