D.1.3

irrespective of the scale of impact or the time taken to result in a measurable
impact,
The maintenance of significant vegetation values may be assisted by including

land with such values within regulatory areas for vegetation protection.

. Where there are particularly significant strategic values, consideration will be
given to.the purchase of land. to be places in appropriate public tenure.

17.4.2.5 For allotments within the Open Space — ;Conservation and Waterway
Protection designation, the highest order of use is a dwelling house and
subdivision of those allotments is not intended.” __

Sections 17.4.2.1 to 17.4.2.3 identify the areas covered by the Open Space —
Conservation and Waterway Protection designation and provide high level intent
statements. The prior dedication of land from the site for National Park
purposes, the retention of a substantial percentage of the site as Conservation
Zone and the setting of the development within the existing iand form and
landscape in balance precincts is consistent with the intent of the Strategic
Plan combination of Open Space — Conservation and Waterway Protection and
Visitor Accommodation and Services designations.

Similarly, the elements described above also meet the intent of Section 17.4.2.4
as the substantive environmental values of the site will be maintained by the
development.

Section 17.4.2.5 addresses land without a Visitor Accommodation & Services
overlay and. seeks to limit development on other freehold sités to single
dwelling houses. This approach is consistent with the DCP and similarly the
approach taken for the Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal is consistent
with the visitor accommodation intent of the DCP.

To summarise, the development will meet the intent of the Strategic Plan in
terms of its development outcomes, its protection of environmental values
over the site and the economic and educational contributions it makes to the
community.

The provisions of the North Shore DCP (discussed below) provide further
direction and guidance on the provisions and intentions for visitor
accommodation areas, and the relationship with the environmental protection
intentions that cover the site.

North Shore DCP

The North Shore DCP was gazetted on 9 June 1995 and provides both policy
and regulatory provisions specific to the North Shore area. Section 4.2.4
applies to the subject site and the site of the Noosa North Shore Retreat, and
identifies appropriate land uses, population densities and other development
provisions for the site. The site is referred to as “Lot 3 on RP138773” within
the North Shore DCP and the locality intent is for “visitor accommodation and
services” (Section 4.2.4, page 9).
