GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                     15 MARCH 2021


   township. The built form of the development raises concerns with regards to site cover,
   setbacks, and inconsistency with the character of Cooroy and landscaping. The provision of
   car parking also raises concern as the proposed use of garages for visitor parking is
   impractical.
   A housing needs analysis undertaken for the new planning scheme has identified a need for
   aged care facilities and consequently land on the opposite side of Myall Street has been re-
   zoned in the new planning scheme to accommodate a residential care facility. The proposed
   development is therefore additional to those needs.
   The applicant maintains that the benefits arising from works to the golf club and a
   commitment that each house will pay for one membership for 10 years justify the conflict with
   the planning scheme. Whilst acknowledging the financial benefits for the golf club, the
   proposed benefits do not overcome the proposal’s conflict with the planning scheme, as there
   are limited wider community benefits. Furthermore the golf club works and proposed
   memberships cannot be conditioned as part of an approval and require an Infrastructure
   Agreement be entered into to ensure that they are delivered. The Infrastructure Agreement
   which has been provided by the applicant does not ensure the delivery of the proposed
   works/financial contributions to the Cooroy Golf Club and requires amendment.
   As a consequence of the proposal’s significant conflicts with the Noosa Plan 2006 and Noosa
   Plan 2020 it is recommended that the application be refused.
