     That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment
     Committee Meeting dated 10 October 2017 and refuse Applications MCU16/0153 for a
     Development Permit for Development Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises -
     Multiple Housing Type 4 Conventional (26 units) Visitor Accommodation Type 4
     Conventional (20 units) shared Multiple Housing Type 4 Conventional and Visitor
     Accommodation Type 4 Conventional (12 units) (Total 58 units) and REC16/0041 for the
     Reconfiguration of a Lot (1 Lot into 29 Lots), situated at 215 David Low Way Peregian Beach
     for the following reasons:
     1.    The proposal development is in conflict with the tourism objectives of the planning
           scheme as set out in the:
           (i)    Desired Environmental Outcomes; and
           (ii)   Overall Outcomes for the Eastern Beaches Locality Code,
           of the Noosa Plan.
     2.    The proposed development is an inconsistent use in the Open Space Recreation Zone.
     3.    The proposed development is for a scale and form of buildings which is incompatible
           with the informal beachside character of the Eastern Beaches Locality and is contrary
           to the Overall Outcomes of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code. Furthermore, the
           proposal is for multiple housing, a form of development which under the Planning
           scheme is limited to Sunshine Beach.
     4.    The proposed development ignores the Council’s long-held planning strategy whereby
           the site is to be retained for low-cost visitor accommodation.
     5.    The proposal presents an unacceptable development outcome with respect to
           adjoining properties in Rufous Street.
     6.    The development provides for an inadequate number of car parking spaces.
     7.    The application has not demonstrated sufficient planning or community need to justify
           setting aside the clear conflicts with the Noosa Plan.
     8.    The proposed works are contrary to the Natural Hazards Overlay Code as the risk from
           bushfire has not adequately been addressed and the layout may compromise the
           safety of people and property in the event of a bushfire.
     9.    The applicant has not sufficiently demonstrated that the development will not adversely
           impact upon the specialised habitat for threatened species through discharge of
           stormwater through the wetland areas of the National Park.
     10.   The application for the proposed works has not demonstrated compliance with State
           Planning Policy July 2017 Part E Biodiversity as impacts on matters of state
           significance have not been adequately addressed.
     11.   A number of properly made submissions have been received raising valid grounds of
           objection.
