RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the General Committee Meeting dated
17 May 2021 regarding a Request for Superseded Planning Scheme - Reconfiguring a Lot (1 lot into
4 lots and drainage reserve) at 11C Church Street, Pomona and agree to the Request to apply the
Superseded Planning Scheme.
Page 4 of 46
Section 5
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 MAY 2021
1. PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks that the Council agree to a request to accept an application to subdivide the site
into 4 lots and drainage reserve under the superseded planning scheme (SPS), being the Noosa
Plan 2006.
Section 29(4) of the Planning Act 2016 states:
A person may, within 1 year after the planning scheme and related policies become a
superseded planning scheme, make a superseded planning scheme request in relation to the
superseded planning scheme.
This application has been made within one year of the commencement of the Noosa Plan 2020, with
the Noosa Plan 2020 having commenced on 31 July 2020.
Agreement to the SPS request does not mean that the proposed subdivision is approved, as a code
assessable application is still required for the proposed subdivision under the Superseded Planning
Scheme. Assessment of the proposed subdivision would then be undertaken at the time the
development application is made.
The current application includes material which would be included in a development application
should the SPS request be accepted.
This material includes:
Proposal plan;
Town planning report;
Site photographs;
Code Assessment;
Flood report.
The proposed lot sizes are:
Lot 4: 1,083m2
Lot 5: 1,005m2
Lot 6: 1,003m2
Lot 7: 1,551m2
Drainage reserve: 2,875m2
The drainage reserve is proposed over that part of the site which is subject to flooding.
A copy of the proposal plan and a Locality Plan are detailed below:
Figure 1: Proposed lot layout

Section 6
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 MAY 2021
Figure 2: Locality Plan
2. SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
A reconfiguration application was approved under delegation in May 2018 which reconfigured 11
Church Street from one 1.18 hectare lot into 4 lots ranging in size from 1,104m2 to 7,509m2.
The current application seeks to reconfigure the largest of these lots, being lot 4.
2.2. Site Description
The site is 7,509m2 and is located on the western side of Church Street Pomona. The site is
characterised by a slope, of approximately 10 degrees, which extends in a south-easterly direction
from the north-western corner towards a waterway which dissects the centre of the site. A second
waterway is located in the north-eastern corner of the site whilst a further waterway extends south
from the centrally located waterway.
The central waterway contains scattered vegetation whilst further vegetation is located in the north-
eastern corner of the site.
The following image of the site includes the location of the waterways (shown in blue) and the
contours:

