6.1. NOOSA RIVER CATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stockwell
provided the following declaration to the meeting of a declarable conflict of interest
in this matter:
I, Cr Stockwell, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this
matter due to my long standing connection with Noosa District Landcare as one of
the inaugural members of the unincorporated group dating back to the 1980s and a
current ordinary member. Noosa District Landcare is identified as being consulted in
the report. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe a
reasonable person could have a perception of bias considering the community nature
of this relationship. I believe I can make an impartial decision in the public interest in
this matter and l therefore choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I will
respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in the
decision.
Council Resolution
Moved: Cr Joe Jurisevic
Seconded: Cr Tom Wegener
That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Stockwell and determine
that Cr Stockwell participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that
a reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
Carried unanimously.
Councillor Stockwell did not vote on the above motion.
In accordance with Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009, Cr Stockwell

in this matter:
Page 5
ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES 21 SEPTEMBER 2023
I, Cr Stockwell, inform the meeting that I have a declarable conflict of interest in this
matter as I have a long-standing relationship with MRCCC as a previous government
employee and a longterm collaborator since 1994. I have in the past had a small
consultant contract below the limit for a Prescribed Conflict and prior to the declarable
time frame. I was up until the last AGM Council's representative on the committee
and in this role I played a role in facilitating and developing the group's revised
catchment strategy. Although I have a declarable conflict of interest, I do not believe
a reasonable person could have a perception of bias considering the community
nature of this relationship. I will choose to remain in the meeting room. However, I
will respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and participate in
the decision.
Council Resolution
Moved: Cr Joe Jurisevic
Seconded: Cr Tom Wegener
That Council note the declarable conflict of interest by Cr Stockwell and determine
that Cr Stockwell participates and votes on this matter because Council believes that
Cr Stockwell does not stand to gain personally or materially through noting this
report, and therefore a reasonable person would trust the final decision is made in
the public interest.
Carried unanimously.
Councillor Stockwell did not vote on the above motion.
Motion

(b) and (c), (2)(a), (b) and (e)(i), Acceptable Outcome AO7.3 and Performance
Outcomes PO4 and PO7, of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code as:
a. The development application is for subdivision in an area identified as

b. The lot size and subdivision layout in not consistent with the
established character and amenity of Noosa Parklands Estate.

Performance Outcomes PO1 and PO7 of the Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code

property from bushfire hazard.

A. Refuse the application for the following reasons:
1. The proposal conflicts with Section 3.3.2, strategic outcomes (k), (n) and
Section 3.3.3, strategic outcome (a) of the Strategic Framework as:
a. The proposal expands health care services further along Goodchap

performance outcomes PO1, PO2 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code
as:

under the Noosa Plan and is of a scale and design that is incompatible with

and not just local residents.
4. The proposal is contrary to overall outcomes (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and
performance and acceptable outcomes PO1, PO3, AO3, PO5, A)5, PO8 of the
Community Activities Code as:
a. The proposal is not integrated with the hospital or co-located on the
Noosa Hospital site.
b. The proposal is of a type, scale and intensity that is not consistent with
surrounding development and character of the area and zone, includes
substantial infrastructure to the site’s frontage and will remove mature
native trees that significantly contribute to the streetscape.
c. The proposal is likely to have significant adverse impacts on the amenity
enjoyed by adjoining and nearby residents with insufficient buffering
proposed for residents.
5. The proposal is contrary to overall outcomes (a), (b) and PO6 of the
Driveways and Parking Code as insufficient car parking has been provided to
accommodate the number and type of vehicles likely to be generated by the
development.
6. The proposal does not comply with performance and acceptable outcome
PO6, AO6.1 of the Water Quality and Drainage Code as the site discharges
into Lake Doonella which is of high ecological value and it has not been
demonstrated the development will not cause an increase in gross pollutants,
total suspended solids, total phosphorous or total nitrogen compared to a pre-
development scenario as required.
7. There is no Planning need for the site to be developed for the proposed
community activity given there are other approved medical and health centres
that are yet to establish and other areas where the use could locate consistent
with the scheme’s zoning pattern.
8. The site ought to be retained for housing, with lots of this potential rare in
Noosa Shire.
B. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning
Act 2016.
