                3.    The proposal is contrary to overall outcomes (a), (c), (g), (j) and
                performance outcomes PO1, PO2 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code
                as:
                   a. The proposal is not residential being identified as a community activity
                    under the Noosa Plan and is of a scale and design that is incompatible with
                    and will impact adversely on nearby residents’ amenity.
                   b. The proposal offers no integration or internal connection with the Noosa
                    hospital.
                   c. The proposal is not small scale and will service the wider community
                    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.