Section 7
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 MAY 2021

2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
Detached dwellings are located to the north, south and east of the site.
3. ASSESSMENT
3.1. Superseded Planning Scheme Request
Under the Planning Act 2016 a person may within 1 year after commencement of the Noosa Plan
2020, make a SPS request.
A SPS request is a written request to Council:
To accept, assess and decide a development application under a superseded planning
scheme; or
To apply a superseded planning scheme to a development that was accepted development
(no approval required).
Under the Planning Regulation 2017, Council must decide whether or not to agree to a SPS request
within 30 business days after the request is received, which may be extended where the applicant
agrees in writing before the period ends. If no decision is made by Council within the required time
frame, the Council is taken to have agreed to the SPS request.
If the Council decides to agree or is taken to have agreed to the request, the superseded planning
application must be made within 6 months to Council or where the proposal is accepted development
under the SPS commence the use within 6 years of the Decision Notice being given.
3.2. Planning Schemes
The site is located in the Mary River Catchment Locality and is zoned Semi-Attached Housing under
the SPS. Under the SPS reconfiguration of a lot requires a code assessable development
application.
The subject site is also identified by the SPS’s Bushfire Hazard Overlay and Flood Hazard Overlay.
An application to reconfigure the lot would be required to address the requirements associated with
these overlays and the Engineering Works Codes, including the Water Sensitive Design Code.
Notably the proposal does not trigger the Biodiversity Overlay Code.
Page 7 of 46
Section 8
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 MAY 2021
In comparison under The Noosa Plan 2020, the site is zoned Medium Density Residential, which is
the equivalent of the Semi-Attached Housing zone under the SPS. An application to reconfigure the
land would also be code assessable. Under the Noosa Plan 2020 the site is mapped by the
Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay (Riparian Buffer and Waterway), Bushfire Hazard
Overlay (Potential Impact Buffer), Flood Hazard Overlay and Landslide Hazard Overlay (Moderate
and High Hazard Areas).
The following image details the zoning of the site and surrounding area under both the superseded
and Noosa Plan 2020.
Figure 4 – Land Zoning (Noosa Plan 2006)
Figure 5 – Land Zoning (Noosa Plan 2020)
The primary differences between the superseded and the current planning schemes is that the
Biodiversity Overlay and Landslide Hazard Overlay now apply to the site.
Acceptable Outcomes AO6.1 and AO6.2 2 of the Noosa Plan 2020 Biodiversity, Waterways and
Wetlands Overlay Code seek that:
Page 8 of 46
Section 9
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 MAY 2021
AO6.1
Development and clearing of vegetation does not occur within:
a. a riparian buffer area;
b. a wetland area; or
c. 10 metres either side of the centre line of other waterways identified on a Biodiversity,
Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Map.
AO6.2
Development provides for the rehabilitation of land within:
a. a riparian buffer area;
b. a wetland area; and
c. 10 metres either side of the centre line of any other waterway identified on a Biodiversity,
Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Map.
The following images detail the mapped waterway and the proposed development in this area. The
images identify that the proposed development is generally located outside the mapped riparian
buffer area, with the riparian buffer area to be included as drainage reserve and therefore does not
overtly offend the Noosa Plan 2020 as the waterway’s function is largely maintained.
Figure 6 – Mapped waterways (Noosa Plan 2020) and proposed lot layout
However under The Noosa Plan 2020, this area would be required to be rehabilitated to a level and
extent that would not typically be required under the SPS for a drainage reserve.
The Noosa Plan 2020 also seeks that no development occur within 10 metres of a waterway and
that 10 metres either side of a waterway is rehabilitated. Compliance with this requirement has the
potential to impact on lot 4 and the proposed lot layout. However preliminary review indicates that
the waterway is in a deteriorated state and contains sewerage infrastructure and so may have limited
impact on the number of lots able to be achieved.
Furthermore Acceptable Outcome AO8.1 the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay code,
seeks that no new lots directly back onto a riparian buffer area and for new public roads to be located
between a riparian buffer area and the proposed development area. Whilst the proposed layout
includes a lot which abuts the riparian buffer it is unlikely to be reasonable to provide a public road
for the full length of this riparian buffer.
The requirements of the Landslide Hazard Overlay would have little impact on the proposed lot yield.
Page 9 of 46
Section 10
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 MAY 2021
3.3. Potential for Compensation
Under the Planning Act 2016 a person who was the owner of the premise when The Noosa Plan
2020 commenced (referred to in the Act as an affected owner), may make a claim for compensation
where:
the planning scheme change reduces the value of an interest in premises (referred to in the
Act as an adverse planning change);
The request to apply the superseded planning scheme is refused;
Where the development is assessable under the Superseded Planning Scheme, the
application is made and refused, approved with conditions or approved in part or
Where the adverse change is a public purpose change.
However, pursuant to s30(4) of the Act an adverse planning change does not include a planning
change that:
(a) has the same effect as another statutory instrument, other than a TLPI, for which compensation
is not payable; or
(b) is made to comply with the regulated requirements; or
(c) includes infrastructure in a planning scheme, or removes or changes the infrastructure shown
in a planning scheme, including under a designation; or
(d) is about matters included in a LGIP; or
(e) is made—
(i) to reduce a material risk of serious harm to persons or property on the premises from natural
events or processes (bush fires, coastal erosion, flooding or landslides, for example); and
(ii) under a provision of the Minister’s rules that applies specifically to the making of a planning
change to reduce the risk; or
(f) is about the relationships between, the location of, or the physical characteristics of, buildings,
works or lots, if the yield achievable is not substantially different from the yield achievable
before the change; or
(g) is made under section 276(1)(c) to identify all or part of a local government area as a party
house restriction area
Notably for (f) above, the yield achievable is not substantially different from the yield achievable
before the change, in relation to building work for a residential building, if the gross floor area of the
residential building - (a) is not more than 2,000m2; and (b) is reduced by not more than 15%.
The applicant maintains that the changes are adverse planning changes which have reduced the
value of an interest in the premises and that refusal to apply the SPS to a development application
may trigger claims for compensation. Whilst it is acknowledged that the new planning scheme does
raise some additional considerations, it is likely that a similar lot yield is able to be achieved under
both the SPS and the Noosa Plan 2020. However, the requirement to rehabilitate the riparian buffer
is an enhanced requirement which would add increased costs and responsibilities when developing
the site under the Noosa Plan 2020.
In any event it is important to note that the proposed development would require modification in order
to satisfactorily address the site constraints and the requirements of the superseded planning
scheme, including a widening of the access way and provision for car parking.
The current owner is an affected owner and in the circumstances the owner may reasonably apply
for compensation if the request is refused.

