   RECOMMENDATION
   That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning, to the General Committee Meeting
   dated 15 March 2021 regarding Application MCU19/0114 and RAL19/0027 for a
   Development Permit for Material Change of Use – Entertainment & Dining Type 2 Recreation
   amusement fitness, Multiple Housing - Type 3 Retirement and Special Needs (Seniors Living
   Community) and Reconfiguring a Lot (Boundary Realignment and access easement)
   situated at 30, 114, 122 and 144 Myall St Cooroy and:
   A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
        1.    The proposal is not consistent with SEQ Regional Plan as the development would
              result in a high density residential development within an area which contains
              ecological vales and is not included with the planning schemes urban growth
              boundaries.
        2.    The proposed development is contrary to State Planning Policy as it will
              irreversibly impact on good agricultural land.
        3.    The proposed development is not consistent with Desired Environmental
              Outcomes of the Noosa Plan 2006 as the proposal will adversely impact on good
              agricultural land, is at odds with the expected rural character and amenity of the
              area and is more suitably located within the urban growth boundary. The proposal
              will also result in the loss of land intended to accommodate recreational activities
              for the community.
        4.    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.
        5.    The proposed development is not consistent with Overall Outcomes 6.7.2 a) (i)
              and (iv), c), d), r), s), y), cc), gg), rr) and ss) and Specific Outcomes O1, O3, O7,
              O8, O9, O10, O15, O18, O19, O20, O25, O27, O81, O82 and O88 of Cooroy
              and Lake Macdonald Locality Code as:
              i.     It results in high density residential development outside of the Urban
                     Growth Boundary which is not consistent with the Priority Infrastructure
                     Plan.
              ii.    It utilises Rural zoned land for the purpose of Multiple Housing which is an
                     inconsistent use in the zone with the land intended to be maintained for its
                     rural character and use for agricultural.
              iii.   It utilises Open Space Recreation zoned land for the purpose of Multiple
                     Housing which is an inconsistent use in the zone with the land intended to
                     be used for recreational purposes.
              iv.    It utilises rural land intended to be protected and managed to preserve the
                     scenic and environmental values of the area.
                                                                                   Page 16 of 80
