GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                   15 MARCH 2021


        9.    The application proposes development within the Water Supply Catchment which
              may result in adverse effects on the quality of water entering Lake Macdonald
              contrary to Specific Outcome O11 of the Natural Hazards and Natural Resources
              Overlay Code.
        10.   The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcome 14.111.2 (c) and Specific
              Outcome O7 of the Driveways and Car Parking Code as:
              i.     Sufficient visitor parking is not provided and appropriately located for
                     visitors of the Retirement and Special Needs use; and
              ii.    Sufficient parking is not provided for the golf club house.
        11.   The proposal does not comply with Overall Outcome 14.111.2 (c) and Specific
              Outcome O8 of the Driveways and Car Parking Code and Specific Outcome O7
              and O36 of the Residential Uses Code as internal driveways are too narrow to
              satisfactorily accommodate internal traffic movements.
        12.   The proposed built form and landscaping is not consistent with the preferred
              character within Cooroy and will result in an appearance of excessive bulk,
              limited landscaping and continual roof form.
        13.   Noosa Plan 2020 has identified that it can meet the requirements for residential
              accommodation until 2041 within the current Urban Growth Boundary. The
              application has failed to demonstrate a significant planning need to develop
              outside of these boundaries, nor any overriding community benefit which would
              justify approving the development despite its conflict with the Planning Scheme
              and relevant State Planning Policies.
        14.   In preparing the Noosa Plan 2020 and in reviewing submissions pertaining to this
              property Council considered the development potential and suitability of this site
              and it was considered that despite its inclusion within the Urban Footprint of the
              SEQ Regional Plan, commitment of the land for urban purposes was neither
              necessary nor appropriate.
        15.   The proposal is not consistent with the provisions of the Noosa Plan 2020 which
              seek that the land is developed for rural residential purposes.
        16.   The proposal does not comply with the overall outcomes sought by the
              Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands overlay code in Noosa Plan 2020 as the
              development:
              i.     is not designed, sited, nor could it be constructed in a way that avoids
                     adverse impacts on ecologically important areas, ecological systems and
                     processes.
              ii.    does not propose to conserve, manage, enhance and nor rehabilitate to
                     protect and improve biodiversity, ecosystem health, landscape stability and
                     resilience of ecological linkages and riparian vegetation
              iii.   is not designed nor propose a layout that provides for the protection and
                     establishment of appropriate buffers to waterways, wetlands, native
                     vegetation and significant fauna habitat.
              iv.    does not protect and enhance the terrestrial and aquatic native flora and
                     fauna and their habitats
              v.     does not propose landscaping for the rehabilitation of ecologically
                     important areas, degraded ecosystems and habitats to achieve a functional
                     and healthy ecosystem state that requires minimal human intervention.
   B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
