PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                  6 FEBRUARY 2018


5.     CONSULTATION
The application was not required to be referred to any external agencies.

6.     FUTURE POTENTIAL MINOR CHANGES
Given the scale of the development it is understood that further minor changes will be proposed.
In order to facilitate efficient decision making on these minor matters it is recommended that
Council delegate its powers under the Planning Act 2016 for minor change applications to the
Chief Executive Officer. Applications involving more complex changes will continue to be
presented to Council for decision making.

7.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The application seeks to change the existing development approval for a resort of 37 multiple
dwellings and associated facilities within Precinct E2 of the Noosa Springs master planned
estate. The changes seek to delete a residential building and re-distribute the GFA to the
remaining three residential buildings, reduce the number of dwelling units to 29, increase building
heights, alter the density and update several conditions. The proposed changes are generally
consistent with the original development parameters of the approval and the changes are
considered to be supportable under the Planning Act provisions.
The intent of the existing approval was for multiple dwellings and the amended development will
remain subject to the approved use type.
The application to amend the plans, amend conditions 2, 3, 13, 14, and 31 and delete condition 4
is recommended for approval. The proposed changes to Conditions 49, 50 and 65 are not
supported as they would compromise stormwater quality objectives and vegetation within the
Noosa Springs road reserve.
