GENERAL COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
12 DECEMBER 2016 – Crs. Frank Wilkie (Chair), Jess Glasgow, Ingrid Jackson,
Joe Jurisevic, Frank Pardon, Brian Stockwell and Tony Wellington.


1   MCU6/0066 & OPW16/0133 - DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL
    CHANGE OF USE FOR A SERVICE STATION, CONVENIENCE SHOP AND FOOD
    OUTLET AND OPERATIONAL WORKS FOR SIGNAGE AT 6 TAYLOR COURT,
    COOROY
    Application dealt with at Item 3.


2   OPW16/0016 - APPLICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR OPERATIONAL
    WORKS - PRESCRIBED TIDAL WORKS (DECK) AT 2 PARKYN COURT, TEWANTIN
    That Council note the report by the Coordinator Engineering to the Planning & Environment
    Committee Meeting dated 6 December 2016 regarding application OPW16/0016 for a
    Development Permit for Operational Works – Prescribed Tidal Works (Deck) at 2 Parkyn
    Court, Tewantin and refuse the application for the following reasons:
    1.    The proposed deck does not comply with Overall Outcome and Specific Outcomes of
          the Noosa Plan’s Watercourses Works Code and Tewantin and Doonan Locality
          Code,
    2.    The proposed deck is contrary to the “Purpose of Code” of the IDAS Code of the
          Coastal Protection and Management Regulation 2003 and does not comply with
          Specific Outcomes of the IDAS Code of the Coastal Protection and Regulation 2003,
    3.    The proposed development will create the potential to intensify the commercial uses
          by increasing the available deck areas within the marina,
    4.    The proposed deck adds a substantial area and additional built form on the Noosa
          River, is likely to increase traffic volumes on adjoining lands and there are insufficient
          parking facilities available in the area.


3   MCU16/0066 & OPW16/0133 - FURTHER REPORT - APPLICATION FOR SERVICE
    STATION, CONVENIENCE SHOP & FOOD OUTLET & SIGNAGE AT 6 TAYLOR
    COURT, COOROY
    That Council note the reports by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
    Committee meeting dated 6 December 2016 and the General Committee meeting dated 12
    December 2016 and refuse Application No. MCU16/0066 & OPW16/0133 for a
    Development Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises - Retail Business Type 2
    Shop & Type 5 Vehicle Uses, Entertainment & Dining Business Type 1 - Food & Beverages
    and Operational Works for Signage, situated at 6 Taylor Court, Cooroy for the following
    reasons:
    1.    The development raises conflicts with The Noosa Plan and its current and future land
          use intent for the subject site and water supply catchment area.
    2.    The proposal is not conveniently located or readily accessible for the local community
          and will not provide a significant benefit to that community.
    3.    The development will adversely impact on the local villages and towns by reducing
          patronage to these centres and therefore will not improve community wellbeing.
    4.    The proposal is contrary to the SEQ Regional Plan’s Regional Policy 11.5.1 to
          identify and protect existing and potential drinking water catchments from
          inappropriate land use as the development would pose an unacceptable risk to water
          quality.

                                                                                      Page 8 of 19

    5.   The proposal is contrary to the Environmental Protection (Water) Policy for Mary
         River Environmental Values and Water Quality Objectives as the proposed surface
         water quality exceeds these objectives in relation to Total Nitrogen and Total
         Phosphorous and the applicant has not addressed the impact the in-ground storage
         of fuel will have on ground water.
    6.   The proposal fails to meet the Plan of Development for the site, including the
         provision of a 10 metre landscape buffer to visually screen the development from the
         Bruce Highway.
    7.   The proposed illumination of the advertising devices is contrary to the Advertising
         Devices Code and the intent of the Plan of Development for the site.




4   MCU16/0090 - DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR
    WELLBEING TYPE 2 - SOCIAL (SUNSHINE BUTTERFLIES) AT 468 MCKINNON
    DRIVE, COOROIBAH
    That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the General Committee
    Meeting dated 12 December 2016 regarding Application No. MCU16/0090 for a
    Development Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises - Wellbeing Type 2 - Social
    (respite centre) situated at 468 McKinnon Drive, Cooroibah and:
    A.   Approve the application in accordance with the following conditions contained in the
         General Committee Agenda dated 12 December 2016 with a change to Condition 8
         to read as follows:
         8.    The maximum height of the development must not exceed 9 metres at the pitch
               of the roof above the finished ground level and the natural ground level and
               must not exceed be 2 storeys.
    B.   Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with
         the Planning Scheme:
         1.    ‘Our Backyard’ offers rural type uses which are compatible with and maintains
               the rural residential character of the area.
         2.    The proposal partially fills a gap in support services for people living with
               disabilities and their families while not adversely impacting on surrounding rural
               residential properties.
         3.    The proposal will generally add positively to Noosa’s social fabric providing a
               benefit to the community and is consistent with the intent of Noosa Social
               Strategy.
    C.   Include the Department of Transport and Main Roads conditions as detailed in their
         Concurrence Agency response dated 7 November 2016.