4. CONSULTATION
4.1. Other Referrals
Not applicable
5. CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
It is concluded that the Noosa Plan 2020 does introduce some additional considerations for
development of the site, and while these changes may have limited impact on the lot yield likely to
be achieved, assessment under The Noosa Plan 2020 is likely to result in additional conditions being
imposed that may lead to increased costs for the applicant. Subdivision of the site under the
superseded planning scheme for the site is also expected to achieve a reasonable development
outcome for the site, consistent with surrounding development and for this reason it is recommended
that the request to accept an application under the Superseded Planning Scheme be agreed to.
It is noted that the owner may reasonably apply for compensation if the request is refused.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Following Council’s resolution at its February 2021 Ordinary Meeting, tenders were invited from
businesses wishing to apply for Commercial High Use Permits on community land for a range of
prescribed commercial activities focused around Noosa Main Beach. Respondents were invited to
submit tenders via VendorPanel, with submissions closing on 6 April 2021. Council engaged Preston
Law as the independent probity advisor to support and monitor the tender process.
Of the ten permits tendered, the assessment panel recommends eight permits be offered to existing
permit holders and one permit be offered to a new permittee. No submissions were received for one
permit and it is recommended that activity be discontinued.
It is further recommended a future report be considered to update Council’s Commercial Use of
Community Land Policy to reflect the outcomes of the tender process.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Property Advisor to the General Committee Meeting dated 17
May 2021 regarding the Commercial High Use Permits tender assessment and:

REPORT
1. Purpose
The purpose of this report is to seek Council endorsement to issue new five year Commercial High
Use permits to conduct approved commercial activities on Council controlled land commencing 1
July 2021.
2. Background
Council allows limited commercial use of public land under its control in accordance with its
Commercial Use of Community Land Policy. Existing Commercial High Use permits are focussed
around the Noosa Main Beach precinct and are due to expire on 30 June 2021 (with the exception
of one iconic lifetime permit held by Hey Bill). Council resolved to proceed to tender for new permits
at its Ordinary Meeting in February 2021.
3. Tender Process
Council prepared and called for public tenders in accordance with the Local Government Act 2009.
The tender was released via VendorPanel on 3 March 2021, and advertised in Noosa Today on 5
March 2021, with the tender period closing on 6 April 2021. Respondents could submit for multiple
permits but the tender provisions noted a maximum of two permits would be awarded to any one
party. The tender material was accessed by 94 parties through the portal.
4. Tender Assessment
The tender evaluation panel undertook an assessment of nineteen (19) conforming tender
submissions received from fourteen (14) businesses (detailed in Table 1 below). Two additional
submissions were received and assessed as non-conforming and were not considered.
The conforming tenders were evaluated using the following criteria and weightings:
Evaluation Criteria Weighting
Track Record and Past Experience 50%
Current and Future Capital Investment 15%
Activity Management Plan 15%
Environment and Sustainability Initiatives 5%
Contribution to Local Community and Economy 15%
To support and monitor the tender process, Preston Law were commissioned as independent probity
advisors. Refer Attachment 10 – Probity Advisor Report.
Table 1 below summarises the results of the assessment and identifies:
The permit activities offered;
The respondents for each activity;
The current permit holder (CPH); and

