               2.     BACKGROUND
               The Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort (previously known as the Sheraton Noosa) was not the subject
               of an existing town planning approval, as it was developed by Suncorp, as an agency of the State
               Government. Those circumstances have changed and the hotel is now subject to the Planning
               Scheme and relevant provisions affecting the Tourist Accommodation Zone that apply to the site.
               Since the development of the site for a resort a range of approvals have been given for

               remodelling the meeting and games rooms and restaurant areas.
               A further change was approved in November 2016 permitting a cabana located to the northern
               side of the pool podium between 2 existing buildings.
               In April 2025, a Minor Change to the Town Planning Consent Permit (Ref: 132004.240022.2 -