                                                                                     Page 9 of 19

Section 10

ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                      15 DECEMBER 2016


5   DRAFT DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT RULES FOR NEW PLANNING ACT
    That Council note the report by the Manager, Planning & Environment to the General
    Committee Meeting dated 12 December 2016 and request the Chief Executive Officer
    make a submission to the State government on the draft Development Assessment Rules
    for the Planning Act 2016 seeking that:
    1.   The assessment time frames of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 be maintained.
         The time frames are proposed to be generally halved under the proposed
         Development Assessment Rules and have the potential to significantly impact on
         Council resources and achieving good planning outcomes for Noosa. The proposed
         shortened time frames will not allow time to undertake a thorough assessment of
         development proposals and consult appropriately with the community without
         additional resources to Council’s Development Assessment team. Additional
         resources would need to be funded by raising fees and charges for development
         applications, increasing costs for developers.
    2.   The Development Assessment Rules maintain and extend the time frame for
         applicants to be able to revive a development application where it lapses. This ability
         is not consistent with the identified intention for the development process to be ‘an
         applicant driven process’, and is likely to create administrative problems for councils
         and lead to significant confusion for the community, particularly submitters.
    3.   The opt-out step for information requests be deleted from the Development
         Assessment Rules. The ability to opt-out of an information request in the
         Development Assessment Rules is likely to add significant complexity to the
         development assessment process without adding value as an applicant currently has
         multiple options in regard to giving a response to a request for further information. It
         is critical that councils and state agencies retain the ability to raise issues and identify
         further information that is required in order to fully understand and assess
         development proposals.
    4.   Applicants be responsible for notifying all relevant entities of a change to the
         development application given the identified intention for the development process to
         be ‘an applicant driven process. S25.1 of the proposed Development Assessment
         Rules requires Councils to give a copy of a notice of change to a development
         application to the relevant referral agencies and advise on the effect of the change on
         the development process.’
    5.   Applicants be required to give notice of commencement of the public notification
         period to assessment managers, given Council is responsible for ensuring that
         application material is available for the community to review and determine whether
         submissions are properly made S17.4 of the proposed Development Assessment
         Rules states that ‘the applicant may give notice to the assessment manager of the
         intended start date of public notification’ and does not make this step mandatory.

2.    Tender Process

An open invitation to tender was advertised on 12 November 2016. The tender was open for 26
days, closing on 7 December 2016.


3.    Tender Assessment

The tender evaluation panel undertook an assessment of the two conforming tender submissions
received from;

1) Shadforths Civil Pty Ltd, and
2) Carruthers

The tenders were evaluated using the following criteria:
 Capability and resourcing
 Track Record
 Methodology
 Quality
 Safety
 Environment sustainability
 Contribution to local economy
 Price

The tendered price from Shadforths Pty Ltd of $768,818.88 excluding GST represents a
competitive price particularly in the current South East Queensland civil construction market.

The assessment panel considers the tender from Shadforths Pty Ltd to be the most
advantageous to Council and presents the best value for money.

Shadforths are preferred because of their capability in terms of technical skill, level of resourcing,
reputation and capacity to deliver the project within an acceptable timeframe of 18 weeks.


4.    Programme & Next Steps

Following the awarding of the contract, staff will negotiate a starting time with the preferred
contractor as early as possible in January 2017.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Principal Strategic Planner to the Ordinary Meeting dated 15
December 2016 and approve the required capital budget allocation for the Climate Change
Project Coordinator position, as follows:
A.   2016/17 financial year - $50,000;
B.     2017/18 financial year - $100,000; and
C.     2018/19 financial year - $50,000.


REPORT
Council is currently developing a Climate Change Adaptation Plan for Noosa Shire to support
Council and the community in understanding and responding to coastal hazards, flooding,
extreme storm events and the impacts of a changing climate.

Councillors will be aware that Council has been successful in being awarded $490,000 in grant
funding through the State government's QCoast2100 Program to assist with developing this plan.

In addition to the grant funding, Council has allocated capital budget totalling $100,000 to the
project for the 2016/17 financial year, in order to cover the costs of a project officer to manage
and deliver the Adaptation Plan.

A Climate Change Adaptation Project Coordinator position will however be required for the full
period of the grant allocation, which is for 2 years. It is therefore proposed that Council will need
to endorse future budget allocations of a further $100,000, increasing the overall capital budget