Permit Recommendation Details
Learn to Surf Noosa Main Beach West 1
Council received three submissions for this activity.
Surf Skills Pty Ltd (trading as Noosa Learn to Surf) is the existing permit holder and has operated
surf lessons for 26 years on Noosa Main Beach. The respondent provided a very thorough, well
written submission that fully addressed the assessable criteria. The submission demonstrated an
excellent track record, very high levels of capital investment, planning for future investment and all
aspects of its business operations. The respondent’s contribution to the local economy and
Page 15 of 46
Section 16
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 MAY 2021
community was also of a very high standard. The respondent has provided a professional service
to the community over the permit term and there have been no significant compliance issues
regarding the permit holder’s performance over the previous permit term.
Learn to Surf Noosa Main Beach West 2
Council received three submissions for this activity.
Go Ride a Wave Pty Ltd (trading as Noosa Surf Lessons and Go Ride a Wave) is the existing permit
holder and has conducted surf lessons for approximately 15 years on Noosa Main Beach West, on
the Gold Coast since 2004 and Victoria since 1987. The respondent provided a thorough submission
which fully addressed the assessable criteria. The respondent demonstrated an extensive track
record and high levels of capital investment. The respondent’s contribution to the local community,
the local economy and the number of relevant industry affiliations was also of a high standard. The
respondent has provided a professional service to the community over the permit term and there
have been no significant compliance issues regarding the permit holder’s performance over the
previous permit term.
Kayak Hire and Tours –Noosa Main Beach West
Council received no submissions for this activity.
Noosa Ocean Kayak Tours and Hire is the existing permit holder and, whilst the company tendered
submissions for other permit activities, it chose not to tender for this activity. Council staff noted in
the February report there had been a low level of activity under this permit. Notably, the submissions
made by the recommended permittees for the beach hire businesses include provision of 12+ kayaks
available for hire. Permittees will also have the option to provide more kayaks in future should
demand increase. Given the lack of submissions for this permit it is recommended the permit be
discontinued.
Beach Equipment Hire – Main Beach
Council received four submissions for his activity.
Noosa Beach Surf Hire is the existing permit holder and has operated beach hire activities on Manly
Beach since 1992 and Bondi Beach since 2009. The respondent provided a thorough, well written
submission that fully addressed the assessable criteria. The respondent demonstrated an extensive
track record in the industry and appropriate levels of capital investment. The respondent’s
contribution to the local community, the local economy and the number of relevant industry affiliations
were also of a very high standard. The respondent has provided a professional service to the
community over the permit term and there have been no significant compliance issues regarding the
permit holder’s performance over the previous permit term.
Beach Equipment Hire –Noosa Main Beach West
Council received three submissions for this activity.
Go Ride a Wave Pty Ltd (trading as Noosa Surf Lessons and Go Ride a Wave) is the current permit
holder, having been awarded the permit in 2017. Its submission demonstrated an extensive industry
track record and very high levels of capital investment. The respondent’s contribution to the local
economy and community and industry affiliations was also of a high standard. The respondent has
provided a professional service to the community over the permit term and there have been no
significant compliance issues regarding the permit holder’s performance over the previous permit
term.
Snacks and Drinks Refreshment Van – First Point
Council received two submissions for his activity.
Noosa Frenzy Ice Cream is the existing permit holder and has operated the refreshment van at First
Point for 27 years. Its submission was of a very high standard and demonstrated an excellent track
record and understanding of the activity’s needs, which fully addressed the assessable criteria. The
business has provided a professional service to the community over the previous permit term and
Page 16 of 46
Section 17
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 MAY 2021
there have been no significant compliance issues regarding the permit holder’s performance over
the term.
Snacks and Drinks Refreshment Van – Noosa Spit
Council received two submissions for this activity.
Kiwi Fish Pty Ltd’s submission demonstrated relevant experience and capacity to undertake the
activity, showed a higher level of business planning and professionalism and greater level of detail
in relation to the proposed new refreshment van and offerings. The business has successfully
operated an existing retail store for eleven years in Hastings Street and demonstrated strong
business acumen and understanding of the needs of the activity. The assessment panel
recommends Kiwi Fish Pty Ltd be offered the new permit for the Noosa Spit Refreshment Van.
Surf Dancing – Noosa Main Beach West
Council received one submission for this activity from the existing permit holder Surfdancer Pty Ltd.
The respondent demonstrated a high level of understanding, planning and competence across the
assessment criteria and is recommended to be offered a new permit. The business has provided a
professional service to the community over the previous permit term and there have been no
significant compliance issues regarding the permit holder’s performance over the term.
Beach Massage – Noosa Main Beach
Council received one submission for this activity from the existing permit holder, Amanda Obara,
who was first awarded the permit in 2017.
The assessment panel noted the incumbent has been observed to deliver an improved look and feel,
professionalism and level of service for this permit activity over the previous term. There have been
no significant compliance issues regarding the permit holder’s performance. The submission
demonstrated a high level of experience, organisation and professionalism as the existing operator
and is recommended to be offered a further permit.
Kite Surfing Lessons – Noosa River Mouth
Council received one submission for this activity from the existing permit holder, Tarr’s Enterprises
Pty Ltd (trading as Adventure Sports Kitesurf Australia).
The respondent demonstrated a high level of knowledge, planning and competence across the
assessable criteria and is recommended to be offered a further permit. The business has provided
a professional service to the community over the previous permit term and there have been no
significant compliance issues regarding the permit holder’s performance over the term.
5. Consequential Amendments to Council Policy
As previously acknowledged, the new Commercial High Use Permits are now offered for 5 year
terms and this is a variation to Council’s existing policy, which includes the previous permit terms of
3 years. Given the change, it is recommended a future report to Council be considered by detailing
an amended policy. As part of these amendments it is also recommended Council consider listing
the agreed permit activities policy to provide greater certainty and transparency for the community.
Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting, 18 February 2021, Item 7, Page 12
That Council note the report by the Property Advisor to the Services & Organisation Committee
Meeting dated 9 February 2021 regarding Commercial High Use Permits and agree to proceed to a
public tender process for new permits based on the proposed permits, fees, terms and assessment
criteria detailed in the report.
Finance
Permit fees proposed as part of the 2021/22 budget will seek to fund permit administration costs
throughout the term and achieve a fair return for the community.

