Schedule to the Planning Scheme and Zoning

The subject site is included in the Special Facilities Zone with a Plan of
Development providing specific development outcomes on the site. The
intent of the zone is for development to be carried out in accordance with the
Plan of Development. The Plan of Development (No. 46, Drawing No. 2945D)
(see Annex D) that applies to the site was gazetted in Fully 1996. :

Permitted uses defined by the Plan of Development are-actommodatior: for
400 persons in up to 169 units plus 8 shops, 3 restaurants, resort management
office, guest activities and entertainment, information centre and sport and
recreation facilities. Maximum building height is stated as two storeys and
maximum gross floor area as 12,330 square meires.

Draft Noosa North Shore Management Strategy

Consultation relating to the draft Noosa North Shore Management Strategy
(NNSMS) was carried out in July/August 2003. The draft document deals
with general iand management issues on the North Shore, as distinct from
specific land use issues that are addressed under the Planning Scheme.
Nevertheless, the document does identify some land use issues and one of
these is of relevance to the subject site.

At $2.6 on page 20 of the NNSMS, there is an indication that there is a latent
demand for additional camping facilities and that these demands should be
met by the visitor node. Whilst the wording is not exactly clear, if an increase
in density is sought by the NNSMS, Petrac believes that it should not strive to
compete with accommodation types provided on the Noosa North Shore
Retreat site, rather it should operate in a complementary manner. In this
respect, Petrac has identified that there is a suitable area adjacent to the
western frontage of the site where motor homes could be accormmodated. This
area has been advanced as an option and if not acceptable, the area would be
maintained for passive recreation purposes.
