              Comment
              The purpose of the proposed development is to allow for future cemetery
              land expansion with the approved Lot 100 (Balance Lot) and provides the
              opportunity for the remaining Lots 1, 2 & 3 to be utilised for other land uses
              needed by the Noosa community. While it is understood that housing is
              proposed on proposed lot 1, the client advises that land use of proposed lot’s
              2 and 3 are subject to further discussion and community consultation.
              Proposed Lot 1, 2 & 3 will gain access via the establishment of a new road
              inclusive of drainage infrastructure stemming from Dianella Court.
              A mostly 10m wide planted buffer zone within road reserve will be
              established adjacent to the existing residential allotments to the east of the
              site (accessed via Dianella Court) providing a substantial separation to any
              future land uses within proposed Lots 1-3. In addition, a 1,000m2 and
              1,542m2 area of the subject site will be dedicated to Council as open space
              park linkages through the site (see Appendix C for details).
              With consideration to the above planning grounds, the proposed
              development is generally consistent with the purpose and overall outcomes
              of the Community Facilities Zone acknowledging that the approved Lot 100
              will be for cemetery purposes and proposed lots 1 – 3 will help fulfill the
              needs of the Noosa Shire community.