Section 18
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 MAY 2021
Risks & Opportunities
The Permits are considered a high profile component of Council’s land management activity as:
There is a high level of competition between submitters; and
The activity locations are highly desirable community land that are well patronised by tourists
and locals
This report and the tender process undertaken seek to address the risks associated with the
transparency and rigour of the permit process, in line with Council’s regulatory requirements and to
avoid complaints from aggrieved competitors. The report further recommends future amendments
to Council’s associated policy be considered to reflect the outcomes of the tender process and
provide greater transparency for the community.

Summary of Observations
4. On 1 March 2021, Leigh Mooney emailed me to seek to clarify drafting of the tender response
schedule. | responded on 1 March 2021. The query did not turn on a probity issue.
5. On 1 April 2021, Leigh Mooney emailed me to advise that Council intended to extend the
tender closing time from 2pm 2 April 2021 (being Good Friday) to 2pm Tuesday 6 April 2021,

Attachments Nil.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the People and Culture Manager to the General Committee Meeting
dated 17 May 2021 providing an update on the Certified Agreement negotiation process and
authorise the Chief Executive Officer to finalise the Noosa Shire Council Certified Agreement.
REPORT
The purpose of this report is to inform Council of progress in the development of a Noosa Shire
Council Certified Agreement (CA). This report will also outline the final steps in the process for the
Certified Agreement to be certified.
1. Background
The initial Noosa Council Certified Agreement 2018 brought together the two Sunshine Coast
Council Certified Agreements which continued to apply to Noosa Council under relevant industrial
relations legislation.
During the current negotiations the five participating unions presented 46 claims which were themed
into six categories whilst Council tabled 17 matters for negotiation.
Negotiations commenced on 11 February 2021 and following a series of meetings from this date to
early May, a final pay offer was submitted to unions to reach “in principal” agreement and to progress
to a staff vote.
Signatories to the proposed new four year CA will include:
CEO, Noosa Council
The Services Union
The Australian Workers Union of Employees
The Construction, Forestry, Mining, Maritime and Energy Union of Employees
United Voice Industrial Union of Employees
Plumbers Union of Employees Qld
Professionals Australia
Transport Workers Union
Electrical Trades Union
Many of the clauses within the proposed new CA remain unchanged from the 2018 Agreement with
the exception of the issues identified below:
A four year agreement which will provide longer term certainty for both Council and staff.
Pay increases as follows:
o Year 1 - 1.6% or $23 whichever is greater
o Year 2 – 1.75% or $25 whichever is greater
o Year 3 – 2.25% or $27 or CPI whichever is greater
o Year 4 – 2.5% or $27 or CPI whichever is greater
Page 31 of 46
Section 32
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 MAY 2021
The first pay rise will apply from 22 February 2021 if there is a successful vote. This is the
date the previous agreement expired. The pay rises are designed to reflect Council’s COVID
recovery approach with pay rises for staff increasing over time. The introduction of a dollar
per week increase is also designed to provide a more significant increase to our lower paid
staff than just a percentage increase;
Improved leave management provisions and clarity on ambiguity in clauses within the
agreement; and
Allowances in the Certified Agreement consolidated and standardised for the life of the
agreement.
Previous Council Consideration
Nil.
Finance
The financial implications of the new CA will be incorporated into the 2020/21 budget.
Risks & Opportunities
The maintenance of a single agreement provides for some administrative improvements from a
management perspective and supports a collective organisational culture not impeded by barriers
between the indoor and outdoor staff. A longer agreement (four years versus the standard three year
arrangement) also enables Council to plan with certainty for a longer term. The most significant risk
of not agreeing on a new CA is employee discontent and industrial action. The finalisation of the
Noosa Certified Agreement is also dependent on a successful vote by staff which is prosed for late
May/early June 2021. After the vote has been conducted the Agreement needs to be certified by
the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission.
Consultation
External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder
Relevant unions.

trust and for restricted purposes (e.g. unexpended levy and grant funds), cash inflows from the
January rate levy, prepaid grants including the financial assistance grant and other capital works
grants, as well as any other monies committed for funding capital projects which are underway and
will continue during the financial year.
The following pie charts present the mix of cash held at April 2021 by agency (graph on the left) and
by credit risk rating (graph on the right). All funds have been invested in accordance with the
Investment Policy and in consideration of the principles of ethical investment, preservation of capital,
